The Tomb of King Tutankamen

The air is musty and old. Treasure sparkles in the gleam of my torch.
Nothing moves. Nothing speaks, as if the world never has been.
A coffin is in front of me! I shiver with excitement, and remove the lid.
Inside are the most beautiful treasures I have ever seen, from a
four-thousand-year-old scroll to a sapphire crocodile. Amidst
these riches is something, if possible, more beautiful than them all.
There in all his splendor lies King Tutankamen himself!
