As soon as something takes place in Egypt, I get excited about it. I like Egypt. Here, moreover, you see Hercules in Egypt, who is absolutely unsuited to the sand and heat. This is also a beautiful contrast. Agatha managed to brilliantly explain how the curse of the tomb can work if it's exploited by an intelligent and twisted person who knows a bit about psychology.
