Dr Hafez
a A well-known archaeologist;
He was an old friend of Leila's family. He was doing excavation high up in the Andes
mountains . He used to tell Leila about the work and showed her family pictures of things he
had found . So, Leila decided to follow his footsteps .
His work in Luxor in the valley of the Nobles :
Leila and Dr Hafez worked together at the valley of the Nobles They discovered a tomb,
which had wonderful paintings birds and animals.
c) His work in Peru :
He tried to discover the similarities and differences between the ways the Incas and the
Ancient Egyptians buried their dead .
His wise policy ;
When Leila told him about Amalia's unfriendly feelings towards her, he advised her to make
friends with Amalia as they were of the same age and they were both archaeologists . He
trusted Amalia and couldn't believe that Amalia would do anything wrong . He brought Leila
to Peru and made her in charge of a team because she was an experienced archaeologist and
her previous experience would be useful there .
His intelligence:
He played a trick on Pablo to make him confess the truth when he told him the police had
caught Lander.
Amalia Guzman
She was one of the local archaeologists working on Dr Hafez's excavation . She was a good
hard working member of the excavation Amalia didn't seem to be friendly to Leila . She felt
jealous of her. She thought Dr Hafez brought Leila to Peru just because he was a family friend
. Amalia was working under the supervision of Leila .
A wicked deed :
Amalia plotted against Leila out of jealousy. She put a gold rabbit among Leila's work clothes
to be suspected by the police. However, she went to the police and cleared Leila . She
justified her wicked deed saying :
1-Leila was in charge of the excavating team and she wanted to be in charge.
2-Leila discovered the gold mask and she would get all the credit.
once more:
They became true friends as they arranged to catch Martin .On their way to Acomayo, their
car crashed and they had an accident. Amalia was badly injured yet, she had the toughness of
an ancient Inca.
Dr Hafez's reward :
Dr Hafez rewarded la^ Amalia by sending her a new Inca site on the road to Acomayo to
lead the team excavating the new site .
Martin Lander
His identity :
He was African . He was the man sitting beside Leila on the plane to Peru. He told Leila that
he was a mining engineer. He said he was going to Peru to look for places where there were
other interesting things to find rather than copper silver. He worked all over Peru. He was
based in the U.S.A., but he spent a few months every year in Peru . He had an American
passport , but he was born in south Africa .
Athief:
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
He turned to be one of the thieves who found gold and silver things and took them out of the
country . He helped people to steal things from excavations .
He was one of the people working on the excavation project, He was a small man . That's why
Dr Hafez let him slip through a hole in the wall. He discovered a gold figure of the child .It
meant that the Incas sacrificed their children to please their gods .
Pablo Alvarez
Samira
She is Leila's sister. She is a reporter on one of the Cairo newspapers . She is always looking
for good articles for her paper. She is so funny that you forget you are nervous or
worried with her. She is wonderful and so full of enthusiasm Unlike Leila , she never worries
about anything .
Chapter 1 To the land of the Incas
I woke up this morning and I didn't know where I was. I lay on my bed for
a moment, thinking. After a few seconds, I remembered. Yes, I was back
home in Cairo with my parents and my sister, Samira. Outside I could
hear the familiar sounds of our neighbourhood -children playing in the
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
street, the call of the man selling melons, the distant roar of traffic. I could
hear Samira doing something in the kitchen. She was probably making
coffee, l sighed. I wasn't in Peru any more. I was home. I looked around the
room. On the table beside my bed there was a photo. I picked it up. It was a
picture of me. I was looking at the camera and holding up a little gold
figure of an animal.
I lay back on the bed and looked at the photo again. I remembered that day
so well. That was a good day. Everything was going so well. Dr Hafez, the
leader of our excavation, was really excited.
Yes, that was a good day. But some of the days after that were not so good.
When I remembered them, I felt a shiver down my back. I closed my eyes.
Quickly I opened them again. Calm down, I told myself. It's all over now.
You're safe here in Cairo ...
Two months can seem a long time. Two months ago I was setting
off on the biggest adventure of my life. I was in our car with Samira. She
was taking me to the airport. As usual, the airport road was crowded.
Luckily we had set off early. We had plenty of time to reach the airport.
And Samira never stops talking. I listened to her and I wasn't worried
about the traffic jams. And I forgot how nervous I was about flying.
"You must be so excited to be going to Peru," Samira said.
"Yes, of course I'm excited," I said. "I've never been to South
America before. But to tell you the truth, I haven't really had
time to be excited. I spent most of last night packing my
luggage. Oh, I hope I haven't forgotten anything." "Don't worry,"
Samira said. "Everyone always forgets something. The last time I went
away, I forgot half my things. I couldn't understand why my luggage wasn't
heavier!"
laughed. Samira was so funny. You quickly forget you are nervous or
worried when you are with her. I'm her sister but I'm not at all like her. I
worry about everything.
"You must tell Dr. Hafez to take good care of you. I don't want you
falling off a mountain in the Andes," Samira went on. "His excavation
work is high up in the mountains, isn't it?"
"Yes," I said. "It's at about two and a half thousand metres. The Incas
lived at high altitudes. Machu Picchu is at three thousand metres and
Cuzco, their capital, is even higher. They were really tough, those Incas.
"It's amazing what they did. Did you know, they didn't have any
writing. And yet they controlled a huge empire!"
"But Dr Hafez is looking for a king's tomb, isn't he? You told me that."
"Yes, one of the Chimu kings. The Incas conquered the Chimu, who were
famous for their gold and silver work. Most Inca gold work was actually
made by the Chimu people. If we discover a king's tomb, it would be
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
wonderful to find some of their work. Only kings and nobles had
things made of gold."
"How exciting," Samira said.
I am also taking Dr Hafez a small machine and details of a new technique
developed by the department of archaeology here in Cairo, I went on.
"'Researchers there have found new ways of discovering how old things
made of wood or cloth are. We're hoping to use it in our excavations
in Peru."
"Is that carbon-dating?"
"No, it uses a small laser to date things. It's the latest technology and
all very new - "
"And secret?"
I paused and thought for a moment. "Well, yes and no. Not many people
know about it, so, yes, it is sort of secret. And we want to be the first to use
it."
"SECRETS OF AN INCA TOMB. That would be a good title for an article
about your excavation, wouldn't it?"
I laughed. Samira is a reporter on one of the Cairo newspapers. She is
always looking for good articles for her paper.
"You must get lots of interesting stories," Samira went on. "You know -
EGYPTIAN ARCHAEOLOGIST FINDS INCA TREASURE - that sort of
thing. I can see the headlines now!"
I laughed again. Samira is wonderful, so full of enthusiasm.
The car behind us honked its horn. I looked up. The traffic lights had
turned to green. Samira looked in her mirror and drove off quickly. Soon
we were at the airport. I checked in for my flight. Samira hugged me and
kissed me on the cheek. She started to cry a little.
"You're going so far away," she sobbed.
"It's all right, Samira. I'm only going for a few weeks."
"I'll miss you, big sister," she said through her tears.
" I'll miss you too. I'm not very good at keeping in touch when I'm working.
But I'll send you a postcard - or maybe an e-mail!"

There isn't a direct flight to Lima, the capital of Peru, from Cairo. I had to
fly to New York and then change planes. It was a long flight and I read a
book at first, then I fell asleep. By the time we got to New York it was still
day time - New York is seven hours behind Cairo time. My connecting
flight was not until very early the next day. I stayed at a hotel at the airport.
Everything was so different from Cairo.
The next morning I boarded the plane to Lima at just after 6 a.m. I had
asked for a window seat. I was very nervous but I was curious at the same
time. As the plane took off from New York, I looked down on the city's
skyscrapers. The tall buildings shone in the early morning sunlight.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" the man sitting beside me said.
"Yes, it's amazing," I said.
"Was this your first visit to America?" he asked.
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
'"Well, 1 only changed planes in New York. I arrived last night. So it can
hardly be called a visit. But, yes, it is."
I turned to look at him. I saw a man in his mid-thirties with fair hair and a
sun-tanned face. He was wearing a blue shirt and his sleeves were rolled
up. He didn't look like a businessman, but he didn't look like a tourist
either. I wondered what kind of work he did. It was difficult to say. He
looked as if he worked outdoors a lot.
"Are you going to Peru for a holiday?" he asked. "No, not really. It's a
business trip," I said. "Me too," he said. "I'm a mining engineer."
I had read a lot about Peru in the past few weeks and knew about Peru's
copper and silver mines.
"And what kind of mining are you doing in Peru?" I asked.
"Copper, silver?"
He smiled. "Oh, there are plenty of copper mines and silver mines
already in Peru," he replied. "I'm looking for places where there are
other interesting things to find."
I wondered what he meant by that. Perhaps he didn't want to say anything
definite about his work, but I was interested all the same. After all, mining
and archaeology have some things in common,
He had a strange accent. I thought he might be German. He wasn't
American, I was sure of that.
"Does your work take you all over Peru?" I asked him.
"That's right, I work all over the country. I'm based in the United States,
but 1 spend a few months every year in Peru."
"Are you American?"
"Well, I have an American passport," he said. "But I was born in South
Africa. How about you? You said you were going to Peru on business. Can 1
ask what kind of business?"
So I told him about the archaeological dig and that it was part of a
UNESCO exchange programme. When he heard I was an archaeologist, he
seemed quite interested in my work.
"Does this UNESCO programme mean Peruvian archaeologists are
working in Egypt?"
"Yes," I said. "It's an interesting idea, because there are some
similarities between the Ancient Egyptians and the ancient
peoples of South America."
"So you are from Egypt?"
"Yes. I am a research assistant at Cairo University."
"What made you take up archaeology?"
"Well, Dr Hafez, who is an old family friend, is a well-known archaeologist.
He was at school with my father. When I was young, I used to love
listening to Dr Hafez. He used to tell us about the work he was doing.
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
Sometimes he would show us pictures of things he had found. Things that
were thousands of years old. It was so exciting, I decided I wanted to follow
in his footsteps."
"Did you study with him in Cairo?"
"No, I didn't think that would be a very good idea. People might
think he was giving me special treatment. He wouldn't do that, but you
know the way some people talk. In fact, I did my degree in Rome, at the
Italian Institute of Archaeology."
"Where did Dr Hafez work? Was it in Luxor?" "Yes, that's right," I replied.
"Was it in the Valley of the Kings?" the man asked.
"No, it was in the Valley of the Nobles," I replied. "We worked there
together. It was my first dig. We discovered a tomb which had
wonderful paintings of birds and animals on the walls. The colours were as
bright as if they had been painted yesterday They were amazing. And there
was some beautiful jewellery."
"Are you hoping to find tombs like that in Peru?" he asked.
I decided I didn't want to tell this man too much more. He spoke easily and
confidently. But he was asking a lot of questions. Maybe that is normal on
a plane, but I wasn't very comfortable. Luckily, the flight attendant came at
that moment with drinks and food. After that, I opened my briefcase and
got out some papers I was bringing from Cairo for Dr Hafez. I started to
read them. They were quite interesting, all about the latest developments
in archaeological research. When I had finished, I folded the papers up and
put them in the pocket in the seat in front of me.
After lunch they showed a movie, but I didn't watch it. I must have slept
through it. The cabin was still dark when I woke up. I stretched and turned
around in my seat. I half opened my eyes. I saw the man looking through
the pocket in the seat in front of me. I watched him for a few moments. He
seemed to be looking for something. I yawned and pretended to wake up.
"Sorry," he said. "Did I wake you? I was just looking for the in-
flight magazine. I couldn't find mine."
"Here, have mine," I said. He took the magazine and began to read it and I
closed my eyes. But I didn't sleep this time.
We didn't talk again until we were just coming in to land in Lima. I looked
out of the window. I was keen to get my first sight of Lima. But there was
thick cloud over the city.
"There's nearly always this thick cloud over Lima," the man said.
"Disappointing, isn't it?"
"Yes," I replied, "But I'm not staying in Lima. Dr Hafez is meeting me at
the airport and we're taking a flight to Cuzco."
"I see. So you'll be working in Cuzco?"
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
"Yes, in the Cuzco area," I replied. I didn't want to tell him exactly where
Dr Hafez's excavations were taking place.
His eyes lit up. "In that case, I might see you again," he said. "I'm going to
be working around Cuzco myself. By the way, my name's Martin Lander."
I nodded, but I didn't say anything. The plane was coming in to land now.
I'm nervous when the plane takes off, but I'm even more nervous when it
lands. I don't know why. It's silly really. When I see the ground coming up
to meet the plane, I just feel sick. I gripped the arms of my seat with my
hands, I must remember not to ask for a window seat the next time I fly.
This time the pilot made a perfect landing. There was hardly a
bump. Still, I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard the announcement.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We have now landed at Lima
International Airport. The local time is 15.30 hours ..."
There was a line of people at Immigration, and I seemed to have to wait a
long time. I was aware that Martin Lander was just behind me, but I
pretended not to see him. You don't talk to people after you get off a plane.
When you are on the plane you are friends, but as soon as you get off, you
become strangers again. It's curious really.
I finally collected my luggage and went through Customs. They wanted to
look at everything in my luggage, especially the laser machine. But I
explained that I was part of a UNESCO archaeological project. I showed
them some papers and then they let me through. I went into the terminal
building. There was a big crowd of people waiting. But soon I heard a voice
calling out my name.
"Leila! Leila! Over here."
It was Dr Hafez. I smiled and waved hack. He was very pleased to see me.
"It's wonderful to see you, Leila," he said. "How are you? How was your
flight? How is your father? And Samira?"
So many questions! And I was tired. Tired, but excited to have arrived.
"Everyone in Cairo is fine, Dr Hafez. They all send their greetings. And the
flight was okay, but it was so long. It's the longest time I've ever been in the
air."
"Did you bring the laser?" Dr Hafez asked.
"Yes, of course. They asked me about it in Customs - "
Dr Hafez was staring at someone behind me. Somehow I knew it was
Martin Lander even before I turned. I didn't know what to do. I decided to
introduce them. "Oh, Dr Hafez, this Js Mr. Lander," I said. "I met him on
the plane."
Dr Hafez looked puzzled. "Haven't we met before somewhere?" he
asked. "In the Machu Picchu area, wasn't it? You were doing some
archaeological work there."
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
Lander laughed. "No, I'm afraid that wasn't me. I'm a mining engineer, not
an archaeologist. I'm sure I would have remembered meeting you. But it's
a pleasure to meet you now. Your assistant has been telling me about your
work in Egypt."
Dr Hafez's eyes lit up. "Ah yes, the Valley of the Nobles excavations!" he
exclaimed. "Wonderful tombs - "
"Dr Hafez, I think we need to go. The plane to Cuzco leaves very soon,
doesn't it?"
"Does it? Oh yes, I think you're right. Is that the time? Oh dear. We'd
better hurry. Nice to meet you, Mr. Mander."
Martin Lander didn't correct him. "I hope we meet again in Peru," he said.

Chapter 5 A meeting in Quenco
When I finished my e-mail to Samira that afternoon, I thought about what
I'd written. I could hardly believe it. Dr Hafez had thought there was a
royal tomb in the city. Now it seemed he was right. I couldn't wait to
explore the tomb. But I was also worried. I was upset that Amalia was so
unfriendly to me. I went to find Dr Hafez. He was sitting in front of his lap-
top computer. I wondered if he was e-mailing someone too. "Are you busy,
Dr Hafez?" I asked. "Hello, Leila. No, I'm having problems with my
computer. I'll have to go into our office in Quenco and see if they can help.
Would you like to come with me?"
I was disappointed. "Aren't we going to explore the tomb?" I asked.
Dr Hafez laughed. "Of course we are. We'll start the day after tomorrow.
But I need to get my computer fixed as quickly as possible. I also need to
see the UNESCO people before they come to inspect us. There are always a
lot of things to do."
"I know," I said. "Dr Hafez, there is one thing I wanted to ask your
advice about."
"What's that?" "Amalia. She isn't very friendly towards me."
He looked at me. "Why? What's the matter, Leila? Don't you like Amalia?"
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
"I don't think she likes me much."
"Don't be silly, Leila. You two are about the same age. You're both
archaeologists. You should be friends."
"I know. You're right. Maybe it's because I'm your assistant. Or maybe it's
because she's in my team. There was no one in charge until I arrived."
"You'll get along better when you start working with her properly.
She's a good archaeologist. She knows a lot about these tombs.
She's done a lot of good work on this excavation. Anyway, you haven't
answered my question."
"What question?" "Are you going to come with me to Quenco tomorrow?
You can take a look around the town while I'm busy. There are some
interesting Spanish-style houses and squares in the old part of town."
So next morning we set off down the dusty track to Quenco. Amalia drove.
Dr Hafez has never liked driving, especially, he says, in a foreign country.
Most of the town was new with the usual shops and restaurants. Dr Hafez
went to the project office, but I decided to wander off into the old part of
the town. He told me where the most interesting churches and squares
were. I walked down quiet little streets. It was a warm day. Women
dressed in colourful hats and dresses sat in the sunshine. Children ran
after me, laughing and clapping their hands. These people are the Incas of
today, I thought. Their ancestors ruled a great empire. How strange that I
should be exploring the tomb of one of their kings.
It was hot now and I was feeling a little tired. I still had a bit of a headache.
Perhaps it was a combination of jet-lag and the effects of the altitude. I
needed to sit down and have a cool drink. Maybe there was a cafe nearby.
Dr Hafez and I had agreed to meet at twelve o'clock at the Hotel Grande. I
looked at my watch. It was half-past eleven. I had time for a drink if I could
find a cafe.
I came to a bigger street. It opened out onto a big square. A sign on the
wall said PLAZA MAYOR. There must be a cafe in the square, I thought.
There it was. Cafe de la Plaza, the sign said. There were some people sitting
outside drinking coffee in the sunshine. But I was hot and I wanted a table
out of the sun. I looked at the tables in the shade. There was someone I
knew sitting at one of the tables. It was Amalia. I hesitated, then I thought
of what Dr Hafez had said about making friends with her. He was right. It
was silly for us not to know each other better. I decided to go and talk to
her. But then I saw something that made me stop dead.
There was someone sitting at Amalia's table. It was a man, and his face was
in the shadow. He seemed to have fair hair and he was wearing a shirt with
the sleeves rolled up. Was it the man I had met on the plane? If it was, I
didn't want them to see me. If it was Lander, what was he doing there? I
saw Amalia shaking her head. She seemed upset about something.
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
As I stood in a doorway watching them, I noticed Pablo cross the square
and go in the direction of the UNESCO office. Then the clock in a church
tower started to strike the hour. I looked at my watch. Twelve noon. I was
going to be late for my meeting with Dr Hafez. Was I being suspicious for
nothing? Was I feeling suspicious because I knew that Amalia didn't like
me? I decided to tell Dr Hafez about seeing Amalia and the man together.
I found my way to the Hotel Grande. Dr Hafez was waiting outside. "Ah,
there you are," he said. "I was wondering what had happened." "Dr Hafez.
Quick! Come with me. I have to show you something." I led him back
through the side streets to the square.
"Look," I said, and pointed to the table where Amalia and the man had
been sitting. But two other people were sitting at the table now.
"What is it?" Dr Hafez asked.
"Amalia Guzman and the man from the mining company - "
"Mander?"
"Martin Lander. I think that they were sitting at that table. They were
talking. You remember what you told me about Lander? You thought he
helped people to steal things from excavations."
"I did. You're right. But are you sure it was the same man? If it was Lander,
it would be a bit strange, I agree. But I can't believe Amalia would do
anything wrong. I trust her."
"All right, Doctor Hafez," I said. I didn't know what to think. I was Still
feeling a little strange from the thin air at such high altitude.
"I don't think you should be so suspicious, Leila. You do worry,
don't you? Not like your sister, Samira. She never worries about anything.
You should be a bit more like her. Anyway, it's time for lunch. I know a
little restaurant. Good family cooking. We'll go there."
At lunch, Dr Hafez spoke again. "Look, I know you don't like Amalia very
much. And maybe she doesn't like you, because you're my assistant or
because you're in charge of her team. I'll have a word with her about
that. But you really must try to work with her. She works hard and she's a
good member of this excavation."
We finished our lunch and Dr Hafez paid the bill.
"I've got my computer fixed and seen the UNESCO people," Dr Hafez said.
"Let's get back to the camp. We're going into the tomb tomorrow."
But I was still worried. When I got back to the camp, I got out my lap-top
and logged on to the internet. I called up the United Mining website. It
gave a list of places where they were mining or making preparations for
mining. I checked through the list of countries and found "Peru". This is
what came up:
PERU: United Mining operations in Peru ended in 1999. There are no
plans to survey or mine in Peru at the present time.
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
I looked at the screen. I was right. Martin Lander was lying when he said
that he was working for United Mining in Peru. So if it was Lander, what
was he doing here?

Chapter 7 Trapped
At first, I couldn't see what he was doing. But my eyes got used to the light.
I saw that he was bending over the floor of the cave near where we had
found the skeleton of the king. He was using a trowel to scrape the earth
away from something on the ground.
I was angry that someone was in the tomb at night. My anger made me
forget my fear. I began to climb down the ladder into the cave very
carefully and very quietly. I reached the bottom of the ladder. My heart
was racing. I wasn't sure what to do next. I suddenly realised that I
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
probably couldn't climb up the ladder as quietly as I had climbed down. I
was now terribly afraid. Why had I come into the cave instead of calling for
help? I had to hide. The man was a little distance away. He was still busy
and he hadn't heard or seen me. I hid behind a big rock. Then the man
stopped what he was doing. He stood up. Perhaps he suddenly sensed that
he was not alone. He pointed his flashlight in different directions.
Fortunately I was well hidden. He turned and came in my direction. My
heart was beating fast. I thought he would find me. He stopped. There was
silence for a moment. But the man seemed to be in a hurry. He turned
again and went back to work. I heard the scrape of a trowel. I waited for a
minute or so, then looked round the rock. The man had his back turned to
me.
I couldn't see what he was doing from my hiding-place. I wanted to move a
little closer. I was just starting to move out from behind the rock when he
turned round again and this time he saw me.
It was Martin Lander. "What are you doing here?" he asked in a hard voice.
At first I couldn't speak. I was shaking with fear,
1 didn't say, "And what are you doing here?" Instead I said, "I saw a light. I
thought there was someone in the cave. I came to see what was
happening." "So we meet again, Miss El-Assaby."
I didn't know what to say at first. At last I was able to speak.
"So you're not a mining engineer," I said. "You're just here to steal
things that other people have found. You're a thief."
Lander smiled. "You're partly right. I was a mining engineer. But I became
more interested in other things. You can call me a thief if you like. But I'm
more of a collector, in fact. I appreciate fine things. I will be happy
to add them to my collection.""You can't. It's wrong," I said. "You're
stealing. This is an important excavation, important for Peru and for the
world. Everything we find here should go to a museum so that people can
see it."
"You may be right," he replied. "But I'm sure you will find plenty more
things. You're not going to miss a few little artefacts, however valuable.
I am very sorry not to find a gold mask. They are extremely
rare and very valuable. I'm sure there is one here.
Anyway, Miss El-Assaby, 1 cannot waste time talking to you. You have
disturbed my work, but no matter. I must go now. You, of course, will stay
here. Do not try to follow me. I hope you will spend a pleasant night in the
company of a great king. And now, goodbye."
He turned and quickly climbed the ladder. In a minute he had pulled the
ladder up behind him, closed the wooden door and was gone. I knew that
there was nothing I could do. I didn't try to follow him. I didn't try to cry
out. No one would hear me. I was so shaken that I fell to the ground and
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
lay there for some time. I heard the distant sound of a car engine starting
and a car drive away.
I was in complete darkness. It was not a nice feeling. There was no light
and no sound. And it was cold. Time passed. I was very tired And then I
saw a skeleton dressed in a king's clothes coming towards me. The skeleton
was being carried on a. litter by four men. They looked like soldiers.
Behind this skeleton was another and behind that another. The skeletons
came closer and closer. I was surrounded on all sides by skeletons of dead
kings. They pointed at me and the soldiers raised their swords and were
about to attack me. Suddenly I woke up screaming "No! No!" .
After that I couldn't get back to sleep. I felt the cold more and more. The
night seemed endless. How long would it be before someone came to the
cave and found me? I heard a noise. It came from high above me. Someone
was opening the wooden door to the cave. "I'm down here," I called.
"Leila, are you all right? What happened?" It was Dr Hafez's voice.
The ladder came down and Dr Hafez and Ramon climbed down into the
cave. "Oh, Dr Hafez," I said. "I'm so glad you are here." And I told him
what had happened. "So it was Lander, was it?" Dr Hafez said. "But how
did he find this place so easily?"
"He must have asked in Cuzco or in Quenco," Ramon said. "People
know about our work." Quenco! That was it. It was Lander who was talking
to Amalia. Could she have told him? Dr Hafez looked at me and I looked at
him. We both had the same thought.
"It couldn't be Amalia," Dr Hafez said slowly. "She wouldn't do
anything like that."
"But I saw her in Quenco talking to him. She told me it was Lander."
"It may have been Lander," Dr Hafez said. "But that doesn't mean she told
him about our excavations. But she may have said something carelessly. It
is so easy to speak carelessly."
I remembered what I had said to Lander on the plane. I had been careless.
Perhaps I was responsible for him finding the cave. " "I'll speak to Amalia
now," said Dr Hafez. "We must find the truth. And we must find
Lander and the artefacts he took from the cave. I will have to go to the police.
Oh, these things are so difficult when you are not in your own country."
Dr Hafez helped me climb the ladder. I felt better when I reached the top.
Outside the day was bright and sunny. It seemed like a normal day.
"Come and get a hot drink," Dr Hafez said. "You must be very tired."
We went to a hut and I sat down. Someone brought me a cup of hot coffee.
I rested for a while. I was still shocked by everything that had happened.
Then the police arrived. There was a lot of noise and discussion. I didn't
understand what they were saying. Then they wanted to ask me questions.
They only spoke in Spanish. Ramon translated their questions.
After some time the police went away. "They think that Lander may
already be out of the country," Ramon said. "They will call the
Immigration Department at the airport but they think it may already be
too late. And in any case, they think Lander will have a false name and a
false passport. It won't be easy to catch him,"
I rested that day. I couldn't face going down into the cave again. Later in the
day, Dr Hafez came to see me. He told me about his meeting with Amalia.
Mr.Mahmoud Fathy محمود فتحى/أ
"She says that she has known Lander for a long time. He has many
contacts in Peru. He helped her find her first job in archaeology. She said
Lander knew her father. It was strange. She seemed unhappy about
something. There was something she didn't want to talk about. But she
says that she didn't talk to him about her work here. I think I believe her. I
don't believe she told Lander anything."
The next day work started again. Nobody knew what Martin Lander had
stolen from the cave. He had probably been working there several hours
before I found him. We wondered if we would find any more artefacts.
And then towards the end of the day, my trowel suddenly hit something
hard, something metal. "Ramon, come here. Can you help me?" I called.
"I think I've found something interesting." Ramon helped me
carefully dig around the object and take it out of the ground. It was a mask.
It was made of gold. We stood up and called the others.
Dr Hafez shone his flashlight on the mask. It shone with a lovely golden
colour. "It's a king's mask. It's like the face of the sun," he exclaimed.
"Look at the sun's rays. How wonderful!"
Everyone was very happy after all that had happened the day before. Now
we knew for certain that it was a royal tomb. We had made a great
discovery. We stopped work. We carefully took the gold mask to show to
Pablo. He was delighted. "I will put it in the safe," he said. "We don't
want another visit from Mr. Lander."
The next morning when I got to the site there were police cars again. I
wondered why they had come back.
I soon found out. The gold mask was no longer in the safe.
