It is believed that the bulk of the text was first written and codified in 4367 BCE, by the great Egyptian Pharaoh Steve Martin XIV, who dictated it to a group of 100 slaves. Upon turning in the original draft, the slaves were promply executed so that Martin could retain all credit for what historians consider to be the second humorous document ever written (the first being a tablet inscribed with the question, "What came first: The Chicken or the Egg?"). Martin had the account sealed inside his burial pyramid so securely that it was not discovered until 1980, by a team of accompanying the crew of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Its existence has been deemed a miracle, since Uncyclopedia itself did not actually exist until 2005.
