Hello Egyptian-pandas!

Panfu is indeed a very mystical, Egyptian-like place at the moment!

The sarcophagus on the beach looks like it came straight out of a real Egyptian pyramid…who knows?

Perhaps there is a curse on who ever was in it? 

Oh Max, stop it, you’re making me and the other pandas scared. Let’s change the subject…

Today we have 3 tricky questions for you to mull over. How much do you know about ancient Egypt?

 Here are the questions with three possible answers but only one it right!

1. What is the strange writing found inside pyramids called? They look quite  impressive!

a) Hydrants

b) hieroglyphs

c) hyacinths

2. How many years ago did  the Pharaohs in Egypt rule?

a) About 4000 years ago

b) About 250 years ago

c) About 15,000 years ago

3. What is the “Curse of the Pharaoh”?

a) Anyone who entered the pyramids without permission would die.

b) Anyone who spoke to the Pharaoh without permission would grow a very long nose.

c) Anyone who insulted the Pharaoh, would be eaten by the Sphinx.

So, how did you do? Do you know a lot about ancient Egypt? If you do, perhaps you can help us solve the mystery of the sarcophagus.

Hello pandas!

Ever since the mysterious Egyptian sarcophagus was found on the beach, all of Panfu has been infected with Pharaoh Fever! Now you can buy clothes and look like the old Egyptians! Have you checked out the new fashion in the catalogue?

Now you can be a panda-Tutankhamen or disguise yourself as a panda-Cleopatra (both were famous Egyptian royals who lived thousands of years ago).

Check out how cool we look in the new items!

- I love my golden Tutankhamen mask!

- I think I look rather pretty!

 Have fun and remember, keep your ears and eyes open for anything strange…

Hello pandas!

Kamaria is a very clever oracle and knows a lot about things we do not. That’s why we thought it would be good to hear her expert opinion about the events currently in question in Panfu. Yesterday we both went to Kamaria’s tower to bring you this exclusive interview:

Max: Kamaria, hello! Thank you for your time for this interview. We feel that you are probably the best person to speak to regarding all the strange events happening in Panfu.

Kamaria: Good day Ella and Max! It is my pleasure to be of help! Yes I have noticed that many pandas are feeling a little afraid or insecure since the pirates arrived in Panfu. I hope I can help.

Ella: Firstly, did the pirates actually bring this sarcophagus to Panfu?

Kamaria: Yes, but it was completely unintentional. I had warned them not to anchor their ship in those particular waters because I was afraid something like this would happen. Unfortunately, Captain Cod’s ship anchor dislodged something evil which found its way onto Panfu shores. I know from a secret source that the sarcophagus had been hidden under the seabed for almost 1000 years and hence no evil had come to Panfu…until now.

Max: What is the sarcophagus and where have the pirates disappeared?

Kamaria: The sarcophagus is a very old tomb from ancient Egypt and who ever was buried in it was feared even by the people in Egypt back then. That’s why it was captured and sunk in the sea. But the pirates have unintentionally, and rather foolishly, brought it to the surface again. I believe that the disappearance of Captain Cod and his crew has something to do with the sarcophagus. Their capsized vessel also appears to be related. In fact these entire events remind me of someone I once met….

Ella: Oh my goodness! This is quite serious and very scary! But you have a few magical powers, Kamaria! Can’t you do something against this evil force, what ever it is?

Kamaria: Of course, dear! I’m currently consulting my old magic books to try to find the right methods to use! So do not worry, Ella! As long as I’m in Panfu, the pandas will be safe against the evil force!

Max: Thank you, Kamaria! It is very reassuring to hear you say that. (Phew!) We will continue to keep our eyes and ears open. Panfu is still in danger and we must stick together in these turbulent times.

So pandas, be careful. Evil is lurking….
