The Tomb Keepers are a group of Egyptians from ancient times, a clan with a single purpose. Their duty, throughout all of history, was to protect the tomb of the nameless pharaoh and its legacy. This legacy is carved into the back of each Tomb Keeper (tattooed in the English dub) - a carving of the Tablet of Lost Memories, in preparation for the day that the pharaoh would be reincarnated and be shown his memories once more. It was said that once the pharaoh returns, the Tomb Keepers have no more necessary purpose to exist.
