4000-37oo B. c., whose objects are
to be found in the First Egyptian
room, the most interesting whilom
parsonage is the middle class Egyp-
tian, who has been previously re-
ferred to in this chronicle. He is as
comfortable after six thousand years
of death as might be expected. al
though the fact that he was buried
in a contracted fashion, after the
manner Of his day, leads to the be-
lief that perhaps for such a long
stretch he might have been happier
were his knees more remote from his
chin. 1t was not until many dynas-
ties had crumb,ed that this supposi-
ton was acted upon and interments
made at full length.

The Earliest Inhabitant

Recent archaeological investiga-
tions," declared a placard upon this
grave, "have determined that the
earliest inhabitation of the Nile Val
ley by the race we now know as the
Egyptian took place about 4O0O B.
c. Slight traces remain of the viii
lagos or habitations of this early
period, but their cemeteries have
been found throughout Egypt proper
and in Nubia. The interments ar.
in the contracted position, lying al
most uniformly on the left side, with
the head toward the south. In the
grave, about the burial, are found
pottery and stone vessels containing

and the burial chamber beneath the
center Of the limestone structure is
so tiny by comparison as to warrant
the belief that the pyramid supplied
everything to be reasonably ex-
pected in the way Of protection.
The "false door" Of Nekanhor Is
among those present, with the full
title chiseled In stone and running
as follows: Kings Descendant,
Judge and inferior Scribe. He Who
Is Over Secrets. Priest Of Maat (the
Goddess Of Truth), He Who Rem
ders True Judgment, Kings Priest,
Priest Of Userkof. Priest of Raem-
sops." If the tomb failed there
never was any doubt that an Egyp-
tian dignitary would be sufficiently
buried by his official titles.

B. c. II Ukh-Hotep was as impos-

dence would seem to be that chief
reasurers have rather fallen off in
heir appearance during the last
1000 years.
After the body was properly
picked in brine, as Herodotus AYERS,
the mummy was laid in the coffin on
it's left side, with the. face toward
the eye panel, without which no cof-
fin was complete. The mummy was
covered with a shroud, with a string
drawn at the neck, the highly deco
rative false face, manufactured from
layers OF papyrus, obscuring the
genuine article. The body was then
ready for its sarcophagus, and when
exhumed centuries later is virtually
as well preserved as ever, as in the
case of the said Ukh-Hotep. 70 be
sure, Ukh Is dead. but in death, so
to speak, he has outlived many a

To begin at the beginning. the
metropolitan Museums Egyptian
expedition was organized in 1905,
With Albert M. Lythgoe as curator.
1t was the desire of the trustees to
develop a collection on the basis Of
excavation, and with that purpose an
expedition was organized and went
almost Immediately into the field.
The work has expanded and IN
creased until In recent years the
working staff has consisted Of ten
archaologists, engineers and sur
veyors, while $50 to 400 skilled
native workmen are employed.
The expedition holds two impor-
