Dear Students,

I am an ancient history teacher at the Seneca Valley Middle School.  A few days ago I received an unexpected package in a box marked "First Class."  When I opened the package, what I saw shook me to the core!  I was literally paralyzed with fear.

Maybe I should back up a few years... In 2002 I attended an archaeological conference where I met the Director of Antiquities at The Cairo Museum, Dr. Tahi Hawass.  We discussed various ancient sites and upcoming archaeological digs.  It was then that he revealed his intention to launch an expedition to search for an artifact known only as the Hexagon.  When I heard the dark legend associated with this object, something inside me knew that this was a very bad idea.  I cautioned him against excavating such a relic, warning him that nothing good could come of this endeavor. 

When I opened the package and saw the Hexagon box sitting on my classroom table.  I knew that he hadn't listened.  The ancient Egyptians and Israelites used hexagon boxes to ritually seal things which were regarded as being evil.  Legend says that King Solomon would seal djinn into hexagon shaped containers.  This however is unique and much more terrifying.  I cannot tell you what lies with the Hexagon for fear that you could not handle such knowledge.  I wish I did not know what is inside.  Believe me, you will sleep much better at night not knowing!

However, if you wish to pursue this knowledge, you must contact Dr. Tahi Hawass via email through The Cairo Museum Web site.  The link is shown below.  If you choose to do this, I am not responsible for what may happen. 

Sincerely,

Mr. Jay D'Ambrosio, M.A.
