At the Dig Site ...

Between the settlement of Sidi al Bunzi and Wadi El Swere are the ruins of the temple of Amun built by Amenemhet I; not far from the temple an archaeological excavation led by Dr Diana Jones is in progress .... they are searching for the pyramidion of Senusret I - known as the 'Giver of Light'.

---oXo---

Reg Butler (dig foreman) had gone for a short walk before the work of the day to see Wadi El Swere and the desert beyond...


As Reg headed back to the dig site, Dr Diana Jones and her assistant John Hadley had left Sidi al Bunzi and were walking to the dig site...
They passed by the temple of Amun ...
and on to the dig site where she checked in with Harry Robson on what was planned for today ...
They went to see the their new area of interest, a small building nearby the temple, the diggers were getting their instruction  ....
Diana Jones felt more secure now with the men sent by Colonel Polkington guarding the dig site ....

to be continued ....
