I buried them out of sheer pity in Arab fashion, weighing them �dowB-with-stones so the jackals wouldn't snuff them out and uncover them. Scheherazade helped me, grumbling at the smell and making my blood run cold with stories of hyenas who could scent a body through twenty feet of solid rock.
We stayed there that day, guarding the road north to Eilat from Sharem es-Sheikh and watting for orders. I lay in my pup tent in a rash of prickly hot

At about three o'clock in the afternoon Scheherazade burst into my tent in great excitement, his hair dishevelled and his clothes

"Isn't this tremendous?" Scheherazade was beside himself with excitement "I've been searching around the whole morning for something like this. You see, I was- thinking about what you were saying, you know, about making use of my talent for storytelling^ Now this cave, for ex-
happened: I saw part of the roof move, shedding dust just over Scheheraaade't head. "Scheherazade 1" I shouted to him, starting forward. "Move, you idiot!"
But it was too late. Before my horrified eyes he disappeared from view in a cloud of rnrki, sand and. grit I am not a religious or a superstitious man, bat for a fleet* ing second of atavistic savagery I believed that he was struck down as a punishment for his blasphemy. But I returned to more civil-iced feelings immediately, and rushed forward to try to help him. The rock-fall had ceased, and only a few pebbles still trickled down

Doc" he gasped, "come and see what I've found." He put his fingers to his lips with a conspiratorial gesture. "But promise me r=L ggt_a word to anyone I" ___ I followed him irritably out of my comfortable tent into the scorching hills, along a wadi lined with strata of brown and white rock looking for all the world like a luscious chocolate cake. As we went deeper this changed to parabolas of purple etched in delicate lines into the face of the sheer cliffs, coruscating green flashes from surface copper deposits, the sudden gleam of precious stones lying among gravel chips. Then, coming* sharply round a bend, I gasped at the tremendous sight before me: five tall columns of rose-pink sandstone to-
wered m rront of us, like an enormous natural grand organ carved by centuries of wind and erosion. I paused, thinking this was what Scheherazade wanted me to see. But he pulled me along impatiently � "Come on, that's ^nothing. .to�what�you'll see-^in� side!"
We climbed up to the columns. I could see now that the spaces between them were hollow. We passed through one of these narrow passages into an enormous hollowed-out chamber, about a hundred feet high and four hundred feet long. Fragile rock clust-ers hung from the roof like filigree lace; a row of massive lime-stone pillars supported the ceiling

I could leave Tel Aviv and come to live down here. I'd sell bits of rocks for souvenirs. Listen, I could make a fortune!"
I didn't know whether to be amused or shocked. "Really, Scheherazade," I exclaimed, "you of all people should appreciate that you can't just create a legend round .a particular place just by deciding in an arbitrary manner that something happened here. People won't come to a place unless they really believe that this is the true site of the event Be-gidea, you'll have

something else, I'm afraid � Moses died near Mount Nebo, in Jordanian territory, and the Talmud says his grave will never be found."
"O.K., O.K.," Scheherazade growled nnrepentantly, "so it'll �have to b� somethtng~erse7 But let me tell you that you're quite �wrong when you say that people have to believe a hundred per cent in the place they are visiting. D'you think anyone going to Mount Zion really believes that King David is buried there? No, of course not But they've come a long way from America or Eur-ope of Tol Aviv/ and they toemt to believe it Besides, ther have imagination, they try to think themselves into the history of the Bible. And that's the important thing." Schsierazade tappet nu on the chest, using the fall flow of his oratory: "Listen, at \this moment / feel that Moses died here and is burled in this cave � and I can make anyone else believe it tool"
"Well, you won't make me believe it!" I was getting angry. "You can't just juggle with history and geography and facts like that, in order to make a handsome living! Why, the archaeologists will come down on you like a ton of brick* I"
Scheherazade hardly listened to me. He was clambering towards the flat rock table in the center of the cave. I thought how much like an agile ape he looked, with his long arms and thrust-forward head. "Who cares for a bunch of moldy old scientists!" he shouted back. "Besides, it's not only for
