Evelyn:
I've already dated the map. It's almost 3,000 years old. And if you look at the hieratic just here, well, it's Hamunaptra.
Dr. Bey:
Dear God, don't be ridiculous. We're scholars, not treasure hunters. Hamunaptra's a myth told by ancient Arab storytellers to amuse Greek and Roman tourists.
Evelyn:
Yes! Yes! I know all the silly blather about the city being protected by the curse of a mummy nonsense, but my research has led me to believe that the city itself may have actually existed.
Jonathan:
Are we talking about the Hamunaptra?
Evelyn:
Yes. The City of the Dead. Where the earliest pharaohs were said to have hidden the wealth of Egypt.
Jonathan:
Yes, yes, in-in-in-in a big, underground treasure chamber.
Dr. Bey:
Heh!
Jonathan:
Oh, come on. Everybody knows the story. The entire necropolis was rigged to sink into the sand on Pharaoh's command. A flick of a switch, and the whole place would disappear beneath the sand dunes, taking the treasure with it.
Dr. Bey:
As the Americans would say, it's all fairy tales and hokum.
Dr. Bey:
[lets the map on fire that made him shocked]
Oh, my goodness! Look at that!
Jonathan:
[they got rid of the fire and looks at the map]
You've burnt it! You've burned off the part with the lost city.
Dr. Bey:
It's for the best, I'm sure. Many men have wasted their lives in the foolish pursuit of Hamunaptra. No one's ever found it. Most have never returned.
