carriers devotion and labors IN the
cause OF Psychological science are
typical OF the example of all excava-
tors British, Americas and French,
IN the ancient ruins OF Egypt. These
men may be described as modern her
mits IN TINS 5,OOO year old Valley OF
the Kings. They lead a one-sided and
narrow existence. Cut off from all
clVlhzing and uplifting influences, the
score OF more OF them who comprise
the foreign colonies Of Luxor move
within narrow grove and seldom
even come IN contact with one anoth-
er. EXcayating IS almost a religion
with them.
The Valley OF the Kings and the
Iheban hills, $50 miles up the Nile
from Caro-, are infested with wolves,
Jackals, wildcats, foxes, snakes, liz .
ards, scorpions, vuItures, beetles and
Vermlne. The archaeologlsts live in
unpretenuous stone and mortar nous
es. with nothing but the barest rough
heWn furniture and the most prIml- .
tive household equipment. The house
occupied by the American experts .
was built through the generosity OF
the late ). PleIpont Morgan, who was
moved to pity by their privations
ana exposure.
The natives OF the valley are pa .
thetlcalIy poor and untutored. Food [.
IS scarce and expensive. Water
where it exists at all, has to be /.
brought from 'afar in hand-buckets. /
The nights are cold, and fuel IS diff /.
cult to obtain. Many Of the other /
needs Of life also are lacking. The /
heat OF the valley IS distressingly Sc
we're during the. day, and the entire !
area is plagued with flies and PERM f.
clous insects.
The archaeologists have few social .
contacts. They live like recluse. The /
whole west bank OF the Nile IN the !
nelghborhood OF ancient Thebes is
desolate, forblddlng waste OF mud, /.
sand and rock. No slower or vege-
table or blade OF grass has reared It's |
head above the barren terrain for 80 I.
centuries. Only the most primitive
roads exist. Houses are few and far
between In selecting the place for |
their etefnal entombment the an
clients choose with an eye to its |.
