The 7 Ankh pieces
This is a list of clues to the Cup of Ankh/Immortality.

Fabian and Nina found a painting of a girl in the attic, where Nina used her locket to open the hidden door. On the back of the portrait, they found a set of three Egyptian hieroglyphics written in in the corner.
Riddle: None

with the cylinders of Sarah's voice in the attic.
The Second Clue[]

Riddle : "Ket is the place to find and there in the flames you must look behind]"
Solution: "When daytime ends" means sunset. There's a stain glass window with a sunset shown in it in the attic. There is also a stain glass window in the main entry. "Tears of glass" refers to the chandelier in the main entry. At midday, the sunlight shines through both the stain glass window and the chandelier. When focused through the glass bulbs in the chandelier, the sunlight shines directly on a panel in the main entry, which is opened with the Eye of Horus.

The Fourth Clue[]
Location : Cellar
Riddle: A set of numbers
Solution: From the previous riddle "Ket" means "place of fire" in Egyptian. Nina thinks it means a fireplace, but it actually refers to an oven in the kitchen that no one can figure out how to open. The oven is opened by Nina's necklace "Eye of Horus" and it reveals a passage leading down to the cellar. In the cellar there is a large tethering ring with numbers on the inside of the ring.
The Fifth Clue[]
Location: The riddle is hidden behind the 1922 panel on the sarcophagus
The Arabic Dictionary being opened
'Riddle:"Beleathered and clasped the one place where 'yesterday' '''''always follows 'tomorrow'"

==The Sixth Clue==
Location: The dictionary where the riddle below was found in the school library. Riddle: "Under the eyes of Horus a globe and hollow lie, two right for eternity but just one left to die"
Solution: The word from the previous riddle "yesterday" always comes after the word "tomorrow" in a dictionary. The answer is a leather Arabic dictionary with a clasp on it. Inside it is a hollowed out area. It has a riddle written on it in invisible ink, which is revealed by Nina's flashlight.
The Seventh Clue[]
Where the Fourth Ankh piece was hidden
Location : Inside the hollow handle of the stair case. It's riddle is found inside the Ankh piece found in the handle.
Riddle : "My father's father stands tall, his face and hands together turn circles around Isis and Osiris and Horus the son reveals me"
Solution : The banister of the stairway has several Eyes of Horus carved into it. The handles at the end are globe shaped. By turning the hollow one two times to the right, it opens to reveal a puzzle piece, but if you turn it to the left once, it locks and can never be opened again. It contains an Ankh piece, which Victor confiscates. A code can be put in to which then it opens revealing another riddle for the next Ankh piece.
The Eighth Clue[]
Alfie holding the fifth Ankh piece
Location : Inside the grandfather clock
Riddle : "Awaken the voice."

The Cup of Ankh[]
Cup of Ankh
All seven clues make up the "The Cup of Ankh." The cup was forged by the Egyptian god Anubis, but a high priestess named Amneris stole it from him. In retaliation, he broke the cup into seven pieces, rendering it powerless until such a time as it could be reassembled and restored. Only someone descended from Amneris could reassemble the cup. This Person would be known by the fact that they were born on the seventh hour of the seventh day of the seventh month (July 7 at 7:00 AM).
The Cup can only be assembled on the chosen hour of the chosen day, which only comes once every 25 years. Once assembled, anyone who drinks the Elixir of Life from the Cup of Ankh will become immortal. However, the consequence of this is that once you become immortal, one of seven predetermined individuals known as The Seven Acolytes will die, because one life must exchanged for another.
