Lara reaches the surface through a rocky outcropping in the desert
that no one would have thought concealed an entrance to a tomb. Using
her compass, Lara makes her way back to the main dig site and finds
Professor Malik and Ahmed.
Lara hands the mask to Malik who identifies the visage on the mask
to be that of Ankhesenamun, Tutankhamun's widow2.
"So that is the significance of this tomb" Malik eplains. "You
have discovered that this section of Tutankhamun 's tomb was prepared
for his widow.
Lara leans close and examines the mask and notices the age of the
woman's face. "She must have survived Tutankhamun by many years,"
Lara points out.
Malik nods and looks up at Lara, "Lara, how can I..."
Before Malik can finish thanking Lara, she cuts him off, "Think
nothing of it, my friend. I must be off now. After all, I have an
article to write." Lara gives him a wink, turns and walks away.
