Estamos en Egipto, durante la campaña de excavaciones de Flinders Petrie de 1888. Petrie consigue, por fin y tras ímprobos esfuerzos, acceder a la cámara funeraria del rey Amenemhat III, pero la decepción es casi tan grande como la alegría del éxito: pronto se da cuenta de que alguien había conseguido entrar antes que él y llevar a buen término el ‘atraco’ del milenio.
