The Golden Cup of Belshazzar
		Legend contributed by: T. Scott Smith, Bob Maibaum
			Long ago in the ancient city of Babylon, there ruled a foolish king named Belshazzar.  Hearing of a young man named Daniel who could tell the future, he summoned him to his palace.  King Belshazzar nervously sat on his throne.  In his hand he held a golden cup that he had stolen from a temple in Jerusalem. "Daniel," he said, "what is the meaning of this sign?"  He pointed to the wall where words had mysteriously been written. Daniel read them.  "Sire," he said, "it says that you are a thief and your empire is evil, so it is about to be destroyed!" "Impossible!" Belshazzar thundered.  "Our city is fortified with two great walls and a moat!  It is impregnable!  You obviously know nothing!  Take him away!"  And Daniel was led out of the palace. Soon afterwards the writing on the wall came true.  The Persians led a surprise attack and destroyed Babylon.  The Golden Cup of Belshazzar ended up in the temple.  Your quest is to retrieve the cup and bring it back here. Kirk: Thanks, Olmec.  Where is the Golden Cup? The Golden Cup can be found in the Shrine of the Silver Monkey
