You have a theory about this, of course?

Tom Evans, Archeologist:
[pointing to the hieroglyphs on the tomb wall] The design alternates with the symbols of life and death.
Charlie Chan: Story of man very short. [alternately pointing to the symbols] Charlie Chan: Life... death... life... death. Am reminded of ancient sage Confucious [extending his arms out to suggest length] Charlie Chan: who write, 'From life to death is reach of man.'
