Obelisk Protocol: The Pharaoh's Cipher

Hacker Anthology

In the heart of Paris, as the Luxor Obelisk undergoes its bicentennial restoration, Egyptologist and cryptologist Jean-Guillaume Olette-Pelletier makes a discovery that could rewrite the history of information itself. Hidden within the monument’s weathered hieroglyphs are crypto-messages—an ancient algorithm, encrypted by Ramses II, designed to control access to forbidden knowledge. As Jean-Guillaume deciphers these secrets, he finds himself thrust into a labyrinth of academic rivalry, shadowy organizations, and international intrigue, where every ally may be an adversary and every revelation could spark a global crisis. Haunted by the mysterious fate of his own Egyptologist father, Jean-Guillaume is driven by a need for truth and legacy, but the stakes quickly spiral beyond personal ambition. Powerful interests—from tech billionaires to secret societies—close in, convinced the Obelisk’s algorithm is the ultimate weapon in the modern arms race for data and influence. As cryptanalytic technology and ancient failsafes awaken, Jean-Guillaume must navigate the treacherous line between innovation and catastrophe. With the world watching, he faces an impossible choice: should he reveal a code that could empower or destroy, or keep history’s most dangerous secret buried for good?
