Title: The History of the McDonaldian Empire

For archeologist McIntosh ‘Mac’ Appel, the history of the McDonaldian Empire was his great passion. Most of his life had been spent uncovering the ruins of that great classical civilization.

The Empire had some rivals, such as the Sanders Dynasty and the Tribes of Chipotle. But the McDonaldians remained supreme for centuries, if not millennia, leaving behind traces that none could ignore.

The golden M, also known as the double arch, was an iconic symbol. It was everywhere.

Now an old man, Dr. Appel was ready to pass the torch to the next generation.
