The Phantom Pharaoh — Michael Teitelbaum

The ancient ruin had been moved, stone by stone, from ancient Egypt to the huge, famous museum that Sam's class was visiting. Still, Sam couldn't help himself. He had to touch the stone wall with the weird symbols on it -- even though it gave off a strange heat that almost burned his hand. Where did the eerie energy come from, and what did the symbols mean?
