gloom cast around by Tutankhmen's
DEATH"
The tomb will be closed at the first
opportunity, but the stream of visit
ors is so turbulent and SO unbending
that 1t is difficult to prophesy when
the opportunity will arise. A distin-
guished coterie braved a sandstorm
to go to the tomb today. They were
taken in to see the gold and blue
catafalque and later permitted to in
spect the treasures being treated In
the work shop in the tomb of Seti IL.
They have been talking about it ever
since.
Splendid Vision.
There is no doubt 1t is a splendid
vision, but there is now serious curl
osity as to the real historical facts
which the discovery will reveal. That
desire for knowledge cannot be salts
he'd now or In the near future, pri-
marily because work cannot be done
while these constant Interruptions
continue. In any case, 1t will be years
before the world knows what the ma
terial in the tomb has to tell. but 1t is
sion of sightseers goes on the longer
must be the wait for an answer to
the questions whether Tutankhamen
came voluntarily to Thebes from
Tell-el-Amarna and whether he be-
came reconverted to Amen faith
through policy or enthusiasm.
There is proposal afoot to take a
selection of the finest objects already
treated and to put them on show in
the Cairo Museum. That would be
one way of eliminating local inter-
ruptfons; but for the present it seems
that Lord Carnarvon will finish the
season in the blaze of glory with
4, which 1t commenced when the news
of the discovery was first announced.
1t is possible that the closure of the
tomb next week may be temporary in
stead of until next fall. The discOv
erers may perhaps close the tomb inst
long enough for public interest 10
