The submersible car journeys up the river, just under the surface of

the water. "Not long ago," says Bruce, "I discovered the entrance to

an underwater tunnel that goes from the Nile to the famous step

pyramid at Sakkara. They say Imhotep's tomb is there. I haven't had a

chance to explore this tunnel until now." When you reach Sakkara, the

car enters the underwater runnel. Soon you surface on a broad lake in

an underground cavern. In the center of the lake is an island, and in

the center of the island is a small pyramid about thirty feet high.

It is made of a dull, silvery metal—perhaps platinum. Bruce steers

the car to the edge of the island. The three of you jump ashore. As

you do, a large opening appears in the side of the pyramid. A voice

comes from inside. "If you wish to know the secret of Imhotep, and

the secret of the Pyramids," says the voice, "then all of you must

step inside." "I guess it's all or nothing," says Bruce. Andrea and

Bruce want to go in—which leaves it up to you.

If you decide to go into the pyramid,

turn to page 67.

If you feel it might be a trap,

turn to page 109.
