     When game designer, Pegasus J. Crawford went to Egypt, he found stone tablets of ancient dark duels. He based a Collectible Card Game on these stone tablet recordings and called it Duel Monsters. However, he also created 3 unimaginable cards based on one tablet which the battle between a young Egyptian pharaoh resembling Yugi controlling Black Magician and a priest who controls a monster resembling Blue Eyes White Dragon. However, above the battle, the engraving of the Millennium Puzzle was surrounded by 3 card engravings...

"Slifer, The Sky Dragon"

"Obelisk the Tormenter"

"The wing dragon of Ra"

Each of these 3 mythological beasts represents the polarity of the universe. Obelisk represents light and darkness. Slifer represents good and evil. Ra represents earth and sky. Whoever obtains these 3 rare cards, will become forever undefeatable. The person will dominate the world of dueling, and will also gain the title "King of Duelists". However Pegasus regretted ever making these 3 rare cards. Because the cards, as if with the power of the actual deity living inside them, they all have super strong powers. Whoever obtains these cards can use them for good and for bad. If an evil heart uses these cards, it could even be used to take away someone's life. In games, they could become the ultimate weapon.

     Pegasus originally wanted to take care of the cards himself, but he failed, therefore he decided to let these cards sleep forever at where they came from, deep underground at the "Valley of Kings" in Egypt. Egyptian department of archaeology accepted the job and sealed the 3 cards at 3 locations in Valley of Kings. However someone stole them out...GHOULS, a notorious international rare card thieving organization, stole the cards. However, 1 card was prevented from being stolen. Isis Ishtar, head of the Department of Archaeology of the Egyptian government came to Domino City, and also opened up an Egyptian exhibition at the Domino City museum. She opened up the exhibition because she wanted to reveal where Duel Monsters came from. She believes that these stone tablets have the power of gathering a large group of duelists.

     Upon telling her guest, Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corp., she handed Kaiba the one card that was prevented from being stolen, the Obelisk the Tormenter. She entrusts the card to Kaiba because she believes Kaiba has the power of keeping the card safe, and she also believe if she gives Kaiba the card, GHOUL will be out on the prey again...AND Thus Started THE BATTLE CITY.
