The Pursuit Of The Ivory Poachers - Plot & Excerpts
He looked at the uppercase letters again and thought about how to decipher the code. In his training, the GPF had taught him how to unscramble an “anagram.” Anagrams were jumbled letters that when put back into the right order spelled a word. He wrote out the letters again: ABTMNNHTAUSOEETKH Figuring the first thing Max would want to tell him was his location, he thought about places in Egypt where mummies could be found. There was the Valley of the Kings, but the letters in that word didn’t match Max’s code. He then thought about Thebes, where the Valley of the Kings was located. Sure enough, those letters were there. He crossed them out one by one. Then he took the letters that were left and wrote them out again: AMNNTAUOTKH Now, Jack reckoned, there was a pretty good chance that what remained spelled the name of the mummy close to where Max was working. Jack tried to remember all the tombs found in the Valley of the Kings. There was the tomb of Seti and Siptah. Then there were at least seven tombs belonging to Ramses.
