(x) Keeper of the Tomb

But here goes. Some years ago I was contacted by an old friend, Julie Richards, whom I knew from university days when we studied archaeology and anthropology together. She begged me to come out to South Africa where she was on vacation, and she'd found something that would intrigue me.

My name is Mark Hyland, and in company with my assistant Tom Raglan, we flew from London to Johannesburg. Julie met us there in a hotel where she unwrapped a stone fragment from a cocoon of tissue.

Take a look at that, Mark. What are you making? You're not having us, honor. No, it's no joke. I found that fragment only last week on a large farm in the Northern Cape Prophet. Oh, let me see. It's definitely a Egyptian origin. Too complete, hieroglyph.

People, what's it doing here? That's the $64,000 question. Do you know what it's the part of Julie? Well, may Ann and Aztec archaeology is my specialty, but... Well, I'd say it's part of a three.

You're wrong. This was once part of a two marker. That's me. I agree with Mark. The hieroglyphs form a name. There's a slight difference from the Egyptian hieroglyphs we know. But it is decipherable. Well, exactly what it's about.

On a far-moan by a man called Dirk Fender. Yeah, I'll show you on the map. Now, it's just there in the northern part of the Cape Province. Yeah. It's in a valley surrounded by three hills with a small river running through it.

You know what this means, don't you? Tell me, that's why I send for you. Somewhere in the vicinity of where you found this stone fragment is a tomb of Egyptian origin. But what did it be doing here?
