They knew that a team of six archaeologists discovered gold and other treasures there. 2- What did the robbers do in order not to be seen or heard by the archaeologists? - They used two land cruisers with local number plates. - They switched their lights and engines. - They stopped 200 metres from the tents of the archaeologists and walked 50 metres through darkness. 3- Why did the four men switch off their lights and engines when they reached the archaeological site? Because they did not want the archaeologists to see or hear them. 4- What did the archaeologists do with the gold objects? They sent them to the museum in Cairo. 5- What (equipment) did they use in the robbery? They used Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), a machine like a large camera connected to a computer, a pickaxe and a heavy hammer. 6- What equipment did the men use to see through walls? They used Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). 7- How did the machine (GPR) show what was behind the walls? It transmitted radio waves through the wall. When the waves hit something on the other side, they came back to it. The computer changed the radio waves into a picture. 8- What did the men find in the underground rooms? They found ancient Egyptian mummies, gold and other treasures. 9- Why were the men excited when they went through the gold doors of the tomb?

The spiders were biting them all. 12- Why did the oldest man of the robbers believe that the spiders were not deadly? Because there were not any deadly spiders in Egypt. 13- Why were the spiders an unknown species? Because no one had seen them and they were not on the database. 14- What did the pilot do when he saw robbers' cars below in the desert? He brought the helicopter down.

They were on their way to a transmitter in the desert, which had a technical problem. 16- In the pilot's opinion, what killed the four men? The pilot thought they had died of thirst. 17- How did the engineer save the pilot's life? When the engineer suggested getting on the radio to the police, the pilot left the car and returned to the helicopter. His hand had been near the spiders before he moved away. They could have bitten and killed him. 18- Where did the police drive the robbers' cars? The police drove the cars to the police station in the centre of a new town called Hamdayya, south west of Cairo. 19- Why could the police officer 'not believe his eyes' when he opened the boxes in the land cruisers?
