 * Finding the ElkHorn**
 * My name is Professor Mark Lining, and do I have a story to tell you. We were done in the ancient Greece world from the 3400 B.C.E. There was a legend that only the most valuable seeker was to find the ElkHorn and value it for life!!! As the legend goes, the ElkHorn was worth a lot of money back in those times. They say that it was worth over million coins. Which was the amount of forty five million dollars? But in the legend also goes when this paper is found the ElkHorn will be worth ten times more than it was in 3400 B.C.E. So if you do the math then you will need up with 45 trillion dollars. Before we left we marked the entire tomb that have been found so if we find a tomb and it's not on the map, then we might be closer!!!**

We went on our way to find the lost tomb and the ElkHorn. I brought with me all of my college, there are eight and that’s enough for all of the work that needs to be done. As we pushed ourselves on, one of my college’s, Matt, trip over something that could not be seen. There was no rock, there was nothing. So I went over there and started digging and digging. Then all of my colleges started to help. Finally after a long day of work, Matt hit something, it was a rock. We hoped it would be something, like the entrance to the tomb or a tomb. We all stopped, and looked at each other. I went over there and I got under the rock, push as hard as I could, then I push it up and out. With everyone closing their eyes, and hoping... I look and throw the shovel on the ground and walked away. There was more sand, it was a phony. But the good part was that the real tomb is somewhere near by. But the bad part was we wasted a whole day and we only have a week and a half left, and with all the work, we have to find the tomb tomorrow.

We all got up early the next day and started working. Of course someone trip, and we started digging. Not going to get into details... But we hit a rock and this time there was something under the rock. It was an entrance, a tunnel, a tomb un marked and I discovered it. We were getting closer. We did the entire test like any other time, and it was time to go down into the tunnel. Everyone except two people stayed up in case if anyone gets hart, everyone else went down, and was the one to lead! We were drawing and marking as we went so we could find our way back. We all split up into twos and went our separate ways. Matt and I found a door, and ordered everyone to come to thing spot right away. With all of the hard work we all put into it, we got the door open, and it was the moment of truth. That or I was a phony, but we were sure. Because from the last five days we have been down in this tunnel, we have opened over twelve doors. All of them are phonies.

Matt and I opened the door and a push of air made us all close our eyes. But inside there was a large stand, and on it was the ElkHorn. It was not the way I thought it would be, but it had been since 3400 B.C.E since anyone one has seen it. We have found it, we clam it, and it’s ours, and the tomb too. We put it in a protected box and packed up our stuff, and headed back toward the airport, so we could go home.

Everyone was surprised when I showed it to them. Because they all thought it would be impossible to find it. But I proved them wrong. When I was being interview, someone asked me "What are you going to do with all that money?" I had been thinking about that all night and here was my answer... "I'm not going to trade it for money, I'm going to keep it or put it back in the tomb." “Even though I found it, and I claimed it, it's ours, our tomb... I do not want it!" With everyone surprised, I went on "It's not ours, it's there’s, even though we claimed it, we will not keep it, even though we can keep it and eventually we will ruin it. "We will take it back in three months or so, that way we can investigate it.But when we are done the ElkHorn will be put back, and the door will be closed, and sand will be put back, and then entrance will be sealed as well.But the only thing I claim is the door. No one is allowed to open it, take the entire sand out, open the door to the ElkHorn and take.That is the only thing I claim."

After all of the excitement went down, I took it back. Everyday I think about it, how it looked, how it felted, and how much it was worth. But the one thing I don't think about is giving it up. Because it's not ours it's the Greek gods, I did not clam it, I do not want it. It's the Greek's and only the Greek. Until this day, and forever, no one can open it take the entire sand out, and steel the ElkHorn. Because that first door I claimed, and I will not let anyone touch it.
