| - The Adventure Journal of Prof. Archibald Hale, Professor of Archaeology Cambrick University Likes: Late night museum research Studying Egyptian history Ancient myths and legends Dislikes: Camping out Scorpions in my sleeping bag Sand in my drawers August 24, 1924 So excited!! Finally here in Egypt. No more dusty museums and teaching classes for me! Time to find some history! (But where are all the hotels?) On the trail of Amset-Ra, the "Forgotten Pharaoh". Said to have disappeared thousands of years ago. Research indicates his tomb was around here somewhere. And where there are tombs... there are Mummies! August 25, 1924 Locals report sightings of walking mummies in the desert. Even odder - reports of Flying mummies!. Have sketched based on descriptions. Can't be real... can it? August 26, 1924 A Find! Have dug up an ancient sandstone tablet. I'm working on the translation. It will take me couple of days! THE LEGEND OF AMSET-RA As translated by Professor Hale A Quest! And there is a date... if I have calculated correctly, the last sunset this very month! I must stop the Pharaoh - but I'll need help! CAIRO TIMES - August 28. 1924 This fellow sounds promising! I wonder if he has any friends he could bring... August 29, 1924 Have met up with Jake Raines! he is certainly every bit the adventurer the news makes him out to be. Not sure he believes in the prophecy of Amset-Ra's return ("Mummies? Magic? What a bunch of baloney!" were his exact words), but he still seems quite happy to join me on my search. We're currently driving through the Egyptian desert on our way to a site where a pyramid built during Amset-Ra's time may be buried. Hoping that we will find our first clue to location of the six treasures inside! It would also be delightful to discover some mummies, though not the walking (or flying) kind, of course. Ha-ha... A mysterious hallway... A warning of the Pharaoh's curse! Watch out for the booby trap! What's that sound?! A phantom Pharaoh! But where is the real one...?
