The Mask of Gold
Chapter 1
To the land of the Incas

Leila El- Assaby, an
Egyptian archaeologist was back home in Cairo (she had been on an excavation journey in Peru with Dr. Hafez as part of UNESCO exchange programme). When she woke up the following morning, she couldn’t know where she was.

When Leila heard the familiar sounds of her neighborhood children playing in the street, melon sellers she was happy as she was back home with her parents and her sister Samira.

On the table beside her bed there was a photo. It was a picture of her. She was looking at the camera and holding up a little gold figure of an animal.
The photo reminded Liela of that day. It was a good day, but the days after that weren’t so good, Leila shivered.

Two months go; Leila was setting off on her biggest adventure of her life. Samira drove her in their car to the airport. As usual, the airport road was crowded. Luckily they had set of early. Leila forgot her worry about flying as Samira didn’t stop talking to her all the way to the airport.

Leila was happy as she didn’t go to South America before. Leila spent the night before packing her luggage.

As Dr. Hafez's work was high up in mountains, Samira advised Leila to tell Dr. Hafez to take care of her fear, she would fall off a mountain. Leila told Samira that the Incas were tough as they lived at high altitudes. The Incas didn’t have any writing and yet, they controlled a huge empire. The Incas conquered the Chimo who were famous for their gold and silver.

The laser machine should be kept secret as they wanted to be the first to use it.
Samira was a reporter on one of the Cairo newspapers. She was ambitious as she was always looking for good articles for her newspaper.

Samira imagined some headlines such as "Secrets of an Inca tomb" and "Egyptian archaeologists find Inca Treasure". That would be titles for good articles in her paper.

At the airport Leila checked in for her flight. Samira hugged and kissed her. Leila promised to be in touch with her by sending her a postcard or an email. Samira was funny but Leila was worried about everything.

Chapter 3
The flight to Cuzco

The plane to Cuzco was full as there was a big party of German tourists. They were probably going to visit Machu Picchu, the great Inca City that was lost hundreds of years.

Dr. Hafez was satisfied when he was reading the papers Leila had brought as it showed him that they were working along the right lines.

There were similarities and differences between the ways the Inca and the ancient Egyptians buried their dead.

1) Similarities
- They mummified their dead Kings
- They dressed them in beautiful clothes.
- They put gold masks on their faces.
- They put gold and silver objects their tombs.
- They put small gold figures of animals in their tombs
- They put food and drink in the tombs.

2) Differences
Every year at important festivals, the mummified kings were put on litters, dressed in fine clothes. They were taken through the streets.
The Incas killed women and servants and buried them with the King to take care of him in the next world.

Giving more information about Lander:-
Dr. Hafez told Leila that he was quite sure that he had met Lander before, his name wasn’t Lander though. He used to work for United Mining, but he got involved with some people who were taking Inca objects out of the country. Lander had to leave his job with United Mining and Dr. Hafez added that the United Mining wasn’t working in Peru then.

Dr. Hafez's advice:-
Dr. Hafez asked Leila if she had told Lander anything about their work, Leila felt sorry as she talked and told Lander information about the work, so Dr. Hafez advised her to be careful as there are people who come to Peru and dig up old Inca cities. They break into tombs they find gold and silver things.

These things should be in museums and take them out of the country. They sell these things to rich collectors. These people don’t care about the things of the past as they aren't archaeologists.

Dr. Hafez told Leila that there were two teams under his direction and she'd be in charge of one team with three local archaeologists as it was better to have small teams rather than one big team.

Why did Dr. Hafez send to Leila?
As he needed someone to understand and trust him. People in Peru speak different Languages, so sometimes he couldn't understand their English besides they have different ideas and views.

When they arrived at Cuzco, Amalia was waiting for them. Dr. Hafez introduced Leila to Amalia but Amalia seemed cold and unfriendly towards Liela. Although Leila had much more Luggage than Dr. Hafez.

Chapter 4

The hill of the KingWhen Leila got to the camp, she went straight to bed as she was dead tired.
She woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t get back to sleep again. That was jet lag. Her body thought day was night and night was day.
During breakfast Leila told Dr. Hafez that she had a bit of a headache. Dr. Hafez told her it was the effect of the altitude and she could go to meet Amalia and take some headache pills to be all right.

Dr. Hafez had to go to Quenco for a meeting. He was expecting a visit from the local UNESCO representative. Dr. Hafez was keen that the representative should get a good impression about his work… but why?

As UNESCO was supporting them till the end of the year. This was an important project for them and the Peruvian government and it was the first time there had been that kind of exchange.

What if Dr. Hafez and his team didn’t find anything important before the end of the Year?

The UNESCO wouldn’t support them for another year.
Leila went to see Amalia as her head was really hurting her. Amalia was working on one corner of the site, she gave Leila a couple of pills. Leila asked if Amalia could show her around the site. Although Amalia agreed she didn’t seem happy to show Leila around.

Before starting to explain, Amalia asked Leila how much she knew about the Inca civilization.

Leila answered she had done some work on the Incas when she was studying at the Italian Institute of Archaeology, and she had read Dr. Hafez's reports about the excavation.

In Amalia's opinion Leila was in Peru as Dr. Hafez was an old friend of her family, but Leila defended herself saying she was an experienced archaeologist and Dr. Hafez thought her experience would be useful in that excavation.

Amalia wanted to know where Leila worked with Dr. Hafez before, Leila said that she worked with Dr. Hafez in the valley of the Nobles in Luxor and they excavated the tomb of Sennofer together.

Amalia showed Leila the site; it was quite similar to Machu Picchu.

Leila could see people working Dr. Hafez had told her there were about twenty people working on the project. There were foundations of walls. Everywhere people were carefully brushing away earth.

Amalia told Leila that they may have found a tomb of a Chimu King. The Chimu sometimes built their tombs in hillsides like that and that hill is called "Hill of the King".

The Incas conquered the Chimu but they allowed their Kings to rule if they were loyal to the Incas.

The Incas sent the Chimu Kings' sons to Cuzco to make sure their Fathers were loyal.

"Amalia said they had found some bits of pottery and the bones of some animals and there was an entrance hall where the priests carried out their rituals. It was thought that there was a tomb behind that wall but they wouldn’t know what lay behind until they made a hole in the wall.

One of the workers Ramon shouted, Amalia and Leila went over to him. Ramon found a gold figure of a child. The Incas sacrificed children to please their gods. They put these gold figures beside the body of the little girl or boy. Ramon said a person's life didn’t have much value for the Incas.

Who was Pablo?

Pablo Alvarez worked for the Peruvian Ministry of Culture. He was also on the committee which advised the UNESCO representative about the project. He made a note of everything they found.
When Pablo saw the gold figure he said it was so beautiful and so sad.

Amalia introduced Leila to Pablo
Pablo talked about the Inca culture he was very proud of it as it was a great civilization. The Incas built great cities and made beautiful things. Pablo said that they let the foreigners to excavate their ancient cities but they have to keep the things they find in Peru where they belong as there are many robbers who come to steal their culture and sell it to rich collectors.

Pablo and Leila agreed that they wouldn’t let anything fall into the hands of the thieves.

Three days later Leila wrote an email to Samira.

Leila said that they hadn’t found the treasure but it was amazing day. They opened the wall of a tomb. It may have been a tomb of a king.

Chapter 4

The hill of the KingWhen Leila got to the camp, she went straight to bed as she was dead tired.
She woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t get back to sleep again. That was jet lag. Her body thought day was night and night was day.
During breakfast Leila told Dr. Hafez that she had a bit of a headache. Dr. Hafez told her it was the effect of the altitude and she could go to meet Amalia and take some headache pills to be all right.

Dr. Hafez had to go to Quenco for a meeting. He was expecting a visit from the local UNESCO representative. Dr. Hafez was keen that the representative should get a good impression about his work… but why?

As UNESCO was supporting them till the end of the year. This was an important project for them and the Peruvian government and it was the first time there had been that kind of exchange.

What if Dr. Hafez and his team didn’t find anything important before the end of the Year?

The UNESCO wouldn’t support them for another year.
Leila went to see Amalia as her head was really hurting her. Amalia was working on one corner of the site, she gave Leila a couple of pills. Leila asked if Amalia could show her around the site. Although Amalia agreed she didn’t seem happy to show Leila around.

Before starting to explain, Amalia asked Leila how much she knew about the Inca civilization.

Leila answered she had done some work on the Incas when she was studying at the Italian Institute of Archaeology, and she had read Dr. Hafez's reports about the excavation.

In Amalia's opinion Leila was in Peru as Dr. Hafez was an old friend of her family, but Leila defended herself saying she was an experienced archaeologist and Dr. Hafez thought her experience would be useful in that excavation.

Amalia wanted to know where Leila worked with Dr. Hafez before, Leila said that she worked with Dr. Hafez in the valley of the Nobles in Luxor and they excavated the tomb of Sennofer together.

Amalia showed Leila the site; it was quite similar to Machu Picchu.

Leila could see people working Dr. Hafez had told her there were about twenty people working on the project. There were foundations of walls. Everywhere people were carefully brushing away earth.

Amalia told Leila that they may have found a tomb of a Chimu King. The Chimu sometimes built their tombs in hillsides like that and that hill is called "Hill of the King".

The Incas conquered the Chimu but they allowed their Kings to rule if they were loyal to the Incas.

The Incas sent the Chimu Kings' sons to Cuzco to make sure their Fathers were loyal.

"Amalia said they had found some bits of pottery and the bones of some animals and there was an entrance hall where the priests carried out their rituals. It was thought that there was a tomb behind that wall but they wouldn’t know what lay behind until they made a hole in the wall.

One of the workers Ramon shouted, Amalia and Leila went over to him. Ramon found a gold figure of a child. The Incas sacrificed children to please their gods. They put these gold figures beside the body of the little girl or boy. Ramon said a person's life didn’t have much value for the Incas.

Who was Pablo?

Pablo Alvarez worked for the Peruvian Ministry of Culture. He was also on the committee which advised the UNESCO representative about the project. He made a note of everything they found.
When Pablo saw the gold figure he said it was so beautiful and so sad.

Amalia introduced Leila to Pablo
Pablo talked about the Inca culture he was very proud of it as it was a great civilization. The Incas built great cities and made beautiful things. Pablo said that they let the foreigners to excavate their ancient cities but they have to keep the things they find in Peru where they belong as there are many robbers who come to steal their culture and sell it to rich collectors.

Pablo and Leila agreed that they wouldn’t let anything fall into the hands of the thieves.

Three days later Leila wrote an email to Samira.

Leila said that they hadn’t found the treasure but it was amazing day. They opened the wall of a tomb. It may have been a tomb of a king. She was amazed by the wall as the blocks of stone were so beautifully cut. They had to work very slowly and carefully as they didn’t want to damage them. After making a hole, Ramón got into the tomb first as he was small enough to get through the hole. When Ramon went down the tomb, Dr. Hafez asked what he could see Ramón replied some bites of pottery and some human bones. Ramon put a ladder down and fixed it Dr. Hafez ordered to get all the equipment ready to start the exploration the next day. One thing was worrying Leila and it was Amalia as Amalia obviously didn’t like Liela, as Leila was in charge of Amalia's team.

Chapter 5
A meeting in Quenco

Leila could hardly believe what she'd written to Samira. Dr Hafez thought there was a royal tomb in the City. Now it seemed he was right. Leila was worried and upset that Amalia was unfriendly to her so she went to find Dr. Hafez. Dr. Hafez was sitting in front of his lap-top computer as he was having problems with it. He'd have to go to Quenco and see if they could help, so Leila was disappointed as she was eager to explore the tomb.

Leila asked Dr. Hafez his advice as Amalia was unfriendly towards her. Dr. Hafez asked why? Leila said maybe because she was in charge of Amalia's team and she was his assistant.

Dr. Hafez told Leila not to be silly as they were of the same age and they were both archaeologists.

He said that Amalia was a good archaeologist. She knew a lot about these tombs and she did a lot of good work on that excavation so they would get along better when they started work.

Dr. Hafez asked Leila to go with him to Quenco to take a look around the town while he was busy as there were some interesting Spanish style houses and squares in the old part of town.

So next morning Amalia drove them to Quenco as Dr. Hafez didn’t like driving especially in foreign country.

Dr. Hafez went to the project office but Liela decided to wander off into the old part of the town. Women dressed in colourful hats and dresses sat in the sunshine. Children ran after Leila laughing and clapping their hands. It was shot and Leila was feeling a little tired. She still had a bit of a headache; it was a combination of jet-lag and the effect of the altitude. Leila looked for a coffee to have a cool drink.

People were sitting outside the café drinking coffee in the sunshine, but Liela was hot and wanted a table out of the sun. Leila saw Lander sitting with

Amalia. Leila saw Lander sitting with Amalia. Leila inquired what Lander was doing. Amalia seemed to be upset as she was shaking her head.

Leila stood on the door way watching them, she noticed Pablo cross the square and go in the direction of the UNESCO office. The clocks in the church tower stroke twelve. It was her appointment with Dr. Hafez. Leila decided to go back and tell Dr. Hafez. Leila found her way to the Hotel Grande where Dr. Hafez was waiting her outside.

Leila said "Dr. Hafez. Quick! Come with me. I have to show you something." Leila led Dr. Hafez back where she saw Lander sitting with Amalia , but two other persons were sitting instead Dr. Hafez asked Leila if she was sure and he said that he couldn’t believe Amalia would do anything wrong, as he trusted her.

Dr. Hafez advised Leila not to be suspicious and worried about everything. Dr. Hafez and Leila had a lunch in a restaurant. He said that he had his computer fixed and saw the UNESCO people.

They went back to camp.

Leila got out her lap-top and logged onto the internet. She called up the United Mining Website. She found that United Mining ended its work in Peru in 1999 and there were no plans to survey or mine in Peru.

Chapter 6
Inside the Tomb

The next day Dr. Hafez, Leila, Amalia and Ramon went into the tomb. Ramon and the other workers had made the hole in the wall wider. Inside the tomb the only air came from the hole they had made. They started to look around. They found some bits of pottery and human bones as Ramon said. The human bones "skeleton" was near the centre of the cave. The skeleton was in a sitting position. There were some small pieces of cloth. They looked closer at the body. Leila gasped so did the others. The skull was broken and there was a big crack across it.

"He might have been killed" It was Dr. Hafez's opinion, but Liela said "But the skull could have been broken by falling rocks."

Dr. Hafez smiled and said they had to keep both possibilities in mind until they had proof that one was correct.

Dr. Hafez said if they found a gold mask, they would be sure it was a king's tomb. Dr. Hafez used the laser machine to date the cloth. Pablo asked about the machine, so Dr. Hafez explained that it was the latest way of dating cloth.

The machine read 1400. Pablo said it was in the middle of the Inca period. That was a good start. They spent the rest of the morning taking a close look at the area around the body. It was hard work inside the tomb as there wasn’t much air in the cave and they were bending over earth all day.

They used little towels to clear away the earth and then they used little brushes to clean the stones and bricks. They had a break in the middle of the morning and another at mid-day. After a few days of work Leila was tired and her back hurt. One morning she was sitting outside the tomb having a drink of water, Amalia came and sat beside her.

Amalia asked if Leila was all right. Leila said she was a bit tired and asked if this tomb was royal.

Amalia said that they wouldn’t be sure unless they found something definite. Leila told Amalia that she saw her sitting with Lander in Quenco. They were having a drink. Amalia said that she had known Lander for years and he worked for United Mining.

The work went on and Leila got used to it and to the altitude.

Leila e-mailed Samira. Leila said that she was found something important and it might prove that the tomb was royal.

They were working hard and it was nearly the end of the day. They had finished working and Leila was just starting to pack away her tools. She kept them in a bag. She picked up the bag to put the tools in the bag brushed away some of the earth below it and she saw something shiny on the ground. Leila got her brush out again and brushed more of the earth away. The head of an animal appeared.

Leila was really excited. The others started to leave the tomb. Dr Hafez said "It's time to stop working you have done enough for the day".

Leila said "Dr. Hafez. I think I've found something".

Dr. Hafez and the other rushed. Leila showed them the head of the animal. They all started brushing away the earth form the figure. It was tiny. It was a gold Llama.

Dr. Hafez said the Incas used Llamas like we used camels. They hadn’t invented the wheel, so everything was carried on the backs of Llamas.

The gold llama meant that it was the tomb of somebody important. The Incas only left gold figures in the tombs of kings and nobles. This gold llama made it more likely that it was a royal tomb. They need to find a gold mask to be absolutely sure.

Dr. Hafez insisted on taking Leila a photo holding the gold llama.

Dr. Hafez took his team out for dinner at the best restaurant in town but Leila decided to stay at the site to tell her sister Samira about her discovery. When Leila finished her e-mail, she didn’t feel tired and she was sorry as she hadn’t gone with them.

Leila closed her lap-top and she stepped outside. Leila decided to walk over to the tomb. Leila found that the door wasn’t completely closed. It had been left slightly open. Leila walked to close the door when she noticed that there was a light coming form inside the tomb. Leila's curiosity was greater than her nervousness. She crept up to the entrance and opened it a bit further; she looked down into the cave. A man was kneeling. There was a lamp beside him on the ground. Leila guessed who it was before she could see his face.
