priests are worthy to be here,” said the remaining local.
    Helen shook him with both hands and said, “nonsense! That’s just old sayings. Nothing’s going to happen.”
    Danny looked rather shaken also. He was the only one who did not bring a flashlight, and now he seriously wished he had.
    Jason said, “it seems we can’t go any further. It’s a dead end.”
    All of them looked around the cave-like walls for another doorway. Helen saw something behind the statue. Chiseled out on the wall were some hieroglyphs.
    “Only the chosen ones may enter.”
    Danny looked confused.
    He asked, “what does that mean? Only the chosen ones may enter! Enter where? There’s nowhere else to go!”
    Jason was convinced there was a hidden entrance somewhere. He began to search around the statue’s base, behind it, feeling the surrounding walls for a way inside.
    “God damn it!” There has to be a way in. Or else why would it read, only the chosen ones may enter.”
    He took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one up, exhaling a large amount of secondhand smoke in the air. Helen shone her flashlight at Jason, not believing he just lit up a cigarette in this confined space. The smoke started to rise slowly above them, when suddenly it was drawn to the rear of the statue, disappearing through a small crack in the wall.
    “There!” yelled out Helen. “The smoke! It’s being sucked in through the wall!”
    Jason then exhaled smoke again to see it pass right through the wall. They immediately shone their flashlights in the direction of the smoke. Jason ran his hands over the wall that seemed to be much smoother compared to the other wall surfaces. He then turned his attention to the statue.
    “It has got to be here somewhere. There has to be a way inside and this statue is the key.”
    Jason then tried to move it, but it was much too heavy.
    “Give me a hand here will you! The Egyptians used sand, just like we use hydraulics to move or open things. I’m sure there is a connection with this statue that will get us inside.”
    They all put their weight on one side and pushed, but it didn’t move an inch.
    Jason said, “let’s try from the other side.”
    Again they tried to move it, but it would not budge.
    “It’s not working Jason. This thing hasn’t been moved in centuries, it’s either stuck or has nothing to do with getting inside,” said Danny.
    Helen came up with an idea. She took out her water bottle from her backpack and poured the water around the base of the statue.
    “Lubrication! Smart girl,” said Jason with a wink.
    “Come on! Give it another try,” said Helen.
    Once again, they pushed as hard as they could, when suddenly they heard a grinding sound.
    “It’s working!” cried out Helen.
    “Again! Push harder!” She said.
    The next instant the figure moved six inches. They pushed harder, and it moved even further, when all of a sudden a huge amount of air came gushing out from beneath the statue. Instantaneously the wall began to sink into the ground, opening a five foot doorway. They let the dust settle before entering inside. Jason entered first. It was pitch black inside, and the air let out a bad smell from being closed up all these centuries. After a few paces inside, Jason’s flashlight lost all power. He dared not to venture inside without knowing what lay ahead of them.
    “My flashlight needs recharging,” he said.
    Helen and the others checked their flashlights, which were also drained of power.
    Helen then decided, “I know we are all excited to continue, but I’m not going to risk our safety. We will come back tomorrow with more lights and equipment.”
          Once they all agreed to Helen’s proposal, they began the long journey up the stone steps. Jason was at the rear. He turned around looking into the darkness. He didn’t need a flashlight to see inside. To him it was as bright as day.
