a second, detailed guided tour by the eminent egyptologist. Despite the parties' concerns about him he does exhibit a good deal of knowlege on the subject and shows them many interesting and amazing objects and hieroglyphs .. Elsbeth takes a particular shine to the finely wrought gold bracelet of rubies and emeralds that is worn by the main mummy at the end of the burial passage. After a short period demurring Howard agrees that if they are to get more 'diggers' and others down here is is best of the most valuable and mobile objects are 'cataloged' and held in safe keeping by the 'team'.

Lovecraft references Nephren-Ka. Also known as the Black
Pharaoh, the last Egyptian pharaoh of the
Third Dynasty. Nephren-Ka began a worship
of Nyarlathotep and birthed the ideas that
later gave way to the Starry Wisdom that
swept through Egypt and the world. In the
course of this worship, he acquired the
Shining Trapezohedron from merchants of
Khem. Once in his possession, he built a
dark temple around it, committing
sacrifices to the Haunter of the Dark in
exchange for the creature’s limitless
knowledge. It was this exchange that
ultimately brought Nephren-Ka’s reign to an
end. Such were his deeds that his name was
struck from the monuments and other
records.
