You're too young.

This, as we know from our Camp David episode, is in the aftermath of the 1973 war.

Sadat is making peace with Israel.

Carter is pulling Sadat close to him.

Jimmy Carter, not Howard Carter.

Jimmy Carter, not Howard Carter, not to be confused.

And Tootin' Carmen goes off in the wake of all this round the states.

He goes to Washington, Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Seattle for three years between 1976 and 1979.

Toot is on the move.

And we even get a law case, don't we, when there's a policeman who has a stroke while guarding the treasure.

And his legal claim on the city is that the injuries resulted from the curse of the pharaohs.

History doesn't relate whether he got his injury claim with the curse of the Pharaoh.

And back in Egypt, of course, this is also being registered, and this whole business of Pharaoh being associated with Sadat, because in 1981, Sadat is assassinated by Khalid al-Istanbuli, and he says, I have killed Pharaoh.

Yes.

So all this is playing out at multiple levels.

And then you get Solomon is the symbol in the Quran of justice, and Pharaoh is the symbol of injustice, ironically.

Very interesting.

Anyway, then it goes off around Germany.

It's not the end of the tour.
