Having explored every nook and cranny, Aristarch realizes something unpleasant: there is absolutely nothing remarkable here. Workers are working, guards are guarding, and someone is sitting in a tent. It's just routine. The mundane reality of excavations.
He watches to see if the diggers unearth anything interesting from the walls, floor, or ceiling of the caves...
Ничто не возникает из ничего и ничто не пропадает бесследно.
Если где-то чего-то убудет, то в другом месте добавится.
(Закон сохранения).
