ANOTHER PYRAMID ENTERED.

Latest Discovery Made by Mr.. jacques de
Morgan Among Exypt's Antiquities.
Mr.. jacques de Morgan. director gen
cral of the Egyptian Antiquities. has
just succeeded in entering the Abou-
Roach pyramid, q task attempted in
vain some ten years ago by his pre-
decessors at the head of the same
service. A passageway giving access
to 80 rooms has been discovered. The
work OF clearing the royal rooms is
now progressing, but so far no in
scription has been met with.
The Abou-Roach pyramid marks the
northern limit of the Memphis ne
cropole. 1t is situated on the border Of
the Nae valley, north of the Gizeh
pyramids. From the nature of the
tombs discovered in its vicinity, this
pyramid seems to belong to the ancient
empire. Much dilapidated and ruined
as it is, it has the appearance of large
mound.
Four pyramids previously unopened
have been entered by the antiquities
service this year, but the lack OF in
scriptions renders for the present tie
Identification of their owner an i'm
possibility. During his long campaign
of excavations, Nariette never found
any Inscription in any Of the pyrami;ls
royal rooms, and be was on his death
bed when he was informed of the dS-
covery made by Brugsch Bey of the
King pepi sepulchral room with The
| celebrated inscription Of the Book CT
the Dead" bearing the kings names
and cartoGchcs. It must be remembered
also that all the Inscriptions diacoT-
cred by NJ. de Morgan at Dashur ard q;
Lcht by NJ. Gautbier were found IN
the ruius of the outside funeral tcUplr
adjoining the pyramids. The writer
remembers well while visiting thc
Ouscssesen Ill. sepulckrai rooms, under
the Dashur north brick pyramid, that
not the slightest inscription WAS tt
he seen, even on his splendid granite
sarcophngus. The custom at tiat re
mote period seems TO have been to ir-
scribe the wooden sarcophagus con
tanned inside of the granite one with
the name and titles of the deceased
while the other inscriptions, intended
to lie seen by the public, were IN The
funeral temple located outside the
pyramid and devoted to the worship ol
the departed Pharaoh.-N. Y. Sun.
