Unknown Location - June 12th 1885
Vladimir Golenishchev had been as surprised as any when his finds started lighting up, he had before seen Lodygin's light bulb, but this was something different all together. Sticking his hand through the archway had been a strange experience, as it had gone straight through, but was not visible from his side, naturally he had decided to investigate and stepped forwards, immediately appearing in a strange dark chamber.
After his eyes had adjusted to the low light, Vladimir began to look around. Curious to see if there were any distinguishing marks, he stepped up to the wall and began looking it over, most of it was empty, except for a single symbol scratched near the bottom, something that he recognised from his dig in Egypt.
"What is this place?" the sudden sound made Vladimir jump slightly, but when he turned around and saw a confused Oscar Lemm, he got back to examining the wall, if he saw correctly it was the Eye of Ra.
"Oscar, come and see this" Vladimir needed the second opinion, Oscar Lemm was a noted figure in Russian Egyptology, the man should be able to tell confirm what he was seeing. The other man took a few seconds to reach Vladimir, he was probably still getting accustomed to the low light, but he soon got close enough to see what Vladimir was staring at.
"It is the Eye of Ra, what on earth is going on here?" Oscar stood entranced as Vladimir took a step back and looked the room over once again. It was really a rather barren place, aside from the archway, which by now had curiously stopped glowing, and a doorway off to one side, there was nothing to be seen.
"Come on Oscar, let's see if we can't figure out what's going on"
"How are we going to do that?" Oscar almost whined, getting up and standing beside Vladimir, "More importantly, how are we going to get out of here?"
"There's a doorway over there, let's try that" Vladimir was content to simply explore this place, it hadn't really sunk in that they had been magically transported to some unknown realm, "Anyway, we can't leave just yet, if that was the Eye of Ra there's bound to be more artifacts lying around somewhere, we can't let those treasures go to waste now can we?"
Oscar perked up at that thought and looked at Vladimir, "Split them fifty-fifty?"
"My friend, you've got yourself a deal, let's get out of here" the two men then walked slowly down the length of the room and through the doorway, which led to a short hall. "If you see anything of interest just say so and we can stop to check it out" like the chamber, the hallway was bare of life, although there was light visible at the end, that was all there was to see.
Finally they reached yet another room, this one being line with pillars and light enough to see properly, the pair made short work of examining the columns, they were as blank as everything else in this place. At the end of the room was another doorway, this one leading out to a pair of obelisks and an endless stretch of sand.
"Have you found anything?" Oscar asked as they reached the exit, Vladimir shook his head and the two began walking forwards, all that was visible in front of them was sand, sand and more sand, but turning around made it obvious that they had just left a temple of sorts, similar to those at Giza and the rest of Egypt.
"Now what do we do?"
