Nancy Drew: Tomb of The Lost Queen Quiz

Answer: He is knocked out

Nancy was given a recommendation by Franklin Rose to jobshadow archaeologist Jon Boyle. Jon is the expedition leader of a dig about 100 kilometres from Cairo. It is the tomb of a lost queen of Egypt. Franklin Rose first appeared in the sixth game in the series "Secret of the Scarlet Hand", as a board member of the Beech Hill museum in Washington.

In the opening cutscene there is a flashback of an expedition 60 years ago to the tomb. The expedition members disappeared and were never found. The game then switches to present day, where a sandstorm appears in the camp. After the storm dies down, Jon is found lying on the ground. He later calls Nancy from the hospital, explaining to her that someone knocked him out.

Answer: Nefertari

Nefertari was the wife of Ramses II. The official tomb of Nefertari was QV66 in the Valley of Queens. When the tomb was discovered, they only found her kneecaps. The sarcophagus was not there. In this game the team is trying to find out whether the tomb they are researching is the real tomb of Nefertari. Naturally this is the point in the game where real historic facts start turning into fiction.

During the course of the game Nancy manages to unearth new parts of the tomb. Her map is adjusted every time she discovers a new hallway. After a long series of puzzles, she finds herself at a golden tomb. In it she does find the remains of Nefertari.

Answer: Senet

In the main tent Nancy can play the game of Senet. Her fellow crew member Lily Crewe explains the rules to Nancy. Lily is part of the team of archaeologist Abdullah Bakhoum, where Nancy works for the expedition leader Jon Boyle. The exact rules of the original game are somewhat up to debate, but mostly it is played by using pawns. In this PC game it is played by using five sticks. Depending on the colour that falls up when you throw them, you get to move a certain amount of spaces. The first one to get to the end of the board wins.

The Senet board has five special symbols. Nancy needs to learn the meaning of those symbols, as they turn out to be essential to opening the tomb at the end of the game. She determines the correct order by using Jon's notes. The crucial part of the notes was missing for most of the game, but is found back near the end.

Answer: Tour Guide

It is rather surprising to have Dylan turn up to a dig about 100 kilometres from Cairo. The site is not on any map. By his own account he hitched a ride with some guys going that way, but hardly anyone believes that. Dylan works as a tour guide. He says he wants to survey the scene, so he can be one of the first guides to give tours there, when the research has been completed.

Dylan acts very charming towards Nancy, but also has eyes for Lily. Nancy remains suspicious towards him during the game. She suspects he may have ties with the black market, trying to steal and sell precious artifacts.

Answer: Sonny Joon

Jarmila El-Dine is a rather strange character. She is not officially allowed to be on the dig site. She does research at the tomb, as she believes it was built by aliens, or the Annunaki as she calls them. Her interest in aliens came from following a course given by Sonny Joon. Nancy has never met Sonny up till that point. A few times he had a job just before her or is mentioned in some way in connection to a case. He was the intern at Beech Hill in "Secret of the Scarlet Hand" and also worked for fashion designer Minette in "Danger by Design". Nancy will eventually meet Sonny in game 30 of the series "The Shattered Medallion".

Soon Nancy learns there is more to Jamila than meets the eye. In her backpack there is a book about archaeology. She appears to be on a mission of her own, having nothing to do with aliens at all. This is much to the dislike of Abdullah Bakhoum, who tries to get rid of her.

Answer: Beatrice Hotchkiss

Professor Beatrice Hotchkiss was first introduced in the fourth game of the series "Treasure in the Royal Tower". In that game she studied French history, particularly Marie Antoinette. Later Nancy talks to her on the phone in game 17 "Legend of the Crystal Skull", quizzing her about the legend and the probability of someone owing one of these skulls.

In this game Nancy has a book written by Professor Hotchkiss about Egyptian queens. In the book is also her phone number. During the game Nancy frequently contacts her to find out more about Nefertari, for instance about the sons and daughters of Nefertari. This information helps her open a smaller tomb. During the game Professor Hotchkiss asks Nancy to gather information for her. If you answer all questions, you will win one of the awards in the game.

Answer: Abdullah and Lily have a fight

Nancy finds her way to the upper level of the tomb with the help of some pillars that form a path up. At the upper level, she finds a special painting and some diary entries of the previous expedition. In these entries there is a reference to "The Daughters of Nefertari". This organization aims to preserve the bloodline of Nefertari, making sure that archaeologists do not harm her legacy.

As Nancy is in the upper part of the tomb, she overhears a fight between Lily and Abdullah. Abdullah is very dissatisfied with her work and threatens to remove her from the team. Abdullah is a briliant archaeologist, but he is as arrogant as he is brilliant. He considers most other people as stupid. Nancy is not impressed by his attitude. She is also not impressed by Lily, who seems to be freaking out somewhat by the fact that various plagues occur at the site. She believes the site is cursed.

Answer: One of the tents is set on fire

During the game various accidents occur, somewhat resembling the various Egyptian plagues. The water tank is pierced by a sharp object, leaving the team without water. Somewhat later the tank is full of beetles. Also a flashlight burns out and Nancy finds a cobra on her bed.

It becomes obvious that someone is trying to chase the team away, probably to be able to steal artifacts and sell them on the black market. Another technique used is called "staging". In that case certain artifacts suddenly appear in the tomb to make it look more interesting. At one point Nancy finds a mummy in a tomb that was previously empty.

Answer: Part of the tomb collapses

At one point in the game, Nancy finds a tomb dedicated to cats. At the entrance are various cat statues. Just as she unearths this part of the tomb, Dylan appears and says he will go ahead of her. Suddenly part of the tomb collapses and a pile of rocks lands on Dylan. He spends the rest of the game in the hospital with severe injuries.

Nancy learns that the name of Nefertari's cat was Meskhenet. Writing the name of the cat in symbols helps her find the right path to the golden tomb, containing the body of Nefertari.

Answer: Abdullah Bakhoum

Abdullah is found to be the culprit. He wanted fame and has ties to the black market. He forced Lily to help him out. She was the one that most likely knocked out Jon. She also appears at the end of the game when Nancy finds the final tomb. As another part of the tomb collapses, Lily is trapped. With the help of Jarmila, Nancy manages to escape the tomb via a special exit (the entrance was blocked). Abdullah tries to stop her, but is knocked out by Jon, who returned to the site just in time.

At the end of the game it is revealed that Dylan tried to get in on the black market. Abdullah did not want him in on it though, resenting his presence on the site. Jarmila turns out to be a member of "The Daughters of Nefertari". Her real aim was to protect her legacy, not to find aliens. She only used that as a cover to do research.
