there are about twenty of us, men and boys, working here in the valley. Perhaps i can make friends later, but for now I'm going to write this diary and my diary can be my friend. there aren't any shops or cinemas here, so I need something to do in the evenings. And perhaps one day people are going to want to read my diary. Why? Well, perhaps we're going to find Tutankhamun's tomb, or a different king's tomb, or some new treasures. Egyptian tombs have lots of treasures in them, you know - gold and jewels. But thieves took treasures from many of the tombs in the past. And there are tom thieves in Egypt today,too.
