cave collapse with only nur and his
father Bale surviving before Bale died

the prophesized Savior who was destined
to overthrow the Pharaoh who had only
risen to power through the use of alien
technology himself making it out of the
cave alive nur sought to fulfill his
destiny leading up to his assassination
