DARIS, France. June 6-Professor
Edouard Haville Of Geneva Uni
versity, well known EgyptoIo-
gist, has just returned from Egypt
and today gave some interesting de-
tails OF his discoveries, which include
a resvoir more ancient than the pyra-
mids and the tomb Of the god Osiris,
king OF the dead. The professor was
assisted in his Investigations by
Thomas Whittemore. Of Taft College.
Boston, and by two London antiquar-
ians.
The discoveries were made at Ably
dos, the old Egyptian Adult which is
situated half way between Cairo and
Assuan, about eight miles away from
the Nile, in the desert.
Buried Temple Found.
AT nine yards under the soil we
found a large building constructed in
granite and very hard red sandstone"
said the professor. This edifice is
divided into three nayes, which sur
rounded by 16 large cells all identical
in size and shape, and containing no
inscriptions on the walls whatevar
This latter fact proved that the
building was very ancient, as the walls
Of the more modern edifices in Egypt
are covered with inscriptions. In
front of the cells is q stone platform
supported by ten huge blocks Of gran
ite and the platform skirts the reser-
voir. which we have not yet explored

ION the opposite side to which we
entered, we found the burial place Of
Osiris as the Book Of the Dead and
the inscription on the walls Of the
funeral chamber proved to US beyond
all doubt. We found also that in some
remote past Egyptian thieves had en-
tered the chamber Of Osiris by pierre
ing a hole in the wall, but II will Of

thieves carried away. Did they take

dismembered every night by MS enc

transported TO different parts Of Egypt
