- Orient Expedition Episode 01

The Horn of Africa is a legendary treasure discovered by Johnny Thunder.

History
Very little is known about the Horn of Africa's history. Many years ago, it was hidden deep within a trap-rigged temple in southern Africa, where it waited on a pedestal for those who dared to retrieve it.

In early 2003, Johnny Thunder and Pippin Reed set out to find this treasure. While Johnny Thunder ventured into the temple, Gail Reed waited outside with their boat. Johnny Thunder able to find and take the Horn of Africa without setting off any booby traps.

However, Lord Sam Sinister followed Johnny Thunder into the temple and discovered a wheel mechanism. When Lord Sinister operated the mechanism, the ceiling of the temple opened up and water gushed into the temple. Johnny Thunder escaped with his life and the Horn by grabbing onto a vine. Presumably, since then the Horn of Africa has been sent to a museum.

Properties
The Horn of Africa is an ancient trumpet made from pure silver. Its bell and lead pipe are lined with rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. It has a single valve, with a large ruby on top. Not much else is known about the Horn of Africa.
