chapter ten
the valley of death.
it was just after five o'clock when farrow told de fries to stop the lorry. they were at the entrance to a narrow valley. e're here now. - said farrow. 'the queen's tomb is in this valley. how do you know? keesing asked. farrow pointed up at the mountain top to the east.
that looks like a snake doesn't it? - he asked. keesing and de fries looked up. the top of the mountain was about three hundred metres long. it ended with a great rock rising high in the sky. the
mountain top looked like a snake with its head raised. and that's a sitting man. - farrow continued pointing to the mountain top to the west. keesing and de fries looked upwards towards the setting sun. in the middle of the mountain top there was a large rock. it looked like a man's head. below the rock, a gully ran down the mountain side to the bottom of the valley. the mountain had the
shape of a sitting man. a snake with raised head and a sitting man
guard the tomb of queen axtarte. - said farrow. those words are written on the pillar from the temple of karnak. and where's the tomb? said keesing turning to farrow. farrow pointed to the gully that ran up the mountainside. somewhere between the legs of the sitting man. - he told keesing. that's all i know. you'll have to go and look for it. they climbed back into the lorry and de fries drove down the valley to the bottom of the gully. you know that it can take a long time to get inside a tomb. said farrow. - why is that? ' asked keesing. the ancient egyptians always made secret
entrances to the tombs replied farrow. and they sealed the entrance with huge rocks. they wanted to keep out tomb robbers. it could take you years to get inside. we've got a box of dynamite in the back of the lorry. keesing told farrow. when we find the
entrance it won't take us long tour way in. what about the queen's curse? aren't you afraid of that? asked farrow. 'that was written a long time ago,' replied keesing. the queen wanted to frighten tomb robbers. it doesn't mean anything today. you could be wrong, you know,' said farrow. i'm going to get as far away from you as i can.​
