Transcript

From Hollywood, the CBS Radio Workshop. This is Radio Rhodesia broadcasting on the mega micro and strato beams. We take you now to the Ethical Museum of Antiquity at Kenya and our correspondent, Dinar Geb. Come in, Dinar Geb.

Stand by, please. We are trying to get through. Radio Rhodesia to Dinar Geb in Kenya. Come in, Dinar Geb. CBS Radio presents the CBS Radio Workshop, dedicated to man's imagination, the theatre of the mind.

West Continent. As you know, as part of the worldwide celebration of this astrophysical year of 79-56 AD, teams of archaeologists have been working for months in the tumuli, or city mounds of the uninhabited continent.

Our staff correspondents are with them now, at the tumulus of En-Yok, Eshah-Ago, at Lu-Sangos, and at Pound-Laundry. In just a moment you'll hear them in person, but first, standing beside me at this microphone is Raghun Bolak, Chancellor of Education and Curator of the Museum.

Raghun Bolak, would you care to give our listeners some hint as to what discoveries may be announced today? No, Sir Gabb, that would be cheating. Yes, I suppose it would. But I will say this.
