TOMB OF PHARAOH
CLOSED UNTIL FALL
Strong Wooden Barrier Put in the
Entrance and Sand and Rock
Heaped Up.
All Work Suspended for Week While
Ccrnarvon and His Staff Go
Away for q Rest.

(The Times London World Copyright.
by Arrangement with the Earl of
Carnarvon.)
Luxor, Feb. 27.-The royal sarcopi.-
agus enclosure in the Valley of the
Kings presented the strangest sight
today when the work of closing in the
tomb OF King Tut.ankh-Amen was con
tfnued amid dense clouds Of dust and
sand which strong south wind blew
all over the valley, making everything
most unpleasant to the visitors there.
The whole operation of closing In the
tomb will take about twenty-four work
ing hours, truly Il noteworthy achieve
ment considering all that is to be fill
ed in.
The first essential was the blocking
OF the doorway. and to this Howard
Carter personally attended With his
own hands he removed the wooden
framework and the grilles with
which the mouth of the tomb has been
closed since it was first found AMI
put in their place the balks with
which 1t had to be blocked About a
score OF these balks were used, some
63 inches long and 10 inches wide.
They are of Turkish oalr. the hardest
week that could be found in the coun-
try and in between these were placed
planks of plane wood These planks
were inserted owing to the vital nee
essity OF protecting the tomb from
any possible risk Of inundation, the
idea being that in the event Of water
getting through the rubble the plane
wood would tend to strengthen the
barrier.
1T was a most fascinating sight to
watch Carter fitting these balks and
planks. wedging each with little plano
wood wedges buttressing the whole
with huge batons of similar wood.
firmly lodged against the rock steps
and finally secured with extra wedges.
ENTRANCE STRONGLY
PROTECTED
BY the time he had finished--it was
three-hour job-Carter had complete
ly covered up the actual entrance door
and practically the whole mouth t.
within foot of the rock above. with
a barrier resembling an old fashioned
sluice agte which, thanks to wonder
full precision with which he had fitted
in the pieces. should afford all possible
resistance Of attack. by elements or
by human hands.
Yesterday I briefly described the
process of filling in the entrance to
the mouth and well. 1t has been calcu
lated that over seventeen hundred
tons of sand, rock and rubble were
used for this purpose. The rapidity
and industry with which the four
score Of boys and men worked were re
markGble. While about twenty dug
diligently in the refuse heaps on she
other side of the roadway filling has
kets as quickly as they were emptied,
the remainder kept running in a con
tinuous chain for several hours on
end, to the peculiar sing-song chant
without which Eastern laborers seem
unable to work. dumping the contents
OF their ten-pound baskets into the
well in manner which made the
small heaps increase to high mounds
with almost magical speed in some
such manner, though. of course, with
greater number. the Fellahin Of
those times must have toiled at the
excavation and subsequent covering
up OF this very tomb thirty centuries
ago.
