= ! Tomb Treasures May Revise All Ideas AbQut Ancient E gypt MARRIED HALF-SISTER. More Evidence 1Is Found to Prove Tutankhamen Was. Only 17 or 18 Years Old. (London Times-New York Times coprright. By arrangement with the Barl of Carnarvon.) By Cable to The Star. LUXOR, Egypt, February 20.—It might be asked why not get some of the stuff out of the two chambers of tho tomb of Tutankhamen that are &till stored with treasures, and learn what is there. Mere human curiosity impels mightily in that direction, but curlosity must not be allowed to in- terfere with science. Tn regard to the annex to tho outer chamber I have explained before the great difficulty encountered is owing to the smallness of the present opening in the wall and to the fact that the floor of the annex is some feet lower than that of the outer chamber. Un- doubtedly ultimately the opening| must be ocarefully enlarged and the erticles from the crowded floor be- low must be delicately lifted up to gome sort of staging thrust out above | till sufficient space is cleared on the floor to allow one to step down. Extreme Care Nece All this, with the extreme care the 18 necessary for the job, will take| some time, and, If done, what d sition will be made of th taken out? At present the labor: i3 crowded and the expert staff months of work on hand with the ar- ticles already brought out. Anything smore will have to be left lying round the floor of the outer chamber. Thut 13 unthinkable, so we can dism suggestion of work in that anne Then there is the other treasure | house opening off the sepulchral | apartment, with all its tantalizing temptation of unopencd boxes. The difficulties here are much greater. How can any but the smallest objects be carried out through an apartiment where there is only & cen-inch passage between the nd the | first screen? The ta must first be taken down and each shell Temoved before the next can even be opened or examined. But this cannot be done with the present wall pierced by only a single small opening. That wall is only a built-up partition, on an accommodation wall. and will have o be largely demolishied before the tabernacles inside can be dismounted. But the interior of this wall itself is all painted and inscribed, though the decoration apparently is not of the highest quality. All has to be care- fully studied and interpreted, and if possible copied and photographed though how it will be dc such a confined space is difficult to see Order of Proceedings. The order of procecdings, therefore, presumably must be, fi the study of the wall; secondly, the demolition of a large sceti 3 thirdly the dismountin first tabernac contents and the cording, ete., of the inner sur the new wails then cxposed, which at present are in sible. Then ther must be similar removals of the su cessive tabernacles, with correspond- ing incidental work at each stage and careful handling of all the articles found. Last of all, we can get at the contents of the treasure house now, exposed. All the objects must have heen put in the treasure house before the tab- ernacles were built around the sar- cophagus, and tho reverse order will have to be observed in the work of getting_them out. All this gives some conception of the embarrassments the problem now confronting the escavaters, and suggests the impossibility of an considerable new progress this spring. Of coure, minor discoveries will con- tinue to be m ary. Y -, and the whole thing will be most’ fas- cinating; but the king has vet] another summer's slecp before him, undisturbed. Glimpse I'unerary Charfot. Among the extraordinary variety of articles crowded into the treasure house opening off tho sepulchral chamber is another chariot, which seems out of character with most of the other contents. It is in a bad condition and :scems to have been an inferior article compared with the fine vehicle found in the outer cham- ber. It is suggested that it was purely a funerary vehicle of some sort—not one af the king's usual driving chariots 5 Another article in the inner cham- ber not mentioned before is a long gilded pole resting ugainst the wall with what seems a large skin attach- ed to it. It has not vet been inves- tigated closely and no conjecture has been made in regard to its use. The only suggestion is that it has something to do with funeral rites of which we are ignorant. No one emembers that anything like it has ecn found before. Figures Guard King. One of the boxes from which the 1id Pas been lifted contains two un- usually flne ushabti figures and probably more will be found in the other boxes. The ushabtiu were sup- posed to be figures which would act as substitutes for the deceased King in doing his labors in the other world. A Pharaoh might bo expected to have many such aides, so it fs reasonable %o expect more will bo found, either in the boxes or nearer the body in the spaces between the successive taber- nmgles. Some of the boxes are wonder works of art themselves. = sort of lacelike open work geometri- 1 pattern of extraordinary fine in- laying of ivory and ebony on a very minute scale.” Another instead of being rectangular is cartouche-shaped, and with other decorations a very striking panel of a checkerboard design inlaid with alternating colors, A very distinguished authority said to me last evenin a of | tary [ers, One has af masculine color, with the headdress of yellow, It will be extremely interesting to see at some future date how closely the corselet now belng restored actu ally fits the dummy.

Of course. gloves or mittens are often made now with one chamber for the thumb and another for the fingers undivided, especially for wear in cold countries, because they are supposed to keep the hands warmer than when each finger is separately cased, but the question of the warmth of.a glove hardly have been considered in It seems more likely that it h fence of handling the re gloves are very small and ¢ have been worn by a full grown man.

Morning again there was great ac- tivity on the west bank of the Nile because the day had been fixed for the first batch of general visitors equipped with permits from the min- stry of public works. There were between fifty and sixty visitors to the new chamber, many coming up specially from Cairo. B s there were the weekly of tourists who always visit the bank on Tuesdays and Wedne: z As a_ result of this crowding those who had not taken the precaution of hiring some conveyance could procure neither donkey, mule, sand cart nor carriage. Tutankhamen’s tomb has, indeed, proved a veritable godsend not only to transport owners but also to the Is, liveries and shopkeepers.

The queen, who has always been greatly interested in ptological matters and came to Luxor chiefly to see Tutankhamen's tomb, will revisit the more important monuments which she already know from a previous visit. Accompanied by Prof. Jean Capart, she has been to Karnak, and has also spent a long time in’that gem of ancient temples, the Luxor Temple, where she ex- amined with interest the obliteration of Tutankhamen's cartouches, which had been ordered out of jealousy by Horlemeb, his next-but-one successor. y Close Tomb Next Week. Some days ago I informed you that after devoting this week to visitors and_sightseers again to close up the inner chamber of the tomb of Tutankhamen. A larger program is now contemplated, and probably at the end if this week, or perhaps on Monday, the whole tomb will be closed. Nothing has been definitely decided, but it is quite on the cards that in a fortnight from now every entrance sealed till next autumn, and that the whole tomb will be buried deep under a few hundred tons of stones in order to-keep it safe through the summer. As for the inner chamber, I told esterday of the dangers and ap- cnsions of allowing more visitors to o in. As a matter of fact, an ex amination discl that some dam- age has already been done, In places the gilding of the wall of the taber- nacle has been abrased and bits of the beautiful blue falence Inlaying Rave been It is nothing serlous_or . but it show that while Lord Carnarvon and Mr. Carter are anxious to show every consideration both to govermment officials and to the general publiec, they have already strained courtesy to utmost limits of prudence. Briet Survey of Situation. For the rest a_brief survey of the situation will make things clear. You know how tremendous was the treas- ure disclosed on the first discovery ou have read daily the wond to the American pre! and have seen photographs of many of them. It is now estimated that all that represents perhaps about one- fourth of what is now in &ight. When 1 say in sight, it must be remembered at there are successive tabernacles “I thought 1 knew something about Egyptian art until today; but we have all got to recast all our idcas.” This seems true and many books have to be rewritten. Even if more wonders are not found the present stores have revealed artistic attain- sments hitherto undreamed of. Was Young Man. To revert to a most interesting sub- ect, namely, the age of Ki ‘'utankhamen, the more progres made with the examination yestoration of tha various articles found, the more it seems likely he 3nust ‘have died quite voung. This entirely accords with such historical data as aro available, such as the Jength of his reign, the age of his wife and so forth. There is the maniken, or dress dummy, of which Yyou have heard. Some correspond- ents _appear to consider this to be the figure of Queen Ankthnesamen, presumably misled by tho fact that 7he head-dress is rather reminiscent of that of Queen Neferitthi in the{ wonderful statue found by the Ger- snans at Tellelunarna. - Others more initative have seen a resemblance to the Mona Lisa. What are called close-up photographs should be reach- $ng you now from which you will see how hard this is on Mona Lisa, Obviously this figure shows the king ®s quite a young man. - The head is small and the body is the sam the features are those of a boy course, it is well known that nearly @all the kings were represented as Young, but it s seldom that we see What is evidently a_ portrait made to ropresent a mere boy. Again, the por- tien of the body shown was probably snade carefully to measure to save the Xking the trouble of trying on such things as a corselet. It is a boy's Dody, without even the smallest cori- ~ventgnal indication of femininity.

Moreover, Providence only knows what yet lies unsuspected in the two treasure chambers now opened, namely, the annex to the outer cham- ber and the room opening off the apartment contalning the tabernacles which have not been explored. The wealth of the whole discovery is al- most unrealizable. ANCIENT TEMPLE FOUND. Chaldean Structure Was Repaired by King Nebuchadnezzar. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, February 21.—An ancient temple whose history goes so far back beyond the reign of Pharaoh Tutankhamen that nobody knows ex- actly how old it is, has been found in Ur, the Chaldean city, which wax the home of Abraham, in Babylonia, Dr. George B. Gordon, 'director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum, announced last night. The discovery, Gordon, was made in excavations jointly by the British museum and University of Pennsyl- vania museum. A letter from the ex- cavators brought the news of the dis- covery. Sir_ Frederic Kenyon, diregtor of the British museum, who is touring the United States, was in conference with Dr. Gordon yesterday. “The latest reports from the exca- vators,” sald Sir Frederick, “indi- cate that some anclent templie, built about three millenniums before Christ was found, Repairs were made by King Nebuchadnezzar. “Howaover, the-work 1s in its early stages and it is impossible to say how much history will be revealed.

By the Associated Prees. SAN FRANCISCO, February The tangled skein of the threads of romance that run through the back- ground of the life of Tutankhamen, buried this thirty centuries in his tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt, wero unfolded here by Dr. H. ¥. Lufz, Egyptologist of the Univer- sity of California. Dr. Lutz produced the marriage scarab of Amentohep and Tii, which rests on a shelf in a case in the An- thropological Museum of the Affillated Colleges, a_branch of the university, twhich hé claims is the only Amento- hep scarab in America. “Woven in its_ hieroglyphics is_the story of a great love of a Pharoah of Egypt.)” said Dr. Lutz. “Amentohep was the father of Tutankhamen, and to understand Tutankhamen must know the story King Amentohep, and his love whom he made Queen of Egypt. Tii Not His Mother. “Til was not the mother of Tutankh- amen. Amentohep, called the mag- nificent, had a harem like the kings before him, and Tutankhamen the son of one of his inferior wive: For Til was his first wife, his queen, although she was a commoner, the daughter of a captain who probably led mercenary troops. “Tutankhamen, however, the third daughter of the ron of Amentohep and Tii. His lifelin were thereby doubly entwined with the fortunes of the king, his father, who dared to marry u commoner. Perhaps it makes the relationship a little clearer to say that Tutankha- men married the daughter of his half-brother. This half-brother, Amentohep the fourth, more often called Akhnaton, thus became the father-in-law. Family Marriages Allowed. “Those who cannot easily visualize family trees may get lost in this Egyptian_ gencalogical forest, where it was the custom for sister and brother to wed, but no one who has ever glowed to'a romance will find it difficult to follow the story of Amentohep and Tii. mentohep waited until he be- came king and then married Til, and made her his first wife and no cne could undo the marriage. At the time of the marriage Tii was a lady in waiting at the court.” The fruit of this union, according to Dr. Lutz, "Akhnaton, the father of Tutankhamen's wife, was a_half-mad genius known as a heretic king, who proclaimed one god, instead of man He had seven ghters, and the third daughter became the wife of Tutankhamen, and he succeeded to the throne through her. Tutankhamen Waw Aton. “Tutankhamen accepted the relis- lous doctrine of one god while he was under the influence of Akhnaton,” id Dr. Lutz, “but later broke away rom “It was the custom of that period to have marriage scarabs made, and the one now at the University of California is one of tho few out of all those that announced the wed- ding of this king to his love, Tii. He did not attempt to hide her identity. He is too magnificent for that. Per- haps he was proud of tho fact that dared to smash convention. So hoe inscribed on the scarab the name of hen father and mother, and the names proclaimed the fact that she was a commoner.” JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS TOBE GUEST OF HONOR { Mississippians Here to Turn Out En Masse Friday Night for Retiring Senator. 21— married Mississipians in Washington are ex- pected to turn out en masse for the function in honor of Senator John harp Williams Friday night at the Washington Club.
