He hired two guides , [[Ahmet]] and [[Mushara]] to help him locate and navigate the tomb. The tomb was riddled with traps, which Solomon was able to discover. In one such trap, you had to walk with your left foot forward, as a sign of respect to the statues of the Pharaoh. One of the guides Mushara failed to do so, and was attacked by the statues, and fell to his death. In the final room, the other guide also Ahmet fell victim to a trap and was devoured by a monster. Solomon nearly fell victim as well, but was saved by the spirit of [[Pharaoh Atem]]. It was at the end of this room that he discovered the [[Millennium Puzzle]].

[[File:Solomon_and_Alex_BrisbaneSolomon and Alex Brisbane.jpg|thumb|200px|Solomon and [[Alex Brisbane]]]]
Solomon goes with [[Alex Brisbane]] to find the pyramid of [[Alexander the Great]]. However, when they split up, Solomon finds [[Shadi]]'s Capsule Monster game board and accidentally gets sucked into it. During his time there, Solomon found a Summoned Skull and used it as his primary monster. Upon the arrival of Yugi and his friends, Solomon helped them through the five trials to test if the Pharaoh was a true king by translating the messages they received on how to accomplish them. However, he lost Summoned Skull during the trial preliminaries, but soon received Alexander the Great's Curse of Dragon as a replacement monster. After being victorious in the trials, Solomon allowed the good half of Alexander to use him as a vessel to return to the real world. However, Alexander's dark half had possessed Brisbane and trapped everyone in the room where the power to rule the world was held. However, after a final battle to decide which ruler deserved the power, Solomon was returned to the real world once again and fled the pyramid with everyone else when it collapsed after its purpose had been fulfilled. He then talked the pilots of Joey's vacation plane into taking him and Brisbane back to Domino.
