They had the idea that kings had kingship in the underworld. The speaker gave some humorous references to complications that might have been ex pected when several generations of one dynasty in the underworld were followed by another set of kings. To avoid such com- plications it was necessary for the kings 4.. ,l...m.u all ll? homes of their nredeces- lpllc8lJlO!lS II was necessary lU.l' mu: auu5u to destroy all the bodies of their predeces- sors with their accompanying shadows. `In order` to avoid this destruction of the dead bodies, the resources of Egypt were turned into great-to1nbs--safety deposit vaults for kings and potentates. The finest of these tombs was the great Pyramid of Gizeh where 100,000 people were engaged three A months each year for twenty years in build- ing. the tomb for one king, A __ _ ;L_.. 1.1.1.... ...L1..L `oh.-v..In'nrI annnnn !

Another thing which deyeloped among `a the _Egyptians was a belief in synthetics magic. -'I`hey'believed that if they had a picture of the thing, it gave" them control of it. This belief entered largely into the death a solitary journey, at first the wives and slaves were strangled so that they might go with him to the underworld as company and also to look after him. Later -this practice was discontinued in the belief making of tombs. The big'man finding` that the images gave control of the person or thing. Instead of killing the people, models or images of them were made and so these models and pictures became a big item in furnishing the tomb. t'\ A .I I .,~ ,1 `L ___ _-____; Avvuu nu nu.-no-.:.....a _..... .-...~. One of the -early types of these great tombs was to dig a pit 100 feet deep where- in was put the coffin over which was erected a superstructure with rooms con- taining representations of . his mortal exis- tence. For example one had pictures of, the processes of agriculture in the four seasons and all their domestic processes were shown by picture or image. In this way the man would have all his people and his! farm life with him -in the tomb. It was believed that these shadows in the tombs gave parties and had" a varied existence so there were representations of everyone nu.-I n uuuu IvI`\:v\nt Ln `Lord in llfn` un nrrlnr 'UCl1U\'Uu Lllulr LIICBU lll1LlU\'VD Ill I/IIC IIULIIUB existencei and everything he `had in life" in order- that his shadow might lack nothing.

The great pyramid "of Khufu was the greatest safety deposit vault in the world. More rubbish had been written about this pyfamid than anything else in the world. said the speaker. He scoffed at the idea` of it having" been built by theHebrewe` .as it was thousands of `years o1d=w!ien"the* I_-Iebrews were in Egypt. _ _ ` , Egypt and left the world's greatest monu- ; ment. ! -v-any nu There had been much conjecture as to! how this immense structure could have` been built and many people imagined that the Egyptians must have. had wonderful ` machinery to enable them to accomplish such a great undertaking. This, however, is `a misconception. The Egyptians did: all their work on the level. The stonel for the "pyramids was picked and dressed with flinted picks, drawn on rollers to the river, floated down on rafts and then rolled from the river to the pyramid. As`. the structure was raised, a huge hill went| up with it and when the pyramid was com- pleted it was surrounded by a vast mound.` This had to be dug out and levelled overl the plain. There was no particular science} about the construction, it was; just solid| slugging. The wonder of this pyramid is` its. architectural perfection, the measure! ments not,being out one inch in 10,000.` This pyramid was built so that the King, could say: Here Iain, but yo.u~can't get` - me." The entrance was made half-way`upl and the passages to the. sarcophagus were` blocked by terrible blocks of granite. The architects had prepared for disintegration by protecting theiroom where the body wasl by huge blocks of` granite. Twenty yearsi ago, said Dr. Currelly, we found an im- !` age of Khufu, an ivory image 21/1,. inches: high, of the great king who did much forg 11.. n..-_..-n.- ....:..a...l ....4 d...L cl... 1:`...-._ and so would work with. the person in whose house the image was.

V This was built underground. Dr. Currelly show-o ed a nuinxber of views of these tombs which made very plain the colossal labor that had been employed to carve these enormous passages from the rock and rooms in which the. bodies were placed. The _Pharoh who knew not Joseph tried out" a new scheme in tombs. He` made the opening like a poor laborer s tomb, `but constructed beneath the ground the same wonderful passages -and chambers. In order to hide the thousands of tons of chips which camel out of this subterranean tomb, he built a pyramid with them and on this he placed an inscription saying that he built it to his grandmother who was buried so many `miles away. This pyramid was =a great .. puzzle to archeologists until they discovered . it was simply a rubbish heap. `This king's I . tomb was so well ` hidden that his body exists today. In embalming the viscera ; and brains were removed and the body fill-- ; edwith bitumen. * . l Currelly showed a number of views of the Valley of the Tombs and of the dis- .co\'eries there. -He told of_ the wonderful riches that these had contained. In al .great many tombs there were pictures de-i I picting scenes of the Judgment. It is not often that tombs have been found un- opened. 'As far back as 1300 B.C. articles `taken from the tombs of the Egyptian Kings were sold in Europe and at the time of Christ, Romans were hunting for old things from the tombs in order to sell them. Mr. Currelly told of opening one; tomb where he found a table set with chairs and food, This table was set 1200 `B.C.. but so perfectly was the tomb sealed . that there was not a particleof dust onl the table when it was found. In the same i ltomb were found boxes containing wigs.l toilet articles. frocks and other things for! women.

Separated from this arable land by a sharp demarka- tion about the width of a razor," is the arid desert worth about 2 cents a mile. This is a rolling chocolate plain. looking as if it had been strewn with bars of chocol- ate. Everything looks as if it had always been that way--every.thing perfectly dead and stretching on and _'on as far as one can see. There is no movement whatever. The scene has a strange effect upon the eye and brain giving an uncanny feeling so that even the Egyptians shun the place. Mr. Currelly said that he could not. -help being impressed with the changelessness -of it. He picked up a piece of flinted spear " 60,000 years old. A little further on he found a water pot dating back to 2500 B. 0., and again another of the time of Christ, There was no indication of anyone being there in the nieantinie. It is a strange land, full of uncanny spirits, mainly due to the absolute lack of motion. 13---`- -...\..I.l..~ bk.` nunkln lnnt` ken"!
