Princes Who Talked With Cheops and
Saw Pyramids Rise Excavzted.
Boston.-Four portrait heads of an
cient Egyptian princes, discovered in
excavation Of the royal cemetery at
Giza, will be sent to the Boston Mu-
scum Of Fine Arts, according to word
from DR.. George A. Reisner, in charge
of explorations for the museum in
Egypt.
They are part of a group Of eight I'M
earthed In q pit previously examined
by European archaeologist and sup
posed to have been exhausted. Four
will be placed In the museum at Cairo.
DR.. Reisner writes:
'"The Importance of these portraits
from the artistic, the historical and the
merely human point of view makes
the groups find almost equal to the
group Of statues found in the Myceri-
nus temples.
"The men and women whose faces
they show US had spoken with CheOps
and Chephren and had seen the first
and second pyramids in building"
DR.. Reisner thinks that some OF these
portraits support the theory that Egyp-
tan rulers of the fourth dynasty, 1900
2750 B. c.. had negro blood.
