You are caught in the midst of a massive sandstorm.  Howling winds

you and choking you.  You have lost all sense of direction.

Sand is about all you CAN see right now.  Unfortunately, it isn't very
interesting sand, only white, dry, and blowing all over the place.

Name        A Massive Sand Dune~
Descr
Somehow you managed to make your way through the howling winds
of the sandstorm, and clamber up on this sand dune.  You can see the
storm to the north of you, and presumably the pyramid is somewhere
beyond it.  Nothing but flat, featureless, open dunes of sand lie in
every other direction.

to this ancient riddle.
