THE " CITIES OF THE DEAD."—Lord Lindsay thus
describes the " Stahl Antar." so called after the far-famed
Lover of Iblar :—A lofty archway leads you into a hall of
noble proportions, once most elaborately ornamented with
hieroglyphics on the walls, and. the richest tracery on the
ceiling, flowers and diamond-shaped devices, of different
patterns and colours, succeeding each other in parallel
rows; they are now much defaced, and, from the descrip-
tion a Danish traveller of the last century gives of them,
must have suffered much during the last hundred years.
Great pains seem to have been taken with this chamber;
we found in none of the others such elaborate ornament
or such beautiful proportions." These vast excavations
have very properly obtained the name of " Cities of the
Dead." All the population of Egypt, rational and irra-
tional, converted into mummies, might conveniently be
laid up here, the catacombs being endless in number, and
in many cases of prodigi,us extent. Originally the greater
number, perhaps, were quarries ; but in extracting the
stones far raising habitations for their living bodies, those
prudent people were eot unmindful that they must shortly
stand in need of another house, to lee tenanted for a much
longer period. 'They therefore worked their quarries
with this double view. Every block removed made room
for a coffin, and two dwellings were formed at once.—
