Cześć, tu Carter. Howard Carter.To ja odkryłem wypełniony skarbami grobowiec faraona Tutenchamona i jako pierwszy człowiek zobaczyłem mumię liczącą ponad trzy tysiące lat! Myślicie, że to straszne?

Pragnąłem przygód oraz wyzwań. Przemierzyłem piaski pustyni oraz morza. Walczyłem ze sztormami, burzami piaskowym...
