Projekt: Sakkara (German Edition)

Peter Lavell and Patrick Nevreux can remember only too well the ""Babylon Project"" and the cave with the mysterious lights. Now there is a new adventure awaiting the odd pair of explorers. They are to trace the legendary pyramidion from the time of Imhotep, who is said to have had magic powers. Their first clue is a papyrus scroll stolen from the tomb of Tutankhamun. It is not long before their expedition, which takes them to Cairo and then Rhodes and the roots of human history, arouses the interest of dubious rivals. There is Al Haris, for example, a shady grandseigneur; or an unscupulous secret society that is openly threatening them; and then there is the delightful Melissa, who belongs to a dubious sect. In the end, Peter and Patrick discover the lost tomb of Imhotep. The paintings and inscriptions in it explain how Imhotep found an archive of knowledge, how he survived the trials and traps and finally came to partake of the knowledge, which he passed on during his life. The two explorers are astounded to discover that the centre and regularly repeated symbol in the inscriptions is the same symbol they stumbled upon during the ""Babylon Project"" in southern France: the sign of concentric circles.
