"Why, it's my missing ring! But how... that door hasn't been opened in 8,000 years." So then "Holy cow," the reader thinks, "must be mummies." Who knows what the scientists themselves are supposedly thinking, since they obviously don't believe in mummies. This fine point is left unaddressed.<BR/><BR/>In reality, I imagine the dialog to be something like: "Why, that's MY ring, hang it all. The natives must have already looted the place.
