5 Assessment before they start actual work

When they came back, professor Ahmed was waiting for them on the lawn.

"Hello Professor, how was your day..? We went to visit the national museum," Jonathan cheerfully greeted him.

"It's good that you have gone to the museum. Tomorrow, you all go to the library and get a handful of information about the Egyptian dynasty and mummification," professor Ahmed nodded at them and gave this assessment.

"Professor, it's not even a day we came here. You are giving us assignments already" Jonathan looked at him pitifully.

"Young boy! We are not here for a vacation. If we finish our work early, we may have time to play around," Ahmed reminded and added, "Alright! go and fresh up, we will have dinner shortly."

"Fadil brings you to the library tomorrow," he looked at the guide.

Listening to this, Diana asked, "professor, are you not going to come with us..?"

To which he replied, "Nope! I am going to visit the official archeology department to finish some paperwork. you guys finish the assessment, okay..?"

All of them nodded at him in yes and went to their rooms. 'Being an archeologist gives you the privilege to learn about history without any problems, ' Diana thought to herself.

She accepted this internship only to learn about mummies and Egyptian culture. For a regular archeologist, she is a bit different.

As soon as she came out of the washroom, Jonatha barged into her room without knocking it again.

Looking at her, he smirked, "too bad. You can't seduce me. Your chest is too flat for a man to like you."

"Get out of my room, you idiot. Why do you always barge into my room without knocking?" Diana hit him with a pillow.

Dodging it swiftly with one hand, Jonathan replied, "come on, why should I be polite with my childhood buddy? Moreover, I never felt like you are a grown woman," scrutinizing her up and down.

"shameless stupid fellow," stomping her foot, she went back into the washroom to change her clothes.

He settled himself on the bed and started searching for something on his phone. Diana came out in 5 minutes, and they went to have a look at the private beach.

"if uncle sees you are wearing this, he may get a heart attack based on his conservative thoughts," Jonathan whistled at her.

You are not a woman, so you don't know how protective of your father. I guess all fathers are like him," she replied proudly, flipping her dark black hair.

Rupert and Charles were already waiting for them at the beach when they reached. They casually talked while walking along the coast.

After some time, Diana sat on the sand and started looking straight, particularly at nothing. There were some people nearby her talking about some temple.

"Guys, I am tired. I will rest for a bit here. You guys continue," saying she moved a bit closer to the group of people.

"I am a tourist and would like to know something about this place, so can I join you guys," she asked the group of people.

The women in the group agreed and welcomed her with smiles. "Young lady! Whatever do you like to know about this place, we will tell you," one of them suggested.

"she might not know anything about the place, as she is a tourist, we should tell her whatever you know as the local people," another suggested.

A man who seems like the head of the group said, "Alright! Stop arguing. Young lady, you may know that Alexander, the great found the city, but King Shepseskaf of the old kingdom built a village named Rhacotis as the memory of his son."

Diana sat on one of the chairs and asked interestingly, "what do you mean by old Kingdom, sir..?"

"Aah! it seems the old man got someone to tell our history, come on, let us leave and have some fun," the group of people starting leaving one by one.

Diana looked a bit troubled as she disturbed their peace, but one of them assured her, "have a nice time, with our elder and child, don't worry, he will be more enthusiastic while talking about our ancient times."

The old man named Osiris said, "the ancient kingdom is the time where the fourth dynasty kingdom built the great pyramid; it's also called the Age of Pyramids.

In history, Egypt pharaohs belonged to thirty-plus dynasties starting from King Narmer and ended with the Ptolemaic dynasty, pharaoh Caesarion, the queen Cleopatra's son.

By the time of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, mummification had become standard practice in handling the deceased, and mortuary rituals grew up around death.

Shepseskaf is the last king of the fourth dynasty. It said he lost his favored wife's son to an internal battle and built Rhacotis in his memory.

In the fourth dynasty, pharaohs ruled over a kingdom of peace and tranquility, teaching the people the arts of agriculture, civilization and granting men and women equal rights to live together in balance and harmony.

The rumors in those days said no one had seen his wife after losing her beloved son. They believed he would rise to resurrection one day in the modern period."

Diana looked at him as if Osiris was deliberately making her believe in the afterlife.

"Young child, I can understand your doubts, but in the ancient times of Egypt, our first Osiris was a popular god with his sister-wife, Isis. So we Egyptians strongly believe in preserving our pharaohs and the afterlife," the old man Osiris answered.

She nodded at him, and then he proceeded, "the son's name is Radames, a born prince. It's said, the Prince was quite fearless and never healed to anyone.

The king himself taught him all the royal etiquettes and learnings making him the most favored child" Osiris about to continue but stopped by his grandson, and he took him back home.

"I will come back again at the same time, dear child. If I see you again, we will continue from where I left," he shouted back, not looking at her.

Diana sank in the information he gave to her and sat there until Jonathan came and startled her.

"You idiot! Why did you shout like that" she shrieked, patting on her chest.

"what! Our brave girl got frightened just from Jonathan's shriek," Rupert commented, and the remaining two laughed.

"Whatever," she brushed them off and started walking far from there. "okay! Okay, don't be angry now," Jonathan followed her pleading.

"Hey! stop pretending as if you are ignoring me for real" listening to this, Diana glared at Jonathan.

She ignored his pleas, to which he said, "Fine, fine! Let it be, okay..?"

She didn't even look at him, and then he surrendered, "Okay, okay! I am sorry. What were you thinking so deep sitting there..?" he asked.
