An awesome tale
The tomb wall flickered from the light of a burning torch. Stuffy, sweaty, three Britons cast their eyes over the solid rock, finally resting on the ornate carving. “What’s that” whispered one, eyes widening at the sight of the ancient art, “it’s beautiful!” Another imagined how it must have been inside the cavernous tomb in Egypt thousands of years ago. They’d had a long wait, but had finally found their prize and gasped in awe at the treasure of memories it would bring. They would have to stop at the gift shop to buy postcards on the way home.
