EGYPT THE LAND OF GRAVES.
Energy of the Whole People Devoted to
DEATH

From the Saturday Review.
To the Egyptian death was but the be-
ginning Of a career of adventures and eX-
perences compared with which the most
vivid emotions of this life were tame. He
lived with the fear of death before his
eyes. Everything around him reminded
him of that dreadful initiation into the
mysteries of the tremendous after life
for which his present existence was but
preparation. His cemeteries were not hid
den away in remote suburbs; his dead
were not covered with mere grassy
mounds or a slab of stone. The whole
land was his graveyard its whole art
was OF the mortuary. Are there no
graves in Egypt that thou hast brought
us into the wilderness to dep asked the
lsraelites In derision, and we may believe
that Moses WINGED at the sarcasm.
Egypt is the land of graves, and the
whole energy of the people that could be
spared from keeping life together was
devoted to death. The mightiest tombs in
the World-the pyramids-were raised
upon the deaths of multitudes of toiling
slaves. The hills were honeycombed pas
sages and galleries, chambers, pits, all
painfully excavated in honor of the illus
trious dead. and sculDtnred and painted
with elaborate skill to make them fit habi-
tations for his ghost. Wherever he looked
the Egyptian beheld preparations for the
great turning point of existence. The ma
son was squaring blocks for the tomb
chamber; the potter nodded images OF
the gods on bowls or jars, to be placed In
the grave for the protection or refresh
ment of the ka. exhausted with the or
deals of the underworld; the sculptor and
painter were at work upon the walls of
the funeral chamber, illustrating the
scenes through which the ghost was to
pass or depicting the Industrious life of
the departed.
The very temples which cluster along
the levels beside the Nile were in a sense
but vestibules to the tombs in the hills
behind. The sacred lake, now the weedy
picturesque haunt of water fowl, was
then the scene of solemn ferryings of the
dead. The temple, walls We're covered
with the terrors of fhe Judgment to come.
The houses of the living, indeed, We're
built of perishing mud, but the homes of
the dead and the shrnes where supplica-
ton was made to the gods who ruled their
fate were made to last forever. On these
all the strength, the science and the ar
tistic skill of the ancient Egyptians Were
cheerfully lavished.
