in such a way that the average man

DIGGING ON ANCIENT SITE.
Important Discoveries Made at Gebel
Barkal.

Important discoveries 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, we'll known
as an Psychologist.
In an interview with representa-
tive of the Associated Press, DR.. Rels-
ner said that during excavations at
Gebel Barkal, material bearing Oh
the whole period between 1900 B. C..
and 100, A. D. had been found and
that prospects were that further ex-
cavation would bring to light objects
of still greater Importance:
Among the more important finds
have been 10 large statues of kings
of Ethiopia. Five <of these were
nearly complete and five lacked heads
but it is believed these will be found.
The expedition has also uncovered
the foundations of temples built by
Egyptian kings of the 18th dynasty
and shown that, the sphinxes of Ame-
nophis III and other monuments OF
that period found at Barkal belong
to these temples and were not
brought there in later times as some
historians have assumed. DescrlD-
ing the work, DR.. Reisner said:
"Gebel Barkal, which is in the dis
trict of Papata, lies $50 miles up the
Nile from Kerma in the province OF
Dongola. Papata was the capital OF
that kingdom of Ethiopia whose
armies are mentioned in the Old Tes-
lament as the opponents of Assyria
in the latter part of the eighth cen
tury before Christ. Gebel Barkal Is
an outstanding table mountain OF
sandstone, visible from a great dis
tance. From the moment it appears
in the Egyptian inscriptions it is
marked as the Holy Mountain Its
selection was no doubt due to its
proximity to Napata, the great cit!
which must have lain on both sides
of the Nile. The site of Napata was
peculiarly fitted for great role in
the political and commercial actlvi'
ties of ancient times. 1t lies at the
head of the navigable stretch of river
between the third and fourth catar'
acts, at the end Of the relatively rich
AGRICULTURAL area of the province, ano
at the junction of five caravan roads
through the desert.
A Large City.
THE extent of the city has not
been determined but there are traces
of ruined buildings on both sides o1

heads in royal Egyptian workman
ship. 1 believe that there are good
chances Of our finding the remaining
parts of the other statues.
''To shorten the story, the rest of
the season was spent in clearing the
ground south Of the great temple in
preparation for the excavation of the
great temple itself. Here we uncov-
cred four small temples each on the
site of older temples and one OF them
of considerable interest. This was a
temple built by king of Ethiopia,
named Itlanersa, about 600 B. c.,
and had been preserved from the ef-
forts of previous eXcavators by a
mass of huge blocks which had fallen
upon it from the cliff. When with
infinite labor these blocks of sand
stone had been broken up and car
ried out, there lay the inner cham
bers with their contents just as they
Itlanersa completing the history of
temple. Itlanersa had foolishly built
his temple right under the overhang-
ing cliff, but much to our advantage.
Almost Immediately the cliff had fall
len and crushed the temple. His
successor, Senka-amon-seken, pious-
ly rebuilt the broken walls and set his
name beside that of Itlanersa. Again
the cliff dropped a huge flake on the
back part of the temple; again an
other king, nearly four centuries la
ter, restored the sanctuary. But in
his day the writing of heiroglyphlcs
stood when the cliff fell about 100
B. G.. In the next to the last room
stood a great altar of black granite
carved with offering scenes and in
scriptions in hieroglyphics showing
that the altar had been dedicated by
Itlanersa to Anon of Napata. In the
small holy of holies, were there Me-
roitic statues of the god and curlos-
ly enough by some ancient mistake
statuette of Amenophis III, a great
king of Egypt in the 18th dynasty.
About these statuettes lay the last
votive offerings placed in the shrine
by worshippers of the Meroitic age.
We penetrated to the foundation de-
posts under the back wall of the
temple and found the small tablets OF
was nearly a lost art and his name
can only be surmised.
"Only at the very end could work
be begun on the great temple. A
few rooms at the back were cleared
and the foundations of five success
sive temples were laid bare. But
the great temple still awaits excava-
ton and an area perhaps twenty
times that already excavated. In a
few days the expedition will return
to the Sudan and resume the work
where it was cut short by the hot
weather."

the river. There are at least four
groups of pyramids, that is, royal
cemeteries in the neighborhood, and,
the two distinct groups are 20 miles
apart. In this long stretch, which
may be assumed to contain the city
of Papata, it is Gebel Barkal and it's
immediate neighborhood which has
always drawn the attention of mod
ern scholars. Besides the mountain
stand two groups of pyramids and
under the perpendicular face of the
rock on the river side six or seven
temples have been traceable, one of
which was very large. These tenn
pies have in past times yielded a re-
markable series of sculptures and in
scriptions which have gone to en-
rich the museums of Cairo, London,
Paris and Berlin and form the great
est source of our knowledge of the
history Of Ethiopia.
"Our expedition reached Gebel
Barkal from Cairo on January "a,
last. We worked there three months,
employing a force of about 800 local
workmen, and left just in time to es-
cape the hot weather. Many people
had worked on the pyramid but no
one had yet discovered the plan of
the structures and no one knew how
to get into them: Fortunately at
Gebel Barkal there were two COM
pletely ruined pyramids Of small size
which offered the easiest opportuni-
ty of solving this mystery. We found
in the case of each stairway on the
eastern side leading down to cham
bers under the pyramid. With this
hint we attacked the larger pyra-
mids and within a month we had
found the entrances of 25 pyramids
and had cleared the burial chambers
of all but one.
"All the chambers had been re-
peatedly plundered in ancient days
for gold. Nevertheless we gathered
mass of material from which we
were able to- reconstruct the forms
and character of the greater part of
the pottery, implements, and other
things characteristic of the period.
This reconstructed group pointed
clearly to the first century before
Christ as the time in which had lived
those little kings who had built these
monuments, but in view of the scanty
material for comparison this conclu-
sion may be a century away from the
truth.
Some Interesting Objects.
The most interesting objects were
red glazed bowls with relief pattern
red glazed plates, polished vessels of
J Opaque variegated glass, amphorae,
initiating the Rhodian in form and
material, bronze jug with two
handles, each ending in mask, four
bronze vessels, piece of wood carv-

ed in relief and a wonderful gold
bracelet with a lacquer decoration in
Egypto-Meroitic style.
"Towards the end of February the
full force was turned on the excava-
ton of the temple area. The back
part of the great temple and almost
the whole of the other temples were
in seemingly hopeless state of de-
struction. Half a dozen expeditions
had dug desultory trenches in these
and natives had used them as quar-
ries for centuries. In hunting for a
suitable place to throw the refuse,
we cleared space besides the first
we clared a space beside the first
ever, inside the temple enclosure and
on the living floor of the Meroitic
period (about 100 B. c.. To our
great surprise, in hole in this floor,
we came on the edge of pile of
fragments of large royal statues Of
the Ethiopian period. Investigation
showed that there had been great
restoration OF the temple after Pc
riod of destruction, subsequent to
600 B. c., and that the statues of the
Ethiopian kings found broken during
this restoration had been carried out
and thrown into this place. The
names of four kings were found-the
Biblical Tirhaka, Amonanal, his son,
Espalta and a later king named Sen
ka-amon-seken. Only the statue of
Espalta was complete. 1t seemed,
! therefore, that there must be another
dump in which the fragments of
these statues had been thrown, but
in so vast an area the chance of find
ing the other dump without excavat-
ing the whole seemed too small for
consideration.
"This find forces us to plan some
other way of attacking the excava-
ton of the great temple and l turned
! to the area next to the mountain,
thinking to clear up the rubbish
strewn ground and pile the refuse be-
side the back part of the temple. In
| the course of this work we come on
the foundation walls of two smaller
temples and while clearing these,
with no thought of anything but arch
geological results, we suddenly came
on the other ancient dump, over 100
meters from the first dump where we
! had found the statues. Here was the
head of the Tirhaka statue, the crown
and basis of the AmOn-anal statue
the body belonging to the head Of
| the Senka-amon-seken statue and the
bodies of two statues of Tanut-amon,
successor of Tirhaka. 1t was the
most astonishing freak of chance in
my whole experience as an excavation.
AS result we had 10 statues of kings
of Ethiopia of the time of Tirhaka
and later, all broken but five of them
practically complete with portrait
