For all you avid readers out there:

Uncover a 12,000 year-old mystery that has lain hidden deep below the Great Sphinx…until now…

In the shadow of the Great Sphinx of Giza, two young archaeologists unearth extremely unusual artifacts dating over 12,000 years old. Not only could this change everything we thought we knew about Ancient Egypt, but the exhilarating find is wrong - very wrong. The artifacts shouldn’t be there…they shouldn’t even exist at all. The greatest discovery in human history may also turn out to be the deadliest…
