It's 318 BC in the deserts of Libya, and Alexander the Great is buried as only a God should be, placed in a Crystal Sarcophagus in a catacomb of chambers, each packed with diamonds, rubies and gold.

When a tomb is uncovered on the construction site of a new hotel, Daniel believes he has found the clue to what he has been working towards for years.
