No: Sandsteinsklippene hvilte over henne som vakre voktere fra en annen tid.
En: The sandstone cliffs rested above her like beautiful guardians from another time.

No: Farger i oransje og rødt glitret i vårsolen, mens duften av ørkenblomster svevde i luften.
En: Colors in orange and red glittered in the spring sun, while the scent of desert flowers floated in the air.

No: Sigrid pustet dypt inn og kjente hjertet banke av spenning.

En: She was here to find what her family had talked about for generations—a hidden artifact.

No: Hjemme i Norge hadde hun vokst opp med historier om en mystisk helleristning som pekte mot et viktig funn dypt inne i Petra.
En: Back home in Norge, she had grown up with stories about a mysterious petroglyph pointing to an important discovery deep within Petra.

No: Men folket i landsbyen mente det bare var en myte.
En: But the people in the village believed it was just a myth.

En: Sigrid was determined to prove that it was more than just a story.

En: Rumors of a new find had brought him here faster than the wind.

No: De siste dagers regn hadde gjort området ustabilt, men både Sigrid og Leif visste at tiden var knapp.
En: The recent days' rain had made the area unstable, but both Sigrid and Leif knew that time was short.

No: Sigrid visste at hun måtte ta en sjanse.
En: Sigrid knew she had to take a chance.

No: Hun hadde nøye studert en gamlenøkkel fra familiens historier som ingen andre forsto.
En: She had carefully studied an old key from her family's stories that no one else understood.

No: Denne nøkkelen ville lede henne riktig vei.
En: This key would lead her the right way.

No: Hun skred inn i en mindre kjent hule, og følelsen av å være nær noe stort jaget frykten bort.
En: She entered a lesser-known cave, and the feeling of being close to something great chased away the fear.

No: Inne i hulens dunkle lys var det en rolig stillhet som bare det eldgamle kunne ha.
En: Inside the cave's dim light, there was a serene silence that only the ancient could have.

No: Men det som fanget Sigrid mest, var det lille symbolhun hadde lett etter.
En: But what captured Sigrid the most was the little symbol she had been searching for.

No: Hun fulgte sporet av symboler langs hulens vegger.
En: She followed the trail of symbols along the cave walls.

No: Hjertet hennes sang når hun fant det: artefaktet, en liten skulptur gjemt i en nisje.
En: Her heart sang when she found it: the artifact, a small sculpture hidden in a niche.
