Pythagoras-858 acquired an Electromagnetic Ankh in “an alternate timeline where the Pharaohs defeated the Macedonians and their civilisation advanced well into the 16th and 17th centuries, complete with thaumato-technological advances well ahead of anything Western civilisation [was] doing in […] the early 21st century”. The device could apparently be used to determine whether someone was alive or dead, whether they were under a curse, and whether their soul was still inside their body.
