Larry and Nick hurry over to a skylight in another part of the wing where the moon’s beams are shining through and Larry puts the tablet under the light, but before he can set all of its tiles into place, Lancelot suddenly appears in front of him with a knife at Nick’s throat. Merenkahre gives Larry the tablet and tells him that it needs moonlight, otherwise they will all be dead by sunrise, and if the tablet dies, nothing can bring it back. Suddenly, the tablet corrodes further, draining more life out of Akhmenrah and the other New York exhibits. The tablet is slowly being covered with the green rust because it has been away from Khonsu’s light for too long. As long as the tablet remained bathed in moonlight, their family would be together forever, and not even death would separate them.
The tablet was forged in the temple of Khonsu, the moon god, and their family’s tomb was designed to channel Khonsu’s rays (moonlight) down to the tablet and rejuvenate its powers every night. Therefore, he commanded his high priest to create the tablet as a gift to Akhmenrah using all that they had learned of the mysteries of the afterlife. Merenkahre thus explains that, when he first gazed upon Akhmenrah after his birth, he instantly adored him, and he knew he could not bear the thought of having to say goodbye to him one day. He is initially hesitant to divulge the tablet’s secret aloud because he intended for it to only be passed down to Akhmenrah at the proper time, but his son informs him that 4,000 years have passed since their era, so now is as good a time as any. Larry tells Merenkahre that something is wrong with Akhmenrah’s tablet, and after checking it over, Merenkahre says that it is losing its power. They then find Akhmenrah’s parents, Merenkahre (Ben Kingsley) and Shepseheret (Anjali Jay), and Akhmenrah happily embraces them.
With the aid of Sir Lancelot (Dan Stevens), Larry (Ben Stiller), Nick (Skyler Gisondo), Teddy (Robin Williams), Attila (Patrick Gallagher), Sacajawea (Mizuo Peck), and Akhmenrah (Rami Malek) make their way past some of the more dangerous exhibits at the British Museum until they reach the Egyptian wing, after which they bid Lancelot farewell.
