A traveler details a bout of illness dubbed Guppy Tummy after arriving in Egypt. The narrator describes fever, a four to five day bed rest, and a shift to the desert near the Great Pyramid of Khufu to recover. The piece contrasts modern travel scenes with ancient wonders and British imperial travel lore.
A narrator watches the Pyramids from a balcony near the desert and reflects on their grandeur and the slave labor behind them. He notes police routines, guides, and traders, then ponders time, humanity, and the question of whether the Pyramid’s purpose outweighed its vanity. The piece ends with a promise of the next instalment “Inside the Pyramid.”
