When Professor David Richardson was planning his long trip to Egypt, his wife Elina was not happy. However, Professor Richardson was not ready to miss the opportunity. Elina and kids can't join him due to kid's school. Professor Richardson is a scholar in the history department, Oxford university. His specialization is ancient Egypt.

Once he reached Egypt, Professor Richardson called Elina. He was telling Elina, "Wish you are here. You would have fallen in love with the blue water of Nile". Elina replied, "I am already in love with your blue eyes, Dave. I don't need the Nile. Come back soon".

After a lot of request, the curator of Museum of Cairo Abu Siddiqui Quereshi finally agreed to allow Professor Richardson to study th hieroglyphic inscribe at the coffin of the newest mummy discovered few month back. As it will difficult for Professor Richardson to concentrate when the general visitors are allowed, the curator allowed professor Richardson to visit the museum and investigate the mummy from 7pm to 9pm.

Professor Richardson reached the museum by 6:40pm. He is super excited today. The gatekeeper was already aware about professor Richardson's visit. He allowed him to go inside the museum and opened the gallery where the new mummy is kept.

Professor took out his notebook and pen. Cleaned the inscribe of the coffin with a brush very gently and started to decode the hieroglyph.

"MAY GOD OSIRIS FREE MUMMY SOUL AND ACCEPT MY SOUL" - Professor Richardson was reading the inscription while decoding the hieroglyph.

What the trash is this - Professor Richardson thought.

The gatekeeper went for a coffee in his quarter. When he returned, the gatekeeper saw the British professor is going out of the museum through the main gate. But it seems that the professor is unable to walk stedily - As if he is walking after a deep sleep. Professor should have wait for me to return - the gatekeeper thought. He was expecting a good tip from the foreigner professor.

Next day, few visitors in the Museum of Cairo were surprised seeing the deep blue eyes of the new mummy.

The British Airways flight 401 left Cairo and reached Heathrow airport next Sunday - one business class seat booked in the name of Professor David Richardson was vacant.
