                     Author: J. Whatty

         Taken from a solution by Bev Truter on PC

You begin this adventure standing in searing heat in the centre of
a desert. Above you towers an ancient pyramid, its sides
apparently bare of any entrance to the tombs which lie within its
hidden depths. Beside the pyramid you see a statue of a sphinx,
and half-buried in the sand is an old rucksack. Get rucksack and
open it, get lamp and shovel. Pull statue and you find yourself
inside the pyramid in a passageway. The entrance slams shut behind
you, and the only obvious exit is South. Get hanky, X hanky and
you see embroidery on it. Read hanky to discover what your task
is, and why you came here in the first place.

X walls - they are damp and cold, and haven't been touched by
human hand for thousands of years. Touch walls, and you are
transported to a Secret Chamber with a cold pool, a small Snake,
and a large clay storage jar against the wall. Shoot Snake with
revolver, open jar with shovel, Look, then get the gold coin and
the parchment. Read parchment - to overcome the Mummy you must
have the sacred object of Shamra. Swim; you walk into the pool and
find a tentacle wraps itself around your leg <uugghhh!>. Kill
tentacle with shovel, get shovel, drop rucksack. Get the silver
ankh and X it - it's a sacred amulet, and has been blessed by the
god Ras Shamra, to ward off evil spirits. U-W-S to a Large
Antechamber. Kill Mummy with ankh, get ankh, open sarcophagus,
Look. Get dagger and X it - it's sharp and stained with dry
blood...
