تم اعداد الإضاءة اللازمة، كما تم عمل فتحة صغيرة في البوابة المختومة، تسمح بدخول جسم انسان.
حينها تبددت كل الشكوك، وتأكدنا من مكافأتنا بانتصارٍ أثريٍ عظيم.
وفي تلك اللحظة التي بلغت فيها الاثارة والحماس ذروتهما، قدِم المرسال الينا بالخبر الحزين، حيث آتي لاهثاً ليخبرني عن ثعبان الكوبرا الذي اقتحم المنزل متوجهاً ألي الغرفة [تلك التي نجلس بها حالياً] مروراً بالممر، ليلتف حول أحد قوائم المنضدة التي وضع عليها قفص الطائر، وقام بقتل طائري.
وعندما بدأت في استيعاب ما حدث، أدركت دلالة هذه المصادفة الغريبة رغم الاثاره العارمة لتلك اللحظة التي رأينا فيها محتويات الغرفة السابقة لغرفة الدفن على ضوء الشموع، وكشف الضوء رأس تمثال الملك وعلي جبهته رمز الملكية والحماية –الكوبرا.
وقت استيقاظ رؤساء العمال كان مرعباً: حيث كانت صورة الحية التي انهت حياة الطائر مازالت أمام أعينهم!
