Evaluation: 4stars
This story is interesting I did not think that Maria is tomb robber. Author had the idea for this story in the back streets of Alexandria. In this story, there is the curse that people, who take the pharaoh’s treasure away from tomb, will die of cobra’s venom. In the last of this story, Tim and Maria ride a car together and they find white cobra in the car. This story is end in this scene. I think they will die soon.
