Since a little over 400 years ago when the Black man was robbed and stolen from his habitat along the banks of the Nile and herded onto American soil like cattle, Black and White have been together, yet separate. But from that very moment that the first black foot was planted on undeveloped American soil, the Black man has toiled long years, tilling the soil, building the bulwark structures of this country, and permeating the earth with his tears, blood and even his life...
Ibis had his baptism by baptism at 11 a.m. Having graciously consented to serve as the object of the treasure hunt, Ibis settled into the chlorine-scented depths of the Adams pool sustaining life through a primitive papyrus-reed snorkel, a memento of Ibis's original Nile home.

One by one, twelve cars drew up to the door, and out of each stepped a neatly dressed civilian or high-ranking military officer, accompanied by a second officer and two soldiers. Inside the yellow stone villa, television cameras whirred and flashbulbs popped as the twelve men nodded quietly to friends and relatives, occasionally stopping to shake hands.
