(SA) The Tomb Of Kia Shan (Final Episode)

Harold Paisley realizes his life-sandition with astonishing and terrifying results. In the story, Ron Evans takes us into the Burmese Jung Law II, the Tomb of Kai Shan. Yes, Sam, what is it? Dr. Yumus cleared the main portal, isn't it?

Tiding the entrance. Wonderful, wonderful, Sam. Everything is surpassing my expectations. It's really been quite incredible. He'll be finished by late this afternoon, and wants to know if you want the door open. Oh, no, no, no, Sam, we leave the opening until tomorrow.

This is the culmination of 15 years work for me, and I think I'll make an occasion of it. A small ceremony, don't you think? No, yes, sir. It'll look good on video, too. Talking about video. Have you seen Joyce?

She's with Dr. Yuma, making a pictorial record of the excavation. Oh, good. Exactly. What I was about to suggest. Do you see this piece of metal, Sam? Is it a part of what we found yesterday?

Yes, look at it closely. Mmm, copper. What else? Well, I can't say without looking at it under a glass. There's rust and particles sticking to it that could possibly... Would you laugh if I told you that it was once chromium-plated?

I'd be flabbergasted. Then B flabbergasted Sam. That copper rod was once chromium-plated. Well, that's impossible. No, it must have been left by the Japanese army when they occupied this region here. If you mean a Japanese soldier once dug 15 meters under the floor of the Burmese jungle, just to bury a piece of chromium-plated copper rod?

Well, no, not exactly, but what could have happened? This is an artifact from the reign of Taishan. It's at least 5,000 years old, sir. Impossible! So it seems, because it would mean that a very high degree of technology existed at that time, What's more, it requires electricity for the chromium plating process.
