W Ned Bek-ahd. Buili: e 0eNito EGYPTIAN FOUND Experts Think It May Be That 0 Famous Cheops Boston, March 10.—Dr. Goeorge A. Reisner; ‘curator of the Egyptian dépnrlment of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and professor of Egypt- ology at Harvard, who hedds the joint expedition which has been conducting explorations in Egypt for 18 years, last night imputed the newly discovered tomb to some les- ser personage than kings Seneferu or Cheops although he did not mini- mize the importance of the find to the knowledge of early Egyptian history. “It's an important find, but almost certainly it's not the tomb of Sene- fery,” he sald. Dr. Relsner, who arriyed in this country a month ago for a few months' vacation, is stay- ing at a Boston hotel. Stating that in his belief the pyramid at Dahshur was the final resting place of Bene- feru while the body of Cheops was belleved to have been thrown in the Nile by his slaves; Dr. Relsner sald the newly discovered tomb may be that of a royal retainer. He ex- pected more detalled advices today. Older Than Tut's. By The Assoclated Press. London, March 10.—Egyptologists here agree that if the tomb found by the Boston-Harvard expedition deep down in the rocks near the great pyramid at Giza proves to be that of the Pharaoh who immediate- ly preceded the renowned pyramid builder Cheops, its importance {is far greater than that of Tut-Ankh- Amen because it is some thousands of years older and the contents may throw light upon that remote period about which very littls 1s known. The Pharaoh Seneferu—whose name is variously spelled by Eng- lish Egyptologists—was the first king of ths fourth dynasty (about 4000 B. C.) while Tut-Ankh-Amen reigned as late as the eighteenth dynasty, the history of which is fairly familiar. Moreover, Tut- Ankh-Amen was a relatively unim- portant king, while Seneferu was re- garded as one of the founders of the Kgyptian empire, and a man of great enterprise and energy. Sir Wallis Budge, who lately re- tired from the post of keeper of Egyptian antiquities in the British museum, told the Dally Express that, if the tomb proved to be that of Seneferu and not been plundered, it was almost certain to yield objecty of priceless value, i (The Cairo dispatches yesterday telling of the discovery said the Sarcophagus had been unearthed in- tact, with much funeral furniture inside. Near the Sarcophagns, which was a large one of marble, with gold decorated columns, and resting upon what seemed to he a plate, was. the seal of Seneferu.) SIr Wallls- described Seneferu as being ‘“‘genealoglcally a nobody who came from nowhere.” . He probably came from northern Italy, the sclen- dst added; certainly he was not.an Egyptian, and none of the really great kings of Egypt was of Egyp- tian nationality. Seneferu, one of the greatest of them, was the first soverelgn who 50 far as known attempted to make a colonial empire for Egypt, as his expeditions to Sinai and the Sudan show. Also he gained control of Exclusive Distributors for LA ROSE navigate the Mediterranean, There are records of part of this fleet tak- ing cedar wood from Lebanon to Lgypt. Seneferu bullt the monument commonly known as the Pyramid of Medun, His wife was Merit-Tefs, who, when widowed, recelved hon- orable protection from the succeed- ing Pharaohs, Cheops and Cheph- ren. Dr. Alan Gardiner, another noted Egyptologist, although greatly in- terested in the discovery which he belleves will prove vastly important, doubts whether the tomb penetrat- ed is actually that of Seneferu. That Pharaoh, he says, built two pyramids, neither of which s at Glza, and his body was most like- ly lald in one of these, probably the Pyramid of Medum. The British Egypthologists gen- erally congratulate the Americans upon their enterprise and good for- tune, Doubt It Is Seneferu By The Assoclated Press, Cairo, Egypt, March 10,—Although ly-discovered tomb at Giza, un- earthed by the Boston-Harvard ex- pedition, contains the mummy of the Pharaoh Seneferu and records of his reign, there is considerable doubt that it is among the Egyptologlsts here, A number of them consider it un- likely that a king who bullt himself two pyramids—at Medum and Dah- shur—should finally have been so modest as to order his own burial 90 feet below the surface, thus ob- | literating the personality of the powerful and prosperous ruler, They therefore express the opinion that it is unyise to raise great hopes at present lest the public be disap- pointed if the Sarcophagus reveals only the mummy of a member of the Kking's family, or even perhaps some retainer, such as a serving man or barber. It is pointed out that ohservation of the interior of the tomb so far has been only slight, as only a rela- tively small opening has plerced and the light was none too | good when the observations made. were STUDY EUROPEAN ART Time Is Rapldly Approaching When Englishmen Will Have to Visit U. §. to Study Lost Art Treasures, London, March 10—The time ap- pears to be rapldly approaching when it will be necesary for English- men to make a tour of the United States in order to study European art, says the Sunday Pictorial, com- menting on “our lost art treasures” which have been purchased in Eng- land and other European countries by Americans since the war. “Our own artistic treasures are pouring across the Atlantic at a por- tentous rate,” says the article, “Two milllon pounds’ worth of pictures and antique furniture alone were sold London for America last year, and the total since the war has been estimated at nearly $55,000,000. Soon there may be no “old masters” in England outside the public galleries. All the private collections have been transfererred to American million- ajres and transported to the other side.” NEEDS 100.000 HOMES Birmingham—New building con- construction iu Birmingham lagged so far behind the demand that 100,000 homes are now needed, the clty council estimates.
