This is my first attempt at writing a story with mystery in it. If it is accepted, I may do more,
-
Good. Do you have an idea?

Or maybe confirm them

There are several factors that Howard is finding confusing. The structure of the temple, being Greek in design. The artifacts they have found and the location of the temple. Howard has what we call a nagging thought, there is a difference and he can't put his finger on it.
-
There was a big difference between temples built and designed by the Greeks and Egyptian. Temperature differences were a large factor. The weather in Greece required a closed temple whereas the temples built in Egypt were essentially like a garden, open roofs. This was what confused Howard.

“Howard” I was lost in thought when Mostafa called my name. I almost fell Into the sand in front of me. “Mostafa, you scared me. I was lost in thought.” “What are you thinking?” “If the Greeks built this temple, it would follow the way temples were built in Greece at that time. If this is the front of the temple, we will see engraving in the pediment and the name of the person to whom this temple was dedicated.” “Are you still thinking this temple has something to do with Ale

I'll keep you in mind
-
I would have had a shovel with me as well.
-
Like thieves there is honor among archeologists
-
The Greek temples identification was at the top of the entry way. Howard hopes that by seeing what is engraved on that wall will give a clue. If what they are working oil is the back, then there will no engraving.
-
Yes it could be the back, it would be hard to tell the front or back on grecian temple until one end has been uncovered. All we know I that the temple is sitting north-south from the use of the instruments. That may be why Howard is excited.

I am well, this last week has been one of visits, my doctors insisted I come and see them. The problem I see one doctor and he recommends me to another doctor. Sometimes I think I had chosen the wrong profession.
-
If you expect a mummy, once we get into the temple. we will find out off your expectation is true.

Thanks, I hope you enjoy the rest of the story

As far as I know there have been unsuspected tombs found in Egypt and other places. I believe the field of archeology is alive and having expeditions have been a large draw for recruiting students. This story is fictional even though I have included some facts and will continue to do so. There have been stories written about Alexander III, 'the Great" that is based on other writings of the time, both Grecian and Roman. I am not as familiar with all of Josephus's works to comment if he included anything about Alexander.

I priced those coins and I thought they weren't cheap. I guess the silver content plus the age is worth the price. What is on the front and back of your coin.
-
I will check to see if they can use an Englishman to shovel the "sand"
-
Funding for these expeditions is usually through a university, museum and sometimes the government, in this case Egypt. As a result ant artifacts found are not the property of the team doing the expedition.

For Howard there was no other choice he was willing to resign if he didn't get his requested leave

Arriving back at the University, Mahmoud was there to meet me. I told him I thought the building was a Greek temple. “Howard, why would they build a Greek Temple in such a deflated place?” “I’m not sure that place was desolated in 332 BC. Suppose it wasn’t desolated. There could have been an oasis here which would make it a desirable place.” “If it was a desirable place, why a Greek temple? I would think the Egyptians would build a temple here. Under the Persians, the Egyptians were fo

I'll let you know when we are able to get into the temple. I think there was something not readily accepted by the populace unless there was something there to draw people. I'm sure Howard will tell us
-
I am with you. When I was a lad I had many thoughts about what I wanted to be. Archaeology was one and to some extent I still enjoy articles about their digs
-
Yes, but I think Howard will find a way to spend more time there
-
First they have to dig the building out. Between the wind and sand it won't be an easy job
