[[File:SennenItems.png|right|thumb|300px|The 7 seven Millennium Items.]]The '''Millennium Items''' are 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 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 (manga)|Ma'at]]" in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' manga]].

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 defend themselves with. The power within the Millennium Items lets their holders perform feats like: putting people to sleep, cloaking himself and others from sight, interfering with other Shadow Games, remote-viewing, etc. The items also give their owners protection from harm, and from other magic. According to Shadi, three of the Millennium Items represented justice (Key, Scale and Necklace), three are weak to evil (Ring, Rod, and Eye), and the seventh, the Millennium Puzzle, represents both evil and justice. This would the explain the increasingly evil natures of the main antagonists (Pegasus, Marik and Bakura) ==Origin===== Manga ===In an early chapter of the manga (Duel 14: The Man From Egypt (Part 2) in Volume 2: The Cards With Teeth), [[Shadi]] gives a vague explanation about why the '''Millennium Items''' were created. According to this story, the relics were created by the Pharaoh's magicians of Ancient Egypt in order to punish thieves who tried to rob the Pharaohs' tombs. Shadi says this is written in the ''Pert Em Hiru'', or ''Coming Forth By Day'' (the Egyptian title of ''The Book of The Dead'').

Later chapters of the manga (published as ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World'' in North America) then give a more detailed lore about their origin. With Egypt under threat from invading armies ==History==3,000 years ago, the Pharaoh , [[AkhenamkhanenAknamkanon]] , 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]]. AkhenamkhanenAknamkanon's brother, [[AkhenadenAknadin]] was charged with creating the items, but [[Akhenaden]] Aknadin refrained from informing his brother that in order to do so, 99 human sacrifices were required. The village of [[Kul Elna]] became the victim of the Pharaoh's unwitting decree, as [[Akhenaden]] 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.

With Akhenamkhanen Aknamkanon possessing the Millennium Puzzle, the remaining six items were entrusted to his high priests the [[The Sacred Guardians|Sacred Guardians]]: the Millennium Key to [[Shimon Muran|Siamon]], the Millennium Eye to [[Akhenaden]] himself, and the Millennium Necklace, Rod, Scale, and Ring to the other four priests (the predecessors of [[Isis]], [[Priest Seto]], [[Karim]], and [[Mahad]]). Using the Items' combined power, an army of Duel Monsters 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.

===Anime version===When his father died, Atem was given the Millennium Puzzle, and in time, Shimon relinquished the Millennium Key to [[Shada]]. The Millennium 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 cousins. [[Yu-Gi-Oh!

By using it, Bakura could summon the manga due to its small coverage ka, or soul, sealed in slates in the tomb of Akhenamkhanen and the seriesdemon Diabound, while which created by the ''[[Millennium Worldka]] arc '' of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! deceased people in Kul Elna (anime)|originally, a Millennium Item was needed to summon ''Yu-Gi-Oh! second series animeka'', except your own). After failing to beat Atem, he defeated [[Mahad]] follows and acquired the detailed version of Millennium Ring. Then, using the mangaMillennium Ring, Thief King Bakura injected evil thoughts into [[Akhenaden]]'s late chapters (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 dub cuts Dark God [[Zorc Necrophades|Zorc]].

==Historical implications==When his father diedWith Atem's death, Pharaoh [[Atem]] was given the Millennium Puzzle, and in time, [[Shimon Muran|Siamon Muran]] relinquished the Millennium Key to Shada. The Millennium Rod was given to a young priest named Seto, who (unknown to everyone) was actually Akhenaden's son.

In a chamber beneath the [[ka]] village of the deceased people in [[Kul Elna]] (originally, a sculpted stone rested - it read "Should the seven Millennium Item was needed to summon [[Ka]], except your own). After failing to beat [[Atem]]Items be placed upon it, he defeated [[Mahad]] and acquired along with the Millennium Ring.
