Значит, кому-то известно, и уже давно, место захоронения, и надо в следующем сезоне заняться поисками. Архелог Кемаль не хочет откладывать дело до следующего сезона и считает необходимым выехать в Фивы немедленно, тем более что расхитители активизируют свою деятельность именно тогда, когда раскопки не ведутся...
