Quote context

[...]

- I remember the opening of Princess Ananka's tomb. She was high priestess to a pagan god, Karnak.

- We have reason to believe that over 100 people were put to death during her funeral rites.

- Most probably.

- And Karnak wasn't a particularly important deity, a third-rate god.

- Not to those who believed in him.

- Perhaps not. But their standard of intelligence must have been remarkably low.

- Why do you say that?

- He was insignificant. He had nothing to commend him to anyone with the slightest degree of intelligence.

- But surely, you're assuming a great deal.

- I don't think so.

- I made an extensive study of this so-called religion. It's based upon artificial creeds and beliefs, some of them ludicrous in the extreme.

- Did it ever occur to you that beneath the superficial you've learnt about, there could be a great and passionate devotion to this God?

- It occurred to me, but I dismissed it.

- You're intolerant, Mr Banning.

- Not intolerant, just practical.

- Intolerant.

- Because you're unable to experience the greatness of a deity, you dismiss it as of no consequence.

An Egyptian? -So the locals say. Though it's my belief they wouldn't know an Egyptian from a Chinese acrobat.
The mummy. It's waiting. It's always there.
Now you talk about something of which you know nothing. You've scratched only the surface and you know nothing.
There are certain things for which civilisation has no answer.
He who robs the graves of Egypt dies.
