Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir. A narrow stone corridor deep underground, receding into total darkness ahead, walls rough and cold. Over-the-shoulder tracking shot behind a lantern-carrying figure whose torch throws a warm trembling glow only a few feet forward. At the very edge of the light, the faint dark outline of a massive rectangular shape begins to emerge from the blackness. The mood is suspenseful and dreadful. Dominant palette of warm flickering amber against overwhelming black and cold grey stone. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Neo-Noir" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Neo-Noir". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Neo-Noir" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Auguste Mariette: A man in his early forties with a full dark beard streaked with dust, weathered olive-toned skin, deep-set intelligent brown eyes shadowed by fatigue and wonder. Strong brow, aquiline nose, high cheekbones. Dark hair swept back, damp with sweat. Rugged 19th-century European explorer's field attire, high collar, dusty. A commanding yet obsessive energy radiates from him, the look of a man on the edge of a discovery. Dramatic single-source lantern light rakes across half his face, deep chiaroscuro shadows, a dim sandstone corridor behind him, motes of dust suspended in the beam.
