So Deep There Was Not Much Headroom

Pearce Paul Creasman had been waiting for his colleague at the base of the stairway. He was also an archaeologist and worked under a grant courtesy of National Geographic. However, he had some words of warning for his colleague. He told her, “It’s really deep today. There’s not going to be any headroom in the first chamber.” And indeed, he was also chest-deep in the dark waters by then.

He First Checked It Out A Few Weeks Ago

Just a couple of weeks before this, Creasman got his opportunity to check out the flooded tomb for himself. Together with Romey, he now planned to go three chambers deep and find out more about a sarcophagus that had been untouched for centuries. Before they managed to this, he showed her a metal grated and told her that she needed to go through a small opening to reach the catacomb!
