Desert Scavenger Watches Buried City Emerge

A detailed prompt for Seedance 2.0 describing a cinematic scene where a scavenger watches a buried city slowly emerge from the desert sand, specifying camera action (crawling, watching), VFX (sand displacement, dust columns), aesthetic (Desert gold, Lawrence of Arabia geometry), and thematic role (witness, not participant).

Prompt
A scavenger crawls to the top of a dune ridge on his stomach and looks over. Below in the basin, an entire buried city is surfacing, buildings pushing up through the sand slowly, like something breathing out. He doesn't move. Doesn't radio. Just watches the world underneath the world reveal itself. VFX: sand displacement from emerging structures, dust column particle systems, scale depth on the emerging cityscape, wind across the ridge surface. Aesthetic: Desert gold and shadow grey, the reveal as the event, Lawrence of Arabia ridge geometry, the scavenger as witness not participant, something ancient becoming present tense.
