Of course there's some art-deco pieces in the chamber. This panel is above one of the doors, the ducks seem to really like it.

Mar caution now...don't get sucked in by DP's talk of art-deco....if the ducks like it then the chances are you probably won't

Hooray - there is indeed an E

I know that it's risky even THINKING about the anti-gravity chamber - but I do love that carved panel - I wonder where it was before it went into the chamber????

Funny you should ask about the panel, especially today June 9, Howard Carter’s birthday. Because Howard Carter, the discover of Tutankhamen’s tomb, and this panel are closely linked. Seems when Mr. Carter visited New York in 1924 he noticed this panel above a doorway and was so intrigued he asked for a ladder so he could examine it closer.
It is said that the panel “seemed to glow” when he passed his hand over it.
At any rate, as you know Howard Carter is the only one of the Tutankhamen tomb party to escape the “curse of the pharaohs” - some say it was because he touched this panel, others point to his life-long appreciation of all things…… duck!
All I know is, Howard Carter liked ducks, escaped a curse and lived a long life.
It’s up to you to connect the dots.
I’m going with a P.

When I meet Howard Carter, I must say thanks to him :O - hopefully, though, it won't be for a looooooooooooong time

Wow, that P was a pure guess. And with that I’m off for a few days to test the upgrades on the chamber.

Wow!  That's certainly something to think about!
Hmph what about a vowel? Time for an A?
