[[File:SennenItems.png|right|thumb|300px|The seven Millennium Items]]The '''Millennium Items''' are the seven treasures in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime]]. They were created from an ancient spell found in the [[Millennium Spellbook]] in order to keep the ancient magic of the [[Shadow Game]]s locked up forever. [[The Millennium Stone ]] in the village of [[Kul Elna]] is the origin and resting place of the seven items, and also where [[Akhenaden]] sacrificed ninety-nine souls humans in order to create them. The Millennium Items are also mentioned in the description of "[[Sengenjin]]" as well as being wielded by "[[Ma'at]]" in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' manga]].

Aknamkanon's brother, [[Aknadin]] was charged with creating the powers items, but Aknadin refrained from informing his brother that in order to do so, 99 human sacrifices were required. The village of other Millennium Items[[Kul Elna]] became the victim of the Pharaoh's unwitting decree, as Aknadin had them slaughtered, sensing mystical energiestheir blood, bone and many moreflesh melted in with the gold that was cast in the mystic rite that formed the items.

==Origin==There are two differentWith Aknamkanon possessing the Millennium Puzzle, the remaining six items were entrusted to his [[Sacred Guardians]]: the Millennium Key to [[Shimon Muran]], contradictory accounts that explain how the Millennium Eye to Akhenaden himself, and the Millennium Necklace, Rod, Scale, and Ring to the other four priests (the predecessors of [[Isis]], [[Seto]], [[Karim]], and [[Mahad]]). Using the Items were created' combined power, an army of monsters was summoned which repelled the invading foes of Egypt. However, upon discovering the dark truth behind the Items' creation, Akhenamkhanen attempted to atone by offering his soul up to the Egyptian Gods as penance, sparing his son, [[Pharaoh Atem|Atem]] from any future retribution for his own indirect actions.

===Early manga & first series anime version===In an early chapter of When his father died, Atem was given the manga (Duel 14: The Man From Egypt (Part 2) Millennium Puzzle, and in Volume 2: The Cards With Teeth)time, Shimon relinquished the Millennium Key to [[ShadiShada]] explains that the '''. The Millennium Items''Rod was given to Seto, who (unknown to everyone) was actually Aknadin' s son. Seto became a strong friend of Atem, though both young men remained unaware that they were created by cousins. [[Bandit King Bakura]], the Pharaoh's magicians sole survivor of Ancient Egyptthe slaughter in [[Kul Elna]], to punish thieves who tried to rob stole the holy [[DiaDhank]] from the Pharaohs' tombstomb of Akhenamkhanen. Shadi says this is written By using it, Bakura could summon the ka, or soul, sealed in slates in the ''Pert Em Hiru''tomb of Akhenamkhanen and the demon Diabound, or which created by the ''Coming Forth By Day[[ka]]'' of the deceased people in Kul Elna (the Egyptian title of originally, a Millennium Item was needed to summon ''The Book of The Deadka'', except your own). The 'After failing to beat Atem, he defeated [[Mahad]] and acquired the Millennium Ring. Then, using the Millennium Ring, Thief King Bakura injected evil thoughts into [[Akhenaden]]'s Millennium Eye to corrupt his mind. Akhenaden wanted his son, Seto, to become the new Pharaoh, so he helped Bakura defeat the other priests and Atem, then he placed the Millennium Items upon the stone slab to summon the Dark God [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (first series anime)Zorc Necrophades|Yu-Gi-Oh! first series animeZorc]]'' also uses this story. While Zorc attempted to decimate the planet, Atem used his own name and the magics of the Shadow Games, within the Millennium Items, sealed Zorc and his own soul within the Millennium Puzzle, wiping his memory so that he could not recall it, so that the binding might never be undone.

===Late manga & second series anime version===The later chapters of With Atem's death, the manga (published as ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World'' Puzzle was entombed along with him in his crypt in North America) and the [[Dawn Valley of the Duel]] arc Kings. In a chamber beneath the village of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime'']] explain the origin differentlyKul Elna, performing a [[wikipedia:Retroactive continuity|retcon]]. With Egypt under threat from invading armies 3,000 years (5,000 in the dub) ago, the Pharaoh [[Akhenamkhanen]] (sculpted stone rested - it read "Aknamkanon" in the anime) sought to protect his land through mystical means, and laid down the command for Should the seven magical Millennium Items to be forged, based on an ancient spell found in the [[Millennium Spellbook]].

The village of [[Kul Elna]] became the victim of the Pharaoh's unwitting decreename, as [[Akhenaden]] had them slaughtered, their blood, bone and flesh melted in with the gold that was cast in the mystic rite that formed the items (in the English dub of the anime, to replace this gory concept the inhabitants' ''spirits'' were harnessed instead, to complete the rite that forges the items)Zorc would be free again".

With Akhenamkhanen possessing The magic of the Shadow Games was unleashed when the Millennium Puzzle, the remaining six items were entrusted to his high priests the was solved by [[The Sacred Guardians|Sacred GuardiansYugi Muto]]: in the present day, and he embarked on a series of adventures that eventually resulted in the locations of the Millennium Key to Items being revealed, and the three [[Shimon Muran|SiamonEgyptian God Card]], s coming into his possession.
