NARRATION 3: THE ENIGMA

Buried alive in their own private chamber beneath the fallen rocks, their
source lights illuminated a fissure in the recessed wall which had opened
just wide enough for them to pass through.
Immediately they were faced with a network of caves, one of which
appeared to exude minute traces of natural light.
Selecting this route, they found themselves stepping through a walled
gallery of hieroglyphic art, a seemingly never-ending pastiche of ancient
man and his constant struggle for survival.
They knew, from Professor Lidenbrook's documentation, that on his
journey two hundred years previously, he himself had encountered a
giant herdsman in earth's inner sanctum.
As they strove to decipher the enigma that surrounded them, they
realised that having already survived many thousands of years of almost
static evolution within this magical kingdom beneath the earths crust, it
was not inconceivable that this species of man still existed, and it was to
his world that they had come uninvited, and almost certainly unwelcome.
