- Leila was a woman of principles as she decided not to study under the supervision of Dr Hafez in Cairo and did her degree in Rome, at the Italian Institute of Archaeology because people might think he was giving a special treatment. Leila was experienced, as she worked with Dr Hafez before in the Valley of the Nobles in Luxor where they discovered a tomb which had wonderful paintings of birds and animals on the walls. -Leila suspected Martin as he asked her more questions and when
she was half asleep, he tried to look through the papers in the pocket in the seat in front of her.

Pablo who worked for the Peruvian Ministry of Culture told Leila that the Peruvian heritage was as valuable as the Egyptian heritage.
