The Pyramid of Heaven and the Acacia Palace

Memories from October 6, 2012

Tony went back to Egypt in search of the treasures he's still missing to complete the collection. He expects to have better luck this time.

First, he went to the Al Simhara Market to sell the harvest from his garden.

There he visited some secret passages in search of treasures.

But there wasn't much to be discovered.

He by to visit his great-great grandmother, Salah Kamel, his great grandfather Farid Kamel's mother.

Then he inspected the basement at his friend Fatima Amin's house, cause he found out there could be chests with relics there.

But he didn't find anything truly valuable in Fatima's house.

So, by the evening he was on his way home.

Apparently the treasures that used to be in some some basements in Al Simhara weren't there anymore. They may have ended up in the hands of the relic merchant. If this happened, Tony will have to buy them from him at a very high price.

Lea Dutiel called that night, all of her friends in Champs Lesims keep in touch with him, but Lea especially calls him at all times.

The next morning, although tired, Tony is ready to go out again in search of relics.

Excavating has turned into an addictiion for him.

After excavating for hours, he freshens up bit to go sell his relics at the market.

Already at the market, a fan asks him for an autograph.

Tony feels so lonely that he promises himself that in his next trip to Al Simhara, he will bring Cassandra and the kids. But first, he will have to buy a bigger vacation house, with enough space for everyone.

  
"By tomorrow I'll fix that, now to sleep".

Early in the morning he goes to do business with the relic merchant, at the store he ran into his great-great grandmother Salah again.

He was excavating next to the Oasis.

And in the burning Al Simhra desert.

Even at night he continued excavating in search of treasures for his Private Museum, but he wasn't successful.

The next day he didn't find much either and had to go back home exhausted and with his hands empty.

While he was excavating outside the Acacia Palace, he daydreamed about how incredible it would be if he could buy a property like that.

He called the real estate to know how much the Acacia Palace would cost. 237,000 simoleons! He's 7,000 short, he'll have to find many more relics to sell. He wished he was well paid for the ones he had found today. 

He'd have to work a lot in the days he has left in Al Simhara, but it would be worth it! Cassandra and the kids would love a house like that.

On his way to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut.

Back in the burning desert.

 Tony excavated tirelessly in search of relics.

He excavated near his house too.

He visited the Pyramid of Heaven.

He pushed the statue that was standing outside the pyramid and a set of stairs appeared. What treasures would await him in those cellars?

The first thing he found was a hidden door.

Out of it came a mummy! Tony passed out, but he can't remember why, if the mummy attacked him or if it was because of the shock. He's not used yet to deal with this dangerous beings.

But the scare with the mummy wasn't in vain, cause the next morning, already fresh and rested, he sold the relics that he had found in the Pyramid of Heaven.

That was it, he spent his last day in Egypt reading about the Al Simhara's history.

At home he relaxed in the hot tub.

By the evening he called the real estate and bought the Acacia Palace. Tony spent all his savings in it, but it's fine, selling relics he will get by. The important thing is that he will be able to bring his family to live in a palace. :)
