Panel 1: The first panel shows Dilbert sitting at his desk, looking at a red creature with a long tail and horns. The creature is sitting on a table and appears to be speaking to Dilbert. The text reads: "EGYPTIAN PHARAOHS KILLED THE ENGINEERS WHO BUILT THEIR PYRAMIDS SO THEY WOULD NEVER SHARE THEIR SECRETS."

Panel 2: In the second panel, Dilbert responds to the creature with a skeptical expression, saying: "NO... I DON'T THINK THEY DID." The creature retorts: "REALLY? DANG!"

Panel 3: The third panel shows the creature standing on the table, looking at Dilbert with a serious expression. It says: "CAN WE RESCHEDULE THIS MEETING UNTIL I FIND A HISTORICALLY ACCURATE EXPLANATION OF OUR NEW POLICY?"
