The pyramidion is found ....

Continued from here

After they had removed some rubble and as they dug away the sand, the tip of the pyramidion was seen - hastily they dug away the remaining sand - there it was - the 'Giver of Light'...

The pyramidion was eased out of the ruined building and a crate made ready for it...
The pyramidion was packed in the crate ready for pickup by the daily lorry which took the major finds back to Cairo.  It was late in the afternoon and the lorry had not arrived - it had overheated a mile or so on the other side of Sidi Al Bunzi.. a faulty hose would need to be fixed ...

---oXo---

Word on the discovery of the pyramidion soon reached other interested parties in Sidi Al Bunzi; a dubious antiquities dealer instructs his men to obtain it ....
A group of men from the 'Rule of Six' have moved up the Wadi Al Swere and are about to make their move to take the pyramidion for their own nefarious purposes...

to be continued
