Author's Notes: Okay, just on thing after rereading this chapter, I realized NO one in their right mind would EVER walk backwards in a tomb or on a dig. (That's just asking for trouble.)

"Dr. Jackson, sir, it's a honor to meet you. I've read all your work on the 'Alien Theory". I'm Dr. Angosto Reglon. I'm in charge of this dig." Ant said shaking Daniel's hand.
"Hello…."
"Ant, you can call me Ant. Everyone does."
He replied.
"Hello, Ant." Daniel said falling into step beside him.
"Dr. Jackson, this way please." Agent Dodge said from in front of them.
As he walked into the tomb, a sense of dread filled Daniel. He looked around. He knew what was in this tomb. What they had found. He hoped that those working on the dig and funding it had no clue what they had found. They were all in trouble, big trouble.
"Dr. Jackson, as you can see, the pictures are those of the Egyptian Gods." Ant said walking backwards so he could see Daniel, "But here, in the second room, they change. They show two of the Gods fighting…"
"Ra and Aphophis." Daniel said looking the room over.
"Excuse me? " Ant said in surprise of the interruption.
"It's a battle between Ra the sun god and Aphopis the god of night."
"Who is this Dr.'s?"
Agent Ford asked pointing at a picture situated in the doorway.
"Hator" Daniel answered.
"Dr. Jackson, this is what we want you to look at." Agent Dodge said standing in front of an alcove.
In the center of the Alcove was a stone crib. On the floor and walls around it were writings from the Book of the Dead. The stone cover had been removed and leaned against the wall outside the alcove.
"We tried to decipher the writing on the stone, but…" Ant said walking toward it.
"Here lies Thoth, god of wisdom and writing. Struck down by Ra. May he live forever in the minds and quills of the people." Daniel read out loud.
Daniel walked over to the crib and looked in it. Inside lay a gold sarcophagus. He could see layer, upon layer of dust in the cracks and around it. It had not opened anytime lately, nor was it likely to. Daniel knew what he must do. Turning he walked out of the tomb. Ford, Dodge, and Ant followed him confused. Daniel stared up at the sky for a moment. Sighing he turned to the three puzzled men.
"Do you have a secure phone line here?" He asked.
"We have a secure satellite phone. It's in my tent." And replied looking confused.
They all began the trek to the tents. Ant usurer them into one of the tents and handed Daniel the phone.
"Dr. Jackson, who are you calling?" Agent Dodge asked.
