84 bucks is all we've got left,
and you spend $75 on a piece
of junk like that.
We'll never get
out of Egypt.
I know what I'm doing.
Is that right?
$75. It is as if
I am being robbed.
You're being
robbed?
Come on.
Good luck?
Poopsie, you're just
an 8-ball with hips!
This mark must mean
a hill or a mountain.
And these markings
translated give us
another name.
The Hill of
the Seven Jackals.
This square at the base
must indicate Ananka's tomb.
If we're right
and we find it...
Your place in archaeological
history is assured, Banning.
As important a find as
the tomb ofTutankhamen.
That sounds good,
this Hill of the 7 Jackasses?
We'll go in and ask
Professor Andoheb.
Professor Andoheb?
Professor Andoheb?
Oh, come in,
gentlemen.
Professor Andoheb,
this is Mr. Banning.
How do you do?
And Mr. Jenson.
I've heard of
Mr. Banning.
I had no idea that
my work had attracted...
the attention of
so great a scientist.
Yes, I believe I have
the facts correct.
The Temple of the Sun
in the Gobi Desert,
the Inca ruins in Mexico,
the lost Himalaya city.
Arresting achievements
for so young a man.
Well, of late my luck
hasn't been so good.
[Dr. Petrie]
But it's changed again.
in a native bazaar.
This is quite unique.
It is very interesting.
You think so?
These hieroglyphics
are amazingly clear.
We thought that...
Without doubt,
it's one of the cleverest
imitations I have ever seen.
Imitation?
Oh yes, that is
quite apparent.
Surely you weren't
taken in, Dr. Petrie?
As a matter of fact...
What makes you think
this is not authentic?
Think,
Mr. Banning?
I have devoted my entire
life to the study of
Egyptian relics.
And I have, if you'll
pardon my saying so,
achieved some standing
as an authority.
I know your
reputation, sir...
During the many years
I have been with
the Cairo Museum...
we have handled ten,
possibly a dozen vases
exactly like this.
The bazaars do a thriving
business selling them
to the tourists.
Do you mean to say that
we chucked all that dough
into the gutter?
That is a very colorful
way of putting it,
Mr. Jenson.
I might as well have
stayed in Brooklyn.
That gutter was
paved with the
good intentions...
of many enthusiastic
but mistaken young
archaeologists.
Pardon me, professor,
but I'm inclined to
disagree with you.
Naturally you are
entitled to your own
opinion, Mr. Banning.
If the tomb of Ananka
the Hill of the 7 Jackals,
wouldn't it be worth
the museum's while to
finance an expedition?
No.
In the first place,
this evidence is
obviously manufactured.
Secondly, there have been
