AMENTI
SYNOPSIS
AMENTI (action/adventure/sci-fi) WGA # 1002609 Synopsis:
When their technology had tipped the electro-magnetic balance of the Earth and a deluge was eminent, the greatest minds of Atlantis came together and devised a plan to project themselves through time to the next ‘Age of Light.’ They created a time capsule and set it in the labyrinth beneath the Sphinx. But the plan, however perfect, was a puzzle that needed to be found, solved and implemented by people in some future distant time, if the world survived…
In modern times, an archeological dig is going on at the foot of the Sphinx, in search of the legendary ‘Vault of Records’ (the time capsule set in the time of Atlantis). Renegade archeologists Desmond North and Collie Drummer set up the dig. To the dismay of the Egyptian Government they have already revealed that the monuments at Gizeh are thousands of years older than dated, changing Egyptian history.
At the same time, in the waters of the Bermuda Triangle, another expedition headed by a woman named Deelor, is taking place. Her team is in search of any remnants of Atlantis.
In the labyrinth beneath the Sphinx Desmond and Collie find a huge cut stone in the shape of a pyramid with a mysterious missing space in the APEX. It’s the Capstone of a pyramid. At sea, the expedition discovers a large Crystal Diadem. But there are paranormal occurrences, obscure messages, odd sounds, a ghost ship and a shipwreck. Deelor survives and the diadem gets back the USA, where it is studied.
Collie finds the Vault of Records but the ‘Record’ is encoded into hand held crystals that reveal information in the form of visions and holograms. The encoded crystals show the last days of Atlantis, their technologically advanced and pyramidal culture. They provide instructions on how to “Open the doors of Amenti.” Collie and Desmond have visions of Thoth, an Egyptian god, who tells them they “must complete the task.” General Hassan, Security Officer at Gizeh, tries to stop their progress every step of the way and assigns Hanif, his scar faced guard, to watch them at all times. Hanif finds one of the encoded crystals in their tent. He holds it and has a vision that scares him but inspires him to learn more. Eventually he becomes an ally.
When Collie sees a photo of the diadem in a newspaper, he goes to the USA to find Deelor. He uses the encoded crystals to gain her trust. Together they share a vision of crowning the Capstone with the Diadem. The US Government confiscates the diadem to learn more about it, but Collie and Deelor steal it back. Collie falls for Deelor. In Egypt Desmond is in lock-up for theft of an artifact, (the encoded crystals) and Collie is wanted. After a long chase Collie and Deelor get caught by the US Military. But because they seem to be the only people who can get near the diadem with no ill effects, the government strikes up a deal with them. The deal gets them into Egypt where they spring Desmond and fight off the guards with the help of other prisoners and befriended Tomb Raiders. Colonel Hammond of the US Government is at NASA headquarters watching all via Satellite photographs.
When they crown the capstone with the diadem an electro-magnetic force is created and causes the capstone to levitate and spin through the air like a craft making its way to the top of the pyramid. This activates the pyramid and a burst of energy is released creating a vortex and a tunnel of light. The fighting ceases as all look up and marvel.
Emerging from the tunnel, lights, like stars fill the sky and rain down on Gizeh. Wheels within wheels reveal the shape of human forms emerging from them, the ATLANTEAN SURVIVORS. Thoth stands forward and explains; “I set this cornerstone (the pyramid) in the last Age of Light (Leo), it was my final experiment and our last effort to preserve the sacred knowledge. We had lost everything to the deluge and have been suspended between dimensions until now. We are people, who have survived the destruction of our own time.” Thoth reaches out touching and healing Hanif’s scar. “Do you welcome us into yours?” The sky fills with military aircraft…
