Plot

Totokamen is an entertainer and an illusionist who performs in various Egyptian nightclubs assisted by his manager, Tarantenkamen. Taking advantage of cheesy tricks, Totokamen pretends to be the son of the god Amun. The Pharaoh Ramses is in the meanwhile facing the inexplicable betrayal of trust Maciste, who has decided to unleash a revolt against him, along with the Assyrians. To cope the emergency, a minister who had witnessed the spectacle of Totokamen is convinced that the man is really a demigod and that he is the right man to face Maciste.

Cast
gollark: It also ships its own JS (separate from the main, custom frontend JS, of course) which probably has dependencies in it too.
gollark: And the comment system is its own separate Python server.
gollark: However, various subprojects pull in something like five different web frameworks.
gollark: For instance, osmarks.net is weird and messy but the main static site technically has no dependencies once compiled.
gollark: It also probably depends on how you define what a "website" is.
