~ ALL the unusual things we saw
in Egypt probably the tomb of
~ Amenhotep turned out to be the
most interesting
One morning we rode across the Nine
from Luxor in a broad and buxom sail
boat, climbed on our donkeys and rode
to the west. We followed the narrow
road thru the fresh fields of wheat and
then we struck a dusty trail which leads
of the eighteenth, nineteenth and TWEEN
tieth dynasties are being dug up.
This narrow valley, with the steep
hills rising on either side, is sure
enough bitterness of desolation; not a
tree, not shrub, not a blade OF grass,
wonder the old kings picked out this
valley for cemetery. Life has no
charm in this dreary region. Eternal
sleep would seem to afford peculiar adj
vantages. After winding thru the
sun baked gravel for about a mile we
came to settlement of houses and a
high fence thrown across the roadway.
Also there was an ELECTRIC light plant
buzzing away merrily. The tombs of
the kings are now strung with incan-
descent lights. Can you beat that for
sacrilegious enterprise ggags=.a
All the important tombs clustered to-
gether here in the valley have been
opened within the last century: The
drifting sands and the landslides of
rock and gravel had buried kand con-
cealed the entrances to these wonderful
subterranean apartments, and the work
of the explorers has been to clear away
the accumulation Of centuries and lug
out the hidden treasures; 1t is said to
be fascinating game. When Mr..
Davis, the American, made his rich

huge chamber stocked with magnificent
treasures of mummy cases, charlots,
gold-inerusted furniture and rare pot
teries it is said that he was 50 over.

Of Amenhotep III. and when w
