The Adventures of Tintin. Cigars of the Pharaoh

The story begins on a cruise ship, where Tintin meets the eccentric Philemon Cyclone, an Egyptologist professor who dreams of finding the tomb of Pharaoh Khy-Oska. Tintin stands up for the scientist before the movie mogul Rastapopoulos, but then drugs are planted in his cabin and police officers Dupond and Dupont put him in the hold under arrest. Tintin manages to escape. On the shore, he meets the professor and joins his expedition. An ancient papyrus leads them to a tomb, the entrance to which is marked with the sign of Khy-Oska. There is exactly the same sign on a cigar found by Milou nearby. And in the tomb itself, Tintin discovers a whole warehouse of such cigars! He also sees sarcophagi with the mummies of scientists who tried to uncover the secret of the pharaoh. And among them, three are empty - for Tintin, Milu and the professor, who, as if on purpose, has disappeared somewhere... So Tintin accidentally stumbles upon the trail of an international drug trafficking organization. Fate throws him first into the Arabian desert, and then to India, where he manages to neutralize the top of the gang, with the exception of the mysterious leader, who met his death at the bottom of the gorge. But the story does not end there. Its continuation awaits us in the next volume, "The Blue Lotus".
