Die Bücher von Andy Hermann

How dangerous is a papyrus more than twice as old as the origins of Egyptian civilization? What deadly secret does it hold?

A Berlin archaeology professor bought the papyrus cheaply in Cairo as a forgery, intending it as a souvenir for his wife. But he is soon relentlessly hunted, as mysterious Egyptians desperately want the papyrus back. No translation is allowed.

But it's too late. His daughter Anna, an aspiring anthropologist, and her boyfriend, an IT expert, have succeeded in translating it using IT and artificial intelligence, and Julia, a Hamburg journalist, has caught wind of the story and senses a major scoop.

Everyone wants to go to Cairo, but only Julia knows Alwin, the adventurer with whose help they conduct secret investigations. They have no idea of the deadly danger they are putting themselves in as they illegally venture into the underground of the Giza Plateau like tomb raiders.

Does the Chamber of Knowledge, which Herodotus is said to have known about, lie down there?

Will they find evidence of a lost, ancient, high-tech civilization deep beneath the desert, or will they all perish in the subterranean labyrinth?

Was there an ancient civilization tens of thousands of years ago whose highly advanced technology is unimaginable to modern science?

Professor Steiner, his daughter Anna, a young anthropologist, and Fabian, an AI expert and Anna's ex-boyfriend, are translating ancient papyri from Egypt to find these high-tech artifacts. The papyri describe a Thunderbird as an all-destroying weapon.
