In the year 2126, England was ruled once more by a monarchy and nobles after years of anarchy. The new monarchies were ruled by Queens. When the Queen died, the people would choose representatives who would choose the next queen from the eligible princesses. Air travel was accomplished through balloons, aerial horses (inflated with gas), wings, and aerial sledges. There was also travel by horse, steam trains, and steam boats. Machinary and even automatons (some being used as lawyers, surgeons, and judges) were also run by steam or clockwork. The air quality in England had been greatly improved by the banning of burning coal. England started the practice of using chemicals on marble to create their sculptures. Greeks traveled around England as bards playing lutes and being fortune tellers. Communication was accomplished through telegraph or mail launched in balls by pnuematic cannons. Asbestos was still a commonly used product, including in fashion that employed jets of flame. In England, smaller houses were built on rails so people could visit the countryside without leaving the comforts of home. In the larger houses, an organ with pipes running through the house was played to summon and direct servents. The air composition and flow were regulated in those houses. Food was cooked with a chemical substitute for fire. All the world had been explored. Education was universal. The common tended to speak in a verbose, technical, and scientific way, while the nobility tended to speak simply and tersly. The upper class tended to be very emotional and have fits of passion as well as suffer from psychosomatic illness and exhaustion. England was at war with Germany. Spain, a military state that had been absorbed by Africa that prided itself on being a free republic (though criticizing the government or praising former governments was a mortal offense) was in a civil war with Ireland backing one side and France the other. While cannons and gun powder were used in war, horses, swords, wagons, and walls were still employed. England was once more a Catholic state. Ireland was ruled by a King. Besides his military escapades he engaged in personally, he had designs to lead an expedition to the moon and colonize it. Egypt was no longer filled with desert but turned into a lush agricultural country and the Nile heavily modified with canals. At the Great Pyramid in Egypt, Doctor Entwerfen and Edric revived the mummy Cheops back to life using electricity. The Mummy then traveled to England where he became a political puppet master in the shadows. ("The Mummy! A Tale of the Twenty Second Century" Novel)

Egypt Pyramid

The Egyptian pyramids are one of the most iconic symbols of ancient Egypt. The origins of pyramid building in ancient Egypt can be traced back to the third dynasty, with the construction of the Pyramid of Djoser, which is considered to be the world's oldest substantial monumental structure built of dressed stone . The Pyramid Age spanned over a thousand years, with pyramids being constructed by large work gangs over a period of many years . The pyramids originated from simple rectangular "mastaba" tombs that were constructed in Egypt over 5,000 years ago

The Great Pyramid of Giza is undoubtedly the most famous pyramid in Egypt. It was built as the tomb of Pharaoh Khufu, who ruled during the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom. Standing at an impressive height of 481 feet (147 meters) above the plateau, it is the largest Egyptian pyramid and consists of an estimated 2.3 million stone blocks
