"It is the characteristic of intelligent races manifesting itself curiosity," pointed out Stel Felso Theu. "Are these the type of men still living in this valley, or who will be living there in fifty thousand years?" asked Zezdon Afthen. "I'd say they weren't Egyptians as we know them, but typical Neolithic men.

Perhaps you will understand it. The thing is fully charged now, for it is, in part, one of the defenses of the city. Examine it now, and then I will show its power."

Arcot's face was white once more as he thought of the danger he had run, of the terrible consequences possible of that 'amusement. "I think we had best start on the ship. I'll go get some sleep now, and then we can go." Arcot led the way to the ship, while Torlos, Morey and Wade and Stel Felso Theu accompanied him.
