Bruce finally agrees to let you stay awhile longer. "But we'll have
to be very careful," he warns. Neither of you is in the mood to go
back to sleep. You leave a note under Andrea's door and go down to
the lobby. Even though it is only the earliest dawn, the back streets
of Cairo are bustling with activity. At one of the broader
intersections, you find a cab and direct the driver to take you to
Giza. When you arrive, an Egyptian friend of your uncle is already
there: Mr. Hassan, the Egyptian Director of Antiquities. It was
Hassan who first persuaded your uncle to come to Egypt many years
ago. The three of you look down into the deep pit that contains the
entrance to the tunnel under the pyramid. Nearby the Sphinx sits in
its ageless pose. "We had a slight problem finishing the tunnel,"
says Hassan. "The workmen claimed that the Sphinx itself spoke to
them, saying 'Beware the Sphinx.'"
