TIME STARTRD-

HE DAY FOLLOWING (November 26th) was
the day of days, I the most wonderful that have
ever lived ! Throughout the morning the work of
clearing continued. | Then, thirty feet down from
the outer door, we came upon | second sealed
doorway.
With trembling hands made tiny breach in
the upper left hand corner. Darkness and blank
space, as far as an iron testing-rod could reach,
showed that whatever lay beyond was empty and
not filed like the passage we had just cleared.
Candle tests were applied as precaution against
possible foul cases. then, widening the hole little,
inserted the candle and peered in. At first could
see nothing, the hot air escaping from the chamber
causing the candle fame to flicker, but presently
details of the room within emerged strange ami
mails, statues, and gold - everywhere the CLINT of
gold For the moment - an eternity it must have
seemed to the others standing by l was struck
dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon,
unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired
anxiously, "Can you anything?" it was all l
could do to get out the words, 'Yes, wonderful
things" Then widening the hole little further
inserted an electric torch. -.
Surely never before in the whole history of
excavation had such an amazing sight been seen as
Evening star., 1961-09-24

the light of our torch revealed to US. The effect
bewildering, overwhelming First, right opposite to
US, were three great gilt couches, their sides carved
in the form of monstrous animals, with heads of
startling realism. Next, the right, two statues
caught and held attention; two fe-sized figures
of king in black, facing each other like sentinels,
gold killed, gold sandalled, armed with mace and
staff, the protective sacred cobra upon their FORE
heads. Between them, around them, piled on top of
them, were countless objects gistening with gold
and inlay.
Presently it dawned upon our bewildered brains
that in all this medley of objects before there was
no coffin or trace of mummy. Between the two black
sentinel statues there was another sealed doorway.
We were but on the threshold of our discovery. ;.
Three months later after clearing the Ante-
chamber, Psychologists opened the sealed dOorl
HERE BEFORE US lay the sealed door, and
with its opening were to blot out the centuries and
stand in the presence of king who reigned three
thousand years ago. My own feelings as mounted
the platform were a strange mixture, and it was
with trembling hand that struck the first blow.
Very carefully l Clipped away the plaster and
picked out the small stones which formed the upper
most layer of the filing. The temptation to stop and
peer inside at every moment was irresistible, and
when after about ten minutes work, had made a
hole large enough to enable to do SO, inserted
an electric torch. An astonishing sight its light
revealed, for there, within yard of the doorway,
stretching as far as could see and blocking the
entrance to the chamber, stood what to all appear
ances was a solid wall of gold. -.
1t was, beyond any question, the sepulchral
chamber in which we stood, for there, towering
above US, of the great gilt shrines beneath
which kings were laid. So enormous was this
structure that filed the entire of the chamber
space of two feet only separating it from the
walls on all four sides while Its roof reached almost
to the ceiling From top to bottom it was overlaid
with gold.
Many strange scenes must have happened in
the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings since it
became the royal burial ground of the Theban New
Empire, but one may be pardoned for thinking that
the present scene was not the least interesting
dramatic.

The tackle for raising the lid of the sarcOphagus

silence the huge slab broken in two, weighing
ton and quarter, rose from its bed. The light
shone into the sarcophagus.
"A SIGHT MET OUR EYES that at first puzzled us.
1t was little disappointing. The contents were COM
pletely covered by fine linen shrouds The lid being
suspended in mid air, we rolled back those covering

Ship filed the whole of the interior of the sarcopha-
gus. This was the lid of wonderful coffin, some
seven feet in length, no doubt the outermost Of
series of cofins nested one within the other, en-
closing the mortal remains of the king The hands,
crossed over the breast, held the royal emblems -
the Crook and the Flai - encrusted with deep blue
faience. The face and features were wonderfully
wrought in sheet-gold. The eyes were of aragonite
and obsidian, the eyebrows and eyeids inlaid with
lapis lazuli glass.
There was touch of realism, for while the rest
of this coffin of brilliant god that of the bare
face and hands seemed different the gold of the flesh
being of different alloy, this conveying an impression
of the grayness of death. Upon the forehead of the
recumbent figure of the young boy king were two
embems delicately worked in brilliant inlay - the
Cobra and the Vulture - symbols of Upper and
Lower Egypt, but perhaps the most touching by its
human simplicity was the tiny wreath of flowers
around the symbols as, it pleased us to think the

Kingdoms" Among all that regal splendor, that
royal magni6cence - everywhere the CLINT of gold
there was nothing so beautiful as those few pale
wlted flowers.
