Synopsis
King Solomon's Mines (1885) is a popular novel by the Victorian adventure writer and fabulist Sir H. Rider Haggard. It tells the story of Allan Quatermain, an adventurer and white hunter based in Durban, in what is now South Africa, is approached by aristocrat Sir Henry Curtis and his friend Captain Good, seeking his help finding Sir Henry's brother, who was last seen travelling north into the unexplored interior on a quest for the fabled King Solomon's Mines. Quatermain has a mysterious map purporting to lead to the mines, but had never taken it seriously. However, he agrees to lead an expedition in return for a share of the treasure, or a stipend for his son if he is killed along the way. He has little hope they will return alive, but reasons that he has already outlived most people in his profession, so dying in this manner at least ensures that his son will be provided for. They also take along a mysterious native, Umbopa, who seems more regal, handsome and well-spoken than most porters of his class, but who is very anxious to join the party. Sir Henry Rider Haggard, KBE (22 June 1856 14 May 1925) was an English writer of adventure novels set in exotic locations, predominantly Africa, and a founder of the Lost World literary genre. He was also involved in agricultural reform around the British Empire. His stories, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential. He wrote King Solomons in 1885 and was probably most influenced by South Africa when he lived there from 1875 1882.

For the first final scene of the three Im looking at the part where their walking on Solomons great road which runs into three mountain peaks as the walk on towards the entrance to the mines they pass a pit and three colossi statues of a woman and two men which have been damaged by the weather. So the first scene is going to have the three peaks in the background and the three worn out statues in the foreground with the Solomons path leading through the statues to the mountain peak, as if their on there way back from the temple and looking back on themselves. The great road
