The
signs
of
sovereignty
were
given
with
a
truly
feminine
profusion
of
adornment
.
The
united
Crowns
of
Upper
and
Lower
Egypt
were
,
in
especial
,
cut
with
exquisite
precision
.
It
was
new
to
us
both
to
find
the
Hejet
and
the
Desher
--
the
White
and
the
Red
crowns
of
Upper
and
Lower
Egypt
--
on
the
Stele
of
a
queen
;
for
it
was
a
rule
,
without
exception
in
the
records
,
that
in
ancient
Egypt
either
crown
was
worn
only
by
a
king
;
though
they
are
to
be
found
on
goddesses
.
Later
on
we
found
an
explanation
,
of
which
I
shall
say
more
presently
.
"
Such
an
inscription
was
in
itself
a
matter
so
startling
as
to
arrest
attention
from
anyone
anywhere
at
any
time
;
but
you
can
have
no
conception
of
the
effect
which
it
had
upon
us
.
Though
our
eyes
were
not
the
first
which
had
seen
it
,
they
were
the
first
which
could
see
it
with
understanding
since
first
the
slab
of
rock
was
fixed
in
the
cliff
opening
nearly
five
thousand
years
before
.
To
us
was
given
to
read
this
message
from
the
dead
.
This
message
of
one
who
had
warred
against
the
Gods
of
Old
,
and
claimed
to
have
controlled
them
at
a
time
when
the
hierarchy
professed
to
be
the
only
means
of
exciting
their
fears
or
gaining
their
good
will
.
"
The
walls
of
the
upper
chamber
of
the
Pit
and
the
sarcophagus
Chamber
were
profusely
inscribed
;
all
the
inscriptions
,
except
that
on
the
Stele
,
being
coloured
with
bluish-green
pigment
.
The
effect
when
seen
sideways
as
the
eye
caught
the
green
facets
,
was
that
of
an
old
,
discoloured
Indian
turquoise
.
"
We
descended
the
Pit
by
the
aid
of
the
tackle
we
had
brought
with
us
.
Trelawny
went
first
.
It
was
a
deep
pit
,
more
than
seventy
feet
;
but
it
had
never
been
filled
up
.
The
passage
at
the
bottom
sloped
up
to
the
sarcophagus
Chamber
,
and
was
longer
than
is
usually
found
.
It
had
not
been
walled
up
.
"
Within
,
we
found
a
great
sarcophagus
of
yellow
stone
.
But
that
I
need
not
describe
;
you
have
seen
it
in
Mr.
Trelawny
's
chamber
.
The
cover
of
it
lay
on
the
ground
;
it
had
not
been
cemented
,
and
was
just
as
Van
Huyn
had
described
it
.
Needless
to
say
,
we
were
excited
as
we
looked
within
.
There
must
,
however
,
be
one
sense
of
disappointment
.
I
could
not
help
feeling
how
different
must
have
been
the
sight
which
met
the
Dutch
traveller
's
eyes
when
he
looked
within
and
found
that
white
hand
lying
lifelike
above
the
shrouding
mummy
cloths
.
It
is
true
that
a
part
of
the
arm
was
there
,
white
and
ivory
like
.
"
But
there
was
a
thrill
to
us
which
came
not
to
Van
Huyn
!
"
The
end
of
the
wrist
was
covered
with
dried
blood
!
It
was
as
though
the
body
had
bled
after
death
!
The
jagged
ends
of
the
broken
wrist
were
rough
with
the
clotted
blood
;
through
this
the
white
bone
,
sticking
out
,
looked
like
the
matrix
of
opal
.
The
blood
had
streamed
down
and
stained
the
brown
wrappings
as
with
rust
.
Here
,
then
,
was
full
confirmation
of
the
narrative
.
With
such
evidence
of
the
narrator
's
truth
before
us
,
we
could
not
doubt
the
other
matters
which
he
had
told
,
such
as
the
blood
on
the
mummy
hand
,
or
marks
of
the
seven
fingers
on
the
throat
of
the
strangled
Sheik
.
"
I
shall
not
trouble
you
with
details
of
all
we
saw
,
or
how
we
learned
all
we
knew
.
Part
of
it
was
from
knowledge
common
to
scholars
;
part
we
read
on
the
Stele
in
the
tomb
,
and
in
the
sculptures
and
hieroglyphic
paintings
on
the
walls
.
