I hope you enjoy my new story its a sequel to the hunt for Atlantis.
They were lost in the middle of the Sahara desert the largest desert in the world and they were a hundred miles from civilization. I told you he was not to be trusted Lara shouted! I know Maxwell said I didn't think he would stab us in the back like this though! That evil conniving dirty little bastard. We might as well get a move on the closest city is a hundred miles east. The sun rose over there that's east let's get going the sun was scorching and the sand was hot it could be a hundred degrees but because of this damn sand it feels like its two hundred. They continued walking they thought about the events that led up to this about how this happened back on the ship leaving Crete. Have you ever heard of a man named Herihor Maxwell asked again? Yes I have Lara replied. He was the man in charge of the valley of kings wasn't he exactly. Maxwell replied. What's the valley of kings Sam asked. The valley of kings is where all of the pharaoh's were being reburied. The king at the to e was named Herihor it is believed that he took treasure from the tombs of the pharohs that he was burying. And that's where a lot of the treasure went missing from the tombs of the other pharaoh's. Where do we start I think the best place to start looking will be the valley of kings we might see some clues in Herihors handy work Lara said. I think the valley of kings would be an ideal place to start Maxwell said. Sam are you sure you don't want to come with us Maxwell asked? I'm really sorry guys she said by its been so long since I've seen my family its not like we're never gonna see each other again. Well we will see you once we found Herihor's tomb alright? Alright Sam said when they got back to land they drove to the airport Sam got a ticket for America and Maxwell and Lara got two tickets for Cairo. Sam and Lara hugged and said their goodbyes Maxwell said bye too. They boarded their planes and went off. They arrived at Cairo a few hours later let's get going to the valley of kings Maxwell said. They called a taxi to take them there. They arrived a little while later. They left giving the tipping the taxi driver and thanking him in Arabic. Let's get going Lara said. They paused for a moment to appreciate the breathtaking view the beauty of the sun against the flat desert that seemed to go on forever was awe inspiring. They then continued there mission as they walked Lara struck up a conversation have you ever been here before she asked? No but I do know men that have been I am guessing you have because you speak Arabic. I speak a few phrases Lara replied. And I was here once before we were here on a college field trip to observe the ruin's. We didn't get to observe them very thoroughly just what we were assigned. That sucks Maxwelly responded. I know Lara replied its a shame to limit some thing this fascinating and this historically significant its near almost sacrilege. Well we're almost here they arrived at the massive structure where should we start Lara said? There is five hundred years of pharohs here. We should start at the tomb of Rameses the second his is the largest tomb and it must be of significance if Herihor would make it the largest. Good idea Maxwell Lara responded. They walked up the stairs into the tomb of Rameses the second. They started reading searching everywhere to try to find a clue of some sort to the tomb of king Herihor. Until eventually Lara cried out look here what is it Maxwell said find something. See this here she said pointing at a symbol it was the symbol of the high priest of Anubis. Our next clue lies at the temple of Anubis. Let's get going then its on the other side of Cairo. They went back to there taxi gave the driver the directions and were off. They got there and Lara said this I not going to be as easy as the valley of kings. They looked around in there trying to find a log or something that would tell them where Herihor's tomb was. Lara come here Maxwell said. Look at this statue of Anubis. Its odd isn't it Lara said. He is holding one of his scepter upside down. Give me a lift up I'll see if its loose. Ok Maxwell replied he out his hands together and hoisted Lara up she found that the scepter was indeed loose she twisted it right side up. Then on the wall to there right a shelf extended out of the wall. Well will you look at that Lara said. It has scrolls on here logging the burial sites and the names of those who were buried. It even includes the traps used to defend the tombs. And here is King Herihor. This is interesting it says here that he isn't buried anywhere special it says he was buried beneath the Valley of Kings. He's been hiding right underneath our noses this whole time we were just at the valley of kings too. Look at this symbol though we shiuld sketch this Maxwell pulled out a notepad and copied it down. Its getting late we will need to just go there tomorrow Lara said. Alright Maxwell replied we need our rest. We should just camp here tonight outside the city is dreadfully loud. They set up camp and slept underneath the stars. They woke up just before sunrise let's get going Lara said. Maxwell yawned and said ok. They arrived back at the valley of kings. And they set search to find a clue anything that would lead them to Herihor's tomb. They looked through the tomb of Rameses the second nothing they peaked into many of the other smaller tombs nothing we aren't finding anything Lara Maxwell said. You are losing hope now when you were the one who suggested this? Lara said. I think you just need to stand back and look at the bigger picture. Maxwell scoffed at first but he did as she suggested. And saw that all the designs of the building put together made the exact same symbol as they saw before. Amazing we should go to the center Lara said. Okay we will need to climb. Lara started she was an excellent climber it was as though she was born to do so she had perfect footing and an excellent grip never slipping. Maxwell was talented also but was near jealousy when he saw how adept Lara was. Are you part monkey he asked sarcastically. No need to be jealous Maxwell. They reached the center of the symbol and observed it look here Lara said it looks as though you clkukd just plush it and the moment she touched the circle in the middle of the symbol it pushed in and at the bottom of the stairs a large crevice opened up revealing another staircase to what was without a doubt the tomb of King Herihor.
