Egyptian Adventure
Publisher: Duckworth Home Computing · Developer: Ray Davies
Relaxing at home one day, reading The Times, you come across an interesting news item: "The body of Professor Harold Johnson, the eminent archaeologist, was found today floating in the Nile close to Heliopolis. Professor Johnson departed on an expedition to find the tomb of Princess Ankhnesnerefibre some three months ago, accompanied only by a local guide. According to a police spokesman, the professor's body was horribly mutilated, and they are anxious to interview the guide. The Princess, High Priestess of Ammon-Ra and daughter of Psammetichus II, was one of the most powerful women in Egypt, but no record of her can be found after the Persian invasion in 525 BC. Many legends tell how she lived in exile wiith her followers, finally being buried in a secret tomb with a fortune in treasure, but nothing is known for sure and the location of her burial place remains a mystery. It is said that, in return for her devotion, the gods undertook to guard her tomb for the rest of time against those who would desecrate it. Such stories are common in Egypt, but it is interesting to note that only two previous expeditions have gone in search of the tomb, one in 1918 and the other in 1937, and both vanished without trace."
