HARVARD PARTY finds
STATUES OF 10 kings
Light Thrown on Early History of
Ethiopia.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The washington Herald
Cairo, Egypt, Oct. 6.-Important dis
coveries which are said to have supplied
much of the hitherto obscure history of
ancient Ethiopia were made recently by
the Egyptian Expedition sent by Harvard
University and the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts under the directorship of DR..
George A. Reisner. well known as an
Egyptologist
In an interview DR.. Reisner said that
during excavations at Gebel Barkal ma
terial bearing on the whole period be-
tween 1900 B. c. and 100 A. D. had been
found and that prospects were that fur
ther excavation would bring to light OBJ
jects OF still greater Importance.
Among the more important finds have
been ten large statues Of kings OF Ethi-
opia. Five OF these were nearly COM
plete and five were lacking the heads.
but It is believed these will be found.
The expedition has also uncovered the
foundations Of temples built by Egyp-
dan kings OF the Eighteenth Dynasty
which show that the sphinKes OF Ameno-
phis III and other monuments Of that
period found at Barkal belong to these
temples and were not brought in later
times as some historians have assumed.
DR.. Reisner said in part:
"Gebel Barkal in the district of Ma
pata, lies 260 miles up the Nile from Ker-
ma in the province of Dongola. Napata
was the capital OF that kingdom of Ethi-
opia whose armies are mentioned in the
Old Testament as the opponents of As
syria in the latter part OF the eighth cen
tury before Christ Gebel Barkal Is an
outstanding table mountain Of sandstone
visible for a great distance. From the
moment II appears in the Egyptian in
scriptions II is marked as The Holy
Mountain. Its selection was no doubt
due TO its proximity to Napata, the great
city which must have lain on both sides
OF the Nile"
