UNDERWATER TEMPLE - The Baron Heinrich Richtohofen, John Storm and Hal, the AI onboard the Elizabeth Swann, agree that Cleopatra is entombed underwater in her former Palace at Alexandria.

 

 

 

 

In this section the tomb raiders: Safiya, Musa and Panama, hire a diving boat, search for and find Cleopatra's tomb, using the coordinates obtained from Ahmed Saleh. They then recover Cleopatra's sarcophagus, just in time to avoid further underwater movements, that might have damaged the mummy, had they not proceeded when they did. Panama saves the day with his incredible strength, at one point holding up the roof so that Musa and Safiya can ferry out Cleopatra unscathed.

 

They transport the Mummy in her sarcophagus, under cover of darkness, using a Mercedes 4x4, to their camp not far from the temple at Taposiris Magna. Although the CIA cannot determine what is in the large object the Nazi Occultist's have recovered using satellites, they have a pretty good idea - in any event - they have probable cause to begin investigating a suspected antiquity theft.

 

Meantime, John Storm is just about to rescue Charley Temple, who he thinks he is meeting some way up the river Amazon, giving the Nazis time to replicate Cleopatra from DNA recovered from her mummy, using Franco's Replivator, and the smart genome software developed by Klaus von Kolreuter.
