The Millennium Items grant their chosen owners the powers of the access to ancient magic to use in [[Shadow GamesGame]], giving them access to ancient magics. The most standard are materializing [[Egyptian Spirit Monster|Duel Monsters]] to commandgranting a wish when being acquired, communicating with spirits (Duel Monster or human), and casting [[Penalty Games Game]]s on the loser of a Shadow game Game that the owner played against. When a Shadow Game starts, using the magic of the items, players would send themselves into an alternate dimension where their duel Duel won't be interrupted, and where cheating is forbidden, punishable by death.

Outside of a game, in addition to their unique abilities, the items' power of the Shadow Games also allow the owners to harness dark magic that they can conveniently call upon for any purpose. The power within the Millennium Items lets their holders perform feats like: erasing memories, putting people to sleep, cloaking himself and others from sight, interfering defend themselves with the powers of other items, remote-viewing, etc. The items also give their owners protection from harm, and from other forms of magic, including other Millennium Items.

==OriginHistory==There are two different3, contradictory accounts that explain how 000 years ago, the Pharaoh, [[Aknamkanon]], sought to protect his land through mystical means, and laid down the command for the seven magical Millennium Items to be forged, based on an ancient spell found in the [[Millennium Spellbook]]. Aknamkanon's brother, [[Aknadin]] was charged with creating the items, but Aknadin refrained from informing his brother that in order to do so, 99 human sacrifices were createdrequired. The village of [[Kul Elna]] became the victim of the Pharaoh's unwitting decree, as Aknadin had them slaughtered, their blood, bone and flesh melted in with the gold that was cast in the mystic rite that formed the items.

===Early manga & first series anime version===In an early chapter of With Aknamkanon possessing the Millennium Puzzle, the manga (Duel 14remaining six items were entrusted to his [[Sacred Guardians]]: The Man From Egypt the Millennium Key to [[Shimon Muran]], the Millennium Eye to Akhenaden himself, and the Millennium Necklace, Rod, Scale, and Ring to the other four priests (Part 2) in Volume 2: The Cards With Teeth)the predecessors of [[Isis]], [[Seto]], [[Karim]], and [[ShadiMahad]] explains that ). Using the '''Millennium Items''' were created by combined power, an army of monsters was summoned which repelled the Pharaoh's magicians invading foes of Ancient Egypt. However, to punish thieves who tried to rob upon discovering the Pharaohs' tombs. Shadi says this is written in dark truth behind the Items''Pert Em Hiru''creation, or ''Coming Forth By Day'' (Akhenamkhanen attempted to atone by offering his soul up to the Egyptian title of ''The Book of The Dead''). The ''Gods as penance, sparing his son, [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (first series anime)Pharaoh Atem|Yu-Gi-Oh! first series animeAtem]]'' also uses this storyfrom any future retribution for his own indirect actions.

===Late manga & second series anime version===The later chapters of When his father died, Atem was given the manga (published as ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World'' Puzzle, and in North America) and time, Shimon relinquished the Millennium Key to [[Dawn Shada]]. The Millennium Rod was given to Seto, who (unknown to everyone) was actually Aknadin's son. Seto became a strong friend of the DuelAtem, though both young men remained unaware that they were cousins. [[Bandit King Bakura]] arc , the sole survivor of the slaughter in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime''Kul Elna]] explain , stole the origin differently, performing a holy [[wikipedia:Retroactive continuity|retconDiaDhank]]from the tomb of Akhenamkhanen. With Egypt under threat from invading armies 3By using it, Bakura could summon the ka,000 years (5or soul,000 sealed in slates in the dub) agotomb of Akhenamkhanen and the demon Diabound, which created by the Pharaoh ''[[Akhenamkhanenka]] '' of the deceased people in Kul Elna ("Aknamkanon" in the anime) sought to protect his land through mystical meansoriginally, and laid down the command for the seven magical a Millennium Items Item was needed to be forgedsummon ''ka'', based on an ancient spell found in the [[Millennium Spellbook]]except your own). Akhenamkhanen's brotherAfter failing to beat Atem, he defeated [[AkhenadenMahad]] ("Aknadin" in and acquired the anime) was charged with creating Millennium Ring. Then, using the itemsMillennium Ring, but Thief King Bakura injected evil thoughts into [[Akhenaden]] refrained from informing 's Millennium Eye to corrupt his mind. Akhenaden wanted his brother that in order son, Seto, to do become the new Pharaoh, sohe helped Bakura defeat the other priests and Atem, 99 human sacrifices were required. The village of [[Kul Elna]] became then he placed the Millennium Items upon the victim of stone slab to summon the Pharaoh's unwitting decree, as Dark God [[AkhenadenZorc Necrophades|Zorc]] had them slaughtered. While Zorc attempted to decimate the planet, their blood, bone Atem used his own name and flesh melted in with the gold that was cast in the mystic rite that formed the items (in the English dub magics of the animeShadow Games, to replace this gory concept within the inhabitants' ''spirits'' were harnessed insteadMillennium Items, to complete sealed Zorc and his own soul within the rite Millennium Puzzle, wiping his memory so that he could not recall it, so that forges the items)binding might never be undone.

With Akhenamkhanen possessing Atem's death, the Millennium Puzzle, the remaining six items were entrusted to was entombed along with him in his high priests crypt in the [[The Sacred Guardians|Sacred Guardians]]: Valley of the Millennium Key to [[Shimon Muran|Siamon]], Kings. In a chamber beneath the Millennium Eye to [[Akhenaden]] himselfvillage of Kul Elna, and a sculpted stone rested - it read "Should the seven Millennium Necklace, Rod, Scale, and Ring to the other 4 priests (the predecessors of [[Isis]], [[Priest Seto]], [[Karim]], and [[Mahad]]). Using the Items' combined powerbe placed upon it, an army of Duel Monsters was summoned which repelled along with the invading foes of Egypt. Howevereighth key, upon discovering the dark truth behind the ItemsPharaoh' creation, [[Akhenamkhanen]] attempted to atone by offering his soul up to the Egyptian Gods as penance, sparing his sons name, [[Pharaoh Atem]] from any future retribution for his own indirect actionsZorc would be free again".

==Historical implications==When his father died, Pharaoh [[Atem]] The magic of the Shadow Games was given unleashed when the Millennium Puzzle, and in time, was solved by [[Shimon Muran|Siamon MuranYugi Muto]] relinquished in the Millennium Key to Shada. The Millennium Rod was given to a young priest named Setopresent day, who (unknown to everyone) was actually Akhenaden's son. Seto became and he embarked on a strong friend series of [[Atem]], though both young men remained unaware adventures that they were cousins. [[Thief King Bakura]], eventually resulted in the sole survivor locations of the slaughter in Millennium Items being revealed, and the three [[Kul ElnaEgyptian God Card]], stole s coming into his possession. Placed on a stone tablet (the holy [[Duel Disk#DiaDhank|DiaDhankTablet of Lost Memories]] from ) that professed to chronicle a battle between the tomb of Akhenamkhanen. By using it, Bakura could summon the ka, or soulPharaoh and Seto, sealed in slates in the tomb of Akhenamkhanen cards and the demon DiaboundPuzzle opened a gateway to Ancient Egypt, through which created by the [[ka]] soul of the deceased people in [[Kul Elna]] (originally, a Millennium Item Pharaoh was needed to summon [[Ka]], except your own)pulled. After failing to beat [[Atem]]Back in his original body, he defeated [[Mahad]] and acquired the Millennium Ring. Thenbut still lacking his memories, using the Millennium RingPharaoh was reunited with his priests, [[Thief King Bakura]] injected evil thoughts into [[and Akhenaden]]'s treachery was revealed as the Spirit of the Millennium Eye to corrupt his mind. [[Akhenaden]] wanted his sonRing, [[Seto]]which had also traveled back in time, to become stole the new Pharaoh, so he helped [[Bakura]] defeat the other priests Items from their owners and [[Atem]], then he placed the Millennium Items upon the stone slab used them to summon the Dark God [[resurrect Zorc Necrophades|Zorc]]. While [[Zorc]] attempted , only to decimate have him be eradicated for eternity at the planet, [[Atem]] used his own name and hands of the magics union of the Shadow Gamesthree Egyptian Gods, within the Millennium Items, sealed [[ZorcThe Creator God of Light, Horakhty (character)|The Creator of Light]] within the Millennium Ring and his own soul in the Millennium Puzzle, wiping his memory so that he could not recall it, so that the binding might never be undone.

With [[Back in the present, following Atem]]'s eventual death, defeat at the Millennium Puzzle was entombed along with him in hands of his crypt vessel, Yugi Muto, in the Valley conclusion of the Kings.
