| Summary | "Before Egypt" by E. K. Jarvis is a science fiction adventure story written in the mid-20th century, during the 1950s. The narrative follows the journey of Mike Mallison, a big game guide, who is hired by Professor Brandon and his daughter Doree to embark on a perilous space expedition. Their quest centers around a mysterious ancient papyrus scroll believed to hold the key to an extraterrestrial origin of early Egyptian civilization, leading them to a distant planet in the Orion sector. The story unfolds with Mallison and his team encountering various dangers, including kidnapping and betrayal by unscrupulous individuals, McKee and Talbott, who seek to exploit the knowledge contained in the scroll for their personal gain. After facing a harrowing series of events, including a crash landing on a jungle planet and confrontations with hostile natives, Mallison's resourcefulness and bravery shine through as he fights to rescue Doree and the professor from their captors. Ultimately, the narrative explores themes of loyalty, courage, and the quest for knowledge, culminating in a thrilling escape that highlights the perseverance of the human spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
