Psychologists at Harvard are in a

cry Of the first magnitude in the land

Theodore M. Davis, who has for
years been engaged in excavating in
the Valley Of the Tombs of the Kings
in the vicinity of Thebes, removing
mound after mound of the debris of
centruies, has reported the discovery
which is probably the richest that
has fallen to any explorer since
Egypt was opened to European re-
search.
He has found a tomb which has
never been visited or plundered since
the age of the eighteenth century
U000-1500 b. c., and is still filled
with the royal treasures of a time
when Egypt was mistress of the east
and the source of it's supply of gold.
The tomb itself is not large, and
its walls had never been smoothed or
decorated, but it was filled from one
end to the other with the untouched
and richest spoil of ancient Egypt
