Nobody who has not tofled up to the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings “out of season,” when Summer is still stupefylng Upper Egypt and the few early tourlsts wait in cool Cairo for the Winter, can imagine how hot it is. It Is hard to helleve that there are hotter places in the world than the entrance to the vallay, where you come into a great cup-shaped ring of blasted mountains. To take off smoked glasses means blindness, to take off helmet means sunstroke. Heat Like Dante’s Inferno. No green thing grows, even our desert cactus would wither; of living hings, only jackals, wolves, a few and man, come here. The an Valley, they say, and a place omewhers in Mesopotamia, south of ‘(.\g\lmL and the Death Valley in Cali fornia, are hotter Perhaps. But this Bibun-el-Moluk 1s hot enough. Somebody last Summer put a self registering thermometer in the mouth of an old tomb at the valley entrance wheres the sun could not reach Iit. When retrieved, the mercury had re. n)urded as its maximum 138° Fahren eft. But two miles further on, at the royal tombs themselves, the ground is higher, and there is often a breeze. Jiere I saw a wag-tail, hopping chweer ily about in the sand; perhaps it lives on files, thers are plenty of them in the vallsy—common house flles, which plagued the cortege of Rameses the Great here, and which, as somebody hag written, will be buzzing around the head of the last man when he lies dving under a waning sun on our freezing planet. Bottling up the News. Nobody would come to the Valley of the Kings at this season of the vear for pleasure. I came thousands of miles, on the stern business mission of reporting the opening of Tut's coffin, That news has already been told, but probably few of those who re it have realized the difficulties which accompanied the task of obtain- ing the information. The Fgyptian government had de- clared that no news of this important event must reach the outside world. I'he officials explained that some days iter, an official bulletin—which might or might not be more accurate than the two notoriously inaccurate com- muniques previously issued about the opening of the two oufer coffins inside ihe sarcophagus—would be given out in Cairo. Newspaper correspondents in Cairo were solemnly warned of the fate awniting them if they traveled the 400-0dd miles to the famous royal necropolis in the Sahara. They gave heed and stayed away. But 1 had come too far for that. I paid no heed to the officlal warnings, #nd in due course I arrived in the Val- of the Kings for the great event.

There was no “copy” in this mummy. He had been found way back in 1898. He had no thrones, no statues, no shrines of gold, no jewels about him, like Tut up there. He had had them once, but tomb robbers had stripped hilm of all but the funeral garlands that still lte in the coffin long before Romulus and Remus came | to Rome. They lett him his bow, and there it was found in 1898, the bow that his ir scriptions vaunt no man in his em- pire vould draw, the bow that passed into legend, so that Herodotus, writing a thousand years later, told how | Cambyses, the great Persian con | queror who came up the Nile to | Thebes 700 years after Amenhotep {had been laid here, was unable to | draw the bow of the King of Ethiopia.
