Legacy

Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré is the third chapter of the Köhntarkösz trilogy. It is supposed to tell the story of Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré. But since he was murdered in antiquity and Köhntarkösz supposedly found his tomb in the 1970s (and had a vision of Ëmëhntëhtt-Ré's life) the album can be seen as the third and final chapter of the trilogy and a prequel as well.
