History
Pre-Crisis
Earth-S was one of the "infinite Earths," home of the Marvel Family and their allies. During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was temporarily stored in the netherverse created by the Monitor's death, then covered in ice and conquered by an army of super-villains.
The Egyptian prince named Teth-Adam was chosen by Shazam as his successor, and received the powers of six Egyptian Gods namely Shu, Hershef, Amon, Zehuti, Anpu and Menthu. As Black Adam, he became corrupted by power lust and was banished to the farthest star by the wizard. (Captain Marvel Adventures v1 #61)
During the 12th dynasty, an evil pharaoh, deceived by the false priest Mesu, abandoned the worship of Osiris and the benevolent gods, and instead served Set. When Prince Amentep criticized him, he was thrown into prison, receiving from his uncle the Ibistick and becoming Ibis the Invincible. In rebellion against the tyrannical Mesu who came to be known as the Black Pharaoh had Taia, the wife of Ibis, struck by an arrow. Ibis put her and himself in suspended animation. (Whiz Comics v1 #2)
Post-Crisis
After the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Earth-S merged with elements of all the remaining worlds (Earth-1, Earth-2, Earth-4, and Earth-X) to form the new post-Crisis Earth (dubbed "Earth-Sigma" by some). Other Earth-S-derived hypertimelines may also remain throughout hypertime.)

Notes
- Earth-S was created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck where it made its first appearance in Whiz Comics v1 #2 (February, 1940).
- In an interview on Newsarama, editor Dan DiDio commented that characters from the Prime Earth appeared in Earth-5, "Such is the case with Green Lantern of Earth-5, which used to be Earth-S – the Shazam universe. So rather than seeing what we’ve come to think of as the traditional hero of that world, we’re going to see someone who’s new to that world."
