The Mysterious Cities of Gold - S3E22 - The Lord of the Desert

Surely a face you can trust

The kids are taken by Zares and brought to the door that triggered the room to open, the kids push the buttons so that Zares and Laguerra falls and Zares grabs hold in the wall, stopping the fall. He then tosses Laguerra to the entrance and scale the wall for himself and give chase to the children. Kokapetl charges his face and make him fall once again. The kids reaches the ziggurat entrance and push the tiles away from each other, blocking the entrance so that Zares have to smash himself out of it. They enter Ambrosius ship and grabs the compass, some coins and maps, outsmarting Gaspard on their way and getting away on the condor. They find an oasis on the map and land there searching for clues on the princess that made the veils, but are arrested by the local lord for not paying tribute to him. They give him the coin marked with the Order of the Hourglass and he becomes suspicious and accuse them of stealing, they counter that it's their own business and the lord shouldn't meddle in their affairs since if that rumour takes hold, the businessmen will leave the oasis. He makes them stay for dinner under threat, and when they try to leave to sleep in the condor, they are informed the gates are closed to protect from bandits, trapping them with the lord.

Sancho and Pedro found a map and dromedary that takes them out in the desert in search for Mendoza while he and Marik discuss ancient stories and such and how he can reach Akkad from their outpost once they get there. During the night they hear a sound and stands alert, waiting for something to come. I would guess Sancho and Pedro, but we will see in the next episode.

The documentary was about Persepolis, the city that was only used once a year, and was the inspiration for the murals in the ziggurat. They also talked about some kind of talisman that could be made with inscriptions from one of the oldest known languages on earth.
