Capturing Steven and Sara, the Daleks forced the Doctor to handover the taranium core to save his friends. The barter was interrupted by ancient Egyptians, enabling the Doctor, Steven and Sara and the Monk to flee, though Chen was able to seize the core first. The Daleks attempted to hunt down the Doctor, however mistakenly targeted [[the Monk's TARDIS]] instead as the Doctor had changed its appearance to match his ship's exterior. After the Monk dematerialised, the Daleks returned to Kembel with the core. Using a [[directional unit]] he'd stolen from the Monk's TARDIS, the Doctor piloted his TARDIS to Kembel in pursuit.

[[ | The Red Dalek was destroyed by the Egyptians who bombarded him with [[rock]]s, taking out his [[gunstick]] and [[Dalek eyestalk|eyestalk]] and damaging the [[casing]] beyond his ability to move. The Egyptians buried the Dalek beneath a mound of [[stone]]. Chen and the rest of the squad returned to Kembel. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mutation of Time (novelisation)|The Mutation of Time]]'') He was among numerous Daleks lost in the attack. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe (short story)|Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe]]'') The Egyptians were reluctant to leave the pile of rocks on the site of the [[Great Pyramid of Giza|Great Pyramid]] lest it displease the [[spirit]] of the [[Pharaoh]] [[Cheops|Khufu]], but neither did they want to release the Red Dalek. To placate the Pharaoh, [[Khepren]] decided his [[mason]]s would carve the rocks into a [[Great Sphinx|Guardian of the Pyramid]], inspired by the [[legend]] of the [[Sphinx]].

[[Human]] [[historian]]s in the [[post-Time War universe]] believed that this incident was the earliest recorded appearance of Daleks in the linear history of Earth. Little evidence of this first incursion on Earth remained, save for the fragmentary accounts of two survivors, written in [[hieratic script]], and the images of a Dalek travel machine and the Doctor's TARDIS engraved on a stone tablet as part of an ancient warning.

However, the earlier ''[[Dalek Survival Guide]]'' presented a record of a Dalek in the [[Palaeolithic]] preceding the appearance of Daleks in hieroglyphic script in the Great Pyramid. An interesting additional discovery was that of an [[anachronism|anachronistic]] [[monk]]'s [[habit]]. The guide suggested that the Daleks knew the pyramids to be burial structures and so brought with them a [[Dalek duplicate]] of a religious figure, but misjudged the [[time period]].
