The Treasure Thief

The great Pharaoh Ramses III gathered gold, silver, and precious stones; however, he knew that the more his hoards grew, the more thieves would come to steal it. As a result, he has his Master Builder, Horemheb, build him a mighty treasure house to keep his treasure safe. However, Horemheb played Pharaoh false and added a secret passage into the treasure house. Afterward, Horemhed fell ill and on his deathbed told his two sons of the secret passage. As a result, Pharaoh’s treasure grew less and less, but Pharaoh did not understand for the Royal Seals were not broken. Meanwhile, the two brothers continued to obtain the treasures so Pharaoh placed a series of traps. In fact, the first trap took the life of one of the brothers. However, the second son, through his cunning abilities, avoided all of Pharaoh’s traps. As soon as Pharaoh realized how cunning the thief was, he sent out a pardon to forgive the thief, and Pharaoh had the son married to his daughter and became a royal servant for the rest of his times.
