Book excerpt: In modern-day Egypt, a young scholar finds a clue that leads to a pharaoh's tomb. The tomb is guarded by puzzles that look like the Sphinx and could change the course of history. To sum up: A young historian named Sami lived in an exciting, colorful part of Egypt that was full of both current sounds and the sounds of long-gone times. Sami was different from everyone else because he was crazy about historical secrets and couldn't get enough information. Sami found an interesting map hidden in a forgotten corner of an old, dirty library while he was walking around it. But this wasn't any old map. It held the answer to a long-lost puzzle that would lead to the tomb of a king whose name was only remembered in stories and myths from long ago. Sami set out on an adventure that was beyond his wildest dreams because he was excited and wanted to find new things. The path wouldn't be easy; mysterious riddles like the Sphinx would stand in the way, and each one would be a gatekeeper to the next part of his goal. The ancients made these puzzle-like questions to keep the pharaoh's tomb and its secrets safe. secrets that can change how we think about the past, bring back stories we've lost, and let out secrets we've kept for a long time. But Sami wasn't the only one looking for something. He met new people along the way who were just as interested in investigating the secrets that lay ahead as he was. They worked together to solve every problem, showing that they were brave and clever. They used clues to find their way, found hidden passages, and opened doors that had been locked in years. They were getting closer to finding the secrets buried with the king with each step they took to solve his puzzles. It wasn't just a quest to find a hidden tomb; it was a trip of bravery, friendship, and unquenchable interest. Sami and his friends were able to get through even the hardest problems by working hard and not giving up. When they stood in front of the tomb and revealed the truths that were inside, they understood that they had not only found the final resting place of a lost pharaoh, but also a piece of history that had been waiting to be told. They brought stories that had been lost for hundreds of years to life and made them ready to be told to the world. This would be a lasting way for future generations to remember the forgotten pharaoh. Chapter 1: What They Found A young scholar named Sami used to live in the middle of Cairo, a city full of life and artifacts from other times. Sami wasn't like other teens his age; he was always looking for es and was very interested in the past. He dreamed of finding secrets buried in the sands of time, and he loved nothing more than getting lost in historical stories. Sami found something wonderful while looking through the maze of racks in an old, dimly lit library on a beautiful afternoon. He found an old, dusty map in a forgotten part of the library that seemed to hold secrets from a different time. This map wasn't like most. It had carefully drawn lines, torn edges, and the promise of an adventure Sami could never have dreamed of. The map was like a puzzle that had to be solved to find the location of the tomb of a king whose name had been lost to history. People said that this pharaoh's final resting place was hidden and protected by sneaky traps and clever puzzles to keep people who weren't supposed to be there from getting there. Sami's heart raced at the thought of finding a place that no one had been to before. He knew that digging this tomb could bring up long-buried secrets about the ancient world, such as details about the lives of historical figures. Sami was eager to find the lost tomb because he was interested and wanted to feel the thrill of finding something new. He carefully looked at the map, following its lines and markings to try to figure out the clues that were hidden inside its folds. The map itself was a gem, a key to the past that let you see the amazing things that people did in the past. Sami knew that this trip would be the hardest thing he had ever done. The ancients used traps and puzzles to keep their most important secrets safe. But they were more than just problems; they were tests of how smart and brave you were. Sami found the old map in a library nook that wasn't being used, which started an amazing trip. He would have to use all of his guts and smarts to get through the complicated old Egypt. Sami knew that his adventure would be more than just finding a secret tomb as he got ready to start. His search for a lost piece of history would test his willpower and show him how important it is to learn and go on adventures. He was ready to go into the unknown with the map to help him. He was eager to figure out the puzzles and get past the obstacles that were stopping him from learning the pharaoh's secrets. Chapter 2: The First Hint As Sami unfolded the old map and looked at it in the dim light of his desk lamp, something amazing happened. With all of its complicated lines and marks, the map seemed to come to life and tell stories from the past. As Sami's eyes moved across the paper, he saw a phrase that would help him plan his journey: "At the Sphinx's gaze, where the sun meets the earth, the journey begins." At first, this mysterious message confused Sami, but it eventually made sense to him. The first piece of proof was found in the Great Sphinx of Giza, a huge statue with the head of a person and the body of a lion staring forever at the point where the sky meets the ground at sunrise and sunset. Sami knew that his hunt would begin with this strange and quiet old Egyptian guardian. The Sphinx, a magnificent work of ancient art and design, has stood guard over the Giza plateau for thousands of years, its eyes set on the eastern sky, waiting for the sun to rise every day. Sami knew that he would start his quest to find out about the long-forgotten king at the feet of this huge defender. The hint suggested that the start of the journey would happen when the country was lit up by the sun's first or last rays, making long shadows that revealed secrets that were hidden from plain sight. Light and shadow danced across the old stones, making the Sphinx look like it was coming to life right now. It told anyone who would listen about the secrets of the past. Sami knew that he had to stand in front of the Sphinx at this lucky time in order to continue his quest. He had to be ready to watch, understand, and act on the clues that came from nature and common sense. After learning this, Sami got ready for his trip to see the Great Sphinx of Giza. He was very excited, and his mind was full of questions. What did the Sphinx keep hidden? What secrets were there for people who were brave enough to look for them? Sami knew that this was a chance to go deep into old Egypt and connect with the past in ways that not many people have ever been able to do—more than just looking for a tomb.

Download or read book Khufu the Great Pyramid Conclusion the Search Is Over written by Roger T. Penny and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-22 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The looting of pyramids and mastabas in Egypt was big business especially just after a Pharaoh was entombed with his enormous wealth in treasures. Historians tell us that looting was practiced at all levels of society and was not particularly regarded as a disgraceful occupation. The looters are thought to have held inside knowledge from having been involved in the construction of the tombs and at times they were even part of the funerary procession. Mummified Pharaohs bodies were stolen and sold to collectors or desecrated. Nothing was sacred.The Medjay had a job on their hands trying to maintain security and although they were feared by many, it didn't stop robbers repeating raids on tombs as the rewards of their ill-gotten gains were very high indeed.The penalty for being caught "red-handed" in possession of stolen articles from a Pharaohs tomb and subsequently found guilty, ranged from lashing of the feet to capital punishment.The courts were awash with such cases on a regular basis and it was not uncommon for hefty bribes to be paid to officials to allow the guilty to walk free. A vicious circle of events therefore surrounded the looting, concealment and black-market sales of precious articles of jewelry, gold and mummified Pharaohs.Pharaoh Khufu was well aware of such activities. He did not wish his body desecrated or his treasure looted. He needed a full-proof method to conceal himself and his wealth into eternity. A great pyramid was required along with a great architect and master mason.The Great Pyramid has therefore attracted the attention of the world ever since it was built because Pharaoh Khufu and his treasures have remained highly elusive. The Pharaoh is reckoned to have possessed wealth far in excess of Pharaoh Tutankhamun.The architect responsible for the creation of the Great Pyramid and the elusive tomb together with a vast wealth in treasure was the architect and vizier to Pharaoh Khufu. His name is Hemiunu known to his family and close associates as "Hemon". Robbers, treasure hunters, general enthusiasts and scientists have tried to identify secret passageways and chambers in the Great Pyramid of Khufu yet all that has been found raises more questions compared to answers.Archaeologists, Egyptologists and teams of scientists and explorers have endeavored for many decades to unravel the secrets of the Great Pyramid with some success. However, the pyramid refuses to give up its deepest secret; the last resting place of Pharaoh Khufu. The theory is that if you find Khufu; you'll find his treasure! Explanations and interpretations of the possible methods that were used to construct the Great Pyramid have yielded incredible facts related to astronomy, planet earth, mathematics and religious significance to name but a few yet nothing much that has identified Khufu is either entombed there or is even the original builder. Despite the apparent absence of the famous mummie and his treasure, most admiration arises from the awe-inspiring respect for the enormity and accuracy of various geometric alignments and of course the mysterious and wonderful way in which the Great Pyramid was constructed over four and a half thousand years ago. The Great Pyramid is the oldest and last remaining of the original 7 ancient wonders of the world. For the first time you will discover how Pharaoh Khufu and the architect and vizier, Hemon, designed and built the most iconic and mysterious tomb the world has taken so much interest in. What you are about to discover has never been revealed before.The six pieces of the puzzle that reveal how the pyramid was built and where Pharaoh Khufu is securely entombed are actually in full view of everyone. Hemon not only designed the perfect illusion to conceal Pharaoh Khufu and his treasure but he then cleverly re-arranged and disguised the pieces of the puzzle to stop all tomb raiders.Be prepared to be surprised as never before.

Download or read book The Secret written by Byron Preiss and published by ibooks. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.

On 4 November 1922, a young Egyptian boy working on Howard Carter's archaeological dig in the Valley of the Kings stumbled across a strange piece of rock. On closer inspection it turned out to be a stone step that would lead Carter to a long-lost tomb - and to treasures beyond his wildest dreams. The tomb belonged to boy pharaoh Tutankhamun and was packed full of priceless artefacts. It had been largely untouched for over 3,000 years and remains one of the most important archaeological discoveries of all time. But did the opening of the tomb trigger a deadly curse? David Long's fact-filled account shows how Carter's amazing discoveries told us so much about life in Ancient Egypt.
