Cairo to Memphis and a treasure hunter's perilous quest
E C Horn recounts a Cairo Cairo Alexandria journey with Covington and native workmen. He excavates a mummy head and coins from pyramids and Diocletian era inscriptions. A cobra chamber chills the party as they press on past tombs and bazaars. He buys and resells knives to Bedouins near the pyramids, turning a quick profit while noting bargaining pitfalls.
