1t has hitherto been supposed that in
Egypt the practice of embalming the
bodies of the dead and forming them
into mummies was the most ancient
method Of sepulture, but Professor
Flinders Petrie, the well known Egyp-
tologist, has gby recent excavations
thrown quite new light upon this
question of the ancient method of dis
posing Of the dead. AT Deshasheh, a
place about 30 miles south of Cairo, he
has discovered a series of tombs, in the
collins of which he has found complete
skeletons from which the flesh has been
carefully dissected, evidently previous
to burial The collins are of admirable
workmanship, are made of sycamore
and are in perfect preservation not
withstanding their 5000 years burial
in the sand. 1t remains to be proved by
further excavations whether the mutila-
ton Of the bodies was performed as a
ceremonial rite or whether this removal
of flesh from the bones points to canni-
balism ON the part of the ancient peo-
pie. Chambers Journal
