Re: Various Locations - The Hotel Cairo
Professor Michael Robinson arrives to greet the arriving heroes at Hotel Cairo. He is an elderly man who has studied Egyptian cultures all of his adult life. "A few days ago, I uncovered something that would put my name in every Egyptology text book published for the rest of time. I found a tablet upon which were some ancient hieroglyphics. It appeared to have been purposefully defaced, as if to hide what was on it, but I could make out the forms of men carrying the huge blocks from which the pyramids were built. I've begun developing a theory that the pyramids were built through the labor of exceptionally strong people, like yourselves!"
The professor goes on to explain the lack of evidence for his theory to the fact that someone or some group of people obviously tried to destroy all records of such a fact. As an example, he cites the fact that it appears as if someone had tried to destroy the hieroglyphics which he has recently uncovered.
Professor Robinson would like for the heroes to be with him at the time that he presents his theory to the gamut of Egyptian scholars in a few days. He feels that the heroes’ own personal powers will lend credence to his theory. Even better would be if one of the heroes has super-strength himself. Next best would be if the heroes have fought a well known villain with super-strength.
Professor Robinson explains that the meeting is in two more days. He informs them that he has some more preparation which must be made, but he welcomes the heroes to have a look around and enjoy the sites/sights in the meantime. Professor Robinson will also mention that the curator of the Cairo Museum, once he heard that the heroes were coming for a visit, offered to give them a personally guided tour of the museum. Professor Robinson suggests that they accept the offer, for, he notes, there are few who know as much as Manuel (the curator) about Egyptian culture. Professor Robinson would like to meet back at the hotel at 9:00 AM two days later.
