LUXOR AWAKES
FROM A SLEEP
I of wunr AGES
i Valley of the Kings Begin
ning to Take on Charac
teristics of Modern City.
(By Associated Press)
VAMjKY OK THK KIN OH, Uixor,
KgTPt, Mar. 23. Luxor, like King
Tutunkhainun, lias been roused from
its jreposo of 3,uuu years and is taking
on something of the habits und char
acteristics of a twentieth century town.
Kor net's u conventional stopping place
lor wile excursion steamers and tour
ists, it has lately become a center for
people of alt classes. Including stud
ents, college professors, antiquarians,
doctors, undertakers, dressmakers and
souvenir hunters. The newly-found
tomb of Tutankhamun is the magncL
that draws them all. Tourists are
attracted hero out of curiosity, but
professional men and women, under
takers, embnliuers, dressmakers, and
milliners, come in the hope, of getting
new ideas for their business from the
mummy chamber of this ancient king.
To modern undertakers tho skill of
Hie ancient Kgyptinns In preserving
their dead ugalnst tho ravages of ago
is a source of ama'senieiit and mystery,
and many of them have applied to
Howard Charter, discoverer of Tutank
hamun, for tho privilege of examining
the Pharoah's body when It is divested
of its garb of gold and Its bltumenlzed
banduges.
Embalming in ancient times was n
much more elaborate and cxpensivo
process than it is today. It retired
three months for its completion, and
cost $1,600. It was a luxury that could
be aTforded only by the rich. The an
cients believed that mummification in
this lifo was the only sure means of
their resurrection In the next. Pathetic
efforts were made by the poor to se
cure eternal life to their dead. Amer
. lean archaeloglst sin Luxor have late
ly found skeletons of humble person'!
placed near tho graves of tho royal
dead. Their relatives, it appears, too
poor to pay for embalming, placed the
bodies near the graves of tho nobles
in tho hope that their poor framed
would partako of tho sacred ness of the
nobility and thus rise with them In the
next life.
The first slop in embalming a body
in PharohoniO' days wnn to place it
In a powerful saline solution for three
months. The intestines weru them re
moved by means of a sharp-edged
stone, the brain, heart and liver were
taken ouWand the body impregnated
with myrrh,' nccucla, bitumen and ar
omatic -oils. Jt wa.'t then wrapped in
hundreds of yards of linen soaked In
preservative. The annolntlng of the
mummy wus accompanied by prayer.!
and incantations to; the gods, led by
the high priests. 1
Herbert !; Wlnlop, director of, ex
cavation at Thebes for the New York
Metropolitan Museum of Art, showed!
the correspondent a 4, 200-year-old
Kgyptian princess that he unearthed
last week In the Valley of the tjueens.
Allowing for natural emaciation and
shrinkage, the body Is amnzingly well
preserved. The teeth and hair are in-;
tact. The neck, wrists, and ankles
bear a series of slight Indentures, in-,
dlcnling, according to .Mr. Wlnlop.
that Iter highness wore a necklace,
bracelets and anklets which undoubt
edly had been stripped from her by
tomb-robbers soon after her inter
ment. 1
The royal mummy. Mr. Wfnlnp said,
was that of n woman or 22 or 23. whA
undoubtedly had been a favorite in
the court of one of the Amenuhotep
liinus. Her bosom and arms were del
icately tatooed with heraldic figures.
Indicating her noble lineage. Over the
lower part of the abdomen was a lonfi
seared brand which the American ex
pert said probably had been inflicted
with a red-hot iron by the doctors of
that time ns a counter-irritant to re
lieve the pntn due to on organic mal
ady from which the princess suffered.
