		+	THE GIZA TOMB.
		+
		+	IS IT THAT OF KING SENEFRU ?
		+
		+	MAY BE GREATEST DISCOVERY YET MADE IN EGYPT.
		+
		+	The whole of the world of Egyptology
		+	has been set astir by the discovery of the
		+	tomb by the Pyramids at Giza. Is it the
		+	burial place of Senefru ? If so, the
		+	Boston-Harvard excavators will have
		+	made what must be regarded as perhaps
		+	te treatest archaeological discovery of
		+	the age. Senefru lived sixteen centuries
		+	before Tutanhamen, who, anyway was
		+	not a king of much importance. Senefru
		+	takes us far back into the Old Kingdom
		+	of ancient Egypt. He came at the end
		+	of the IIIrd dynasty, from which dates
		+	the beginning of Egyptian history as it
		+	was known before the recent discoveries.
		+	One of the master builders fashioned
		+	two pyramids, one of them at Medum,
		+	and the other, probably in the perfected
		+	form, at Dahshur, both lying between
		+	Memphis and the Fayoum.
		+
		+	His dynasty is one of which we have
		+	so far very little knowledge. It is a
		+	matter of 5,000 years ago, and it is only
		+	from scrappy records that we have any
		+	knowledge of the mighty kings who then
		+	lived and died, who evolved the alphabet
		+	and the splendid arts, and were capable
		+	of engineering feats that remain the
		+	marvel of the age. If it is Senefrus's
		+	tomb which has now been found, and it
		+	is unplundered, much light may be expected
		+	to be thrown upon the darkness
		+	which to-day enshrouds this epoch of far
		+	distant history.
		+
		+	A great deal of work, much of it of
		+	an extremely delicate nature, has yet
		+	to be done at the newly-discovered tomb.
		+	When the first official cmmuniqué on
		+	the subject was issued last week, no detailed
		+	examination had been possible.
		+	Only a plain rectangular coffin of alabaster
		+	had been rendered visible, together
		+	with a plank with an inlaid inscription
		+	in which the cartouche of Senefru
		+	was distinguished. The immediate
		+	theory was that the tomb contained either
		+	the mummy of his family or one of his
		+	high officilas. Speculation has so far
		+	rested at that point.
		+
		+	We believe it possible to-day, however,
		+	to set all that speculation at rest.
		+	What we learn on authority which can
		+	be regarded as entirely reliable is that
		+	the tomb is without doubt that of King
		+	Senefru.
