CHICAGO, (AP) Seeking to
piece together tho history of a
crude cliff-dweller whose exist
ence was crowded Into oblivion by
the glory of tho Pharoahs, James
H. Breasted Is sifting the sands of
the Nllo valley for t.aco of Ncun
derthnl man.
Ho hopes to establish definite
connection between a cliff-dweller
who preceded Egypt's glittering
civilization and the primitive sav
age who roamed the forests of
Europe, Hecent discoveries in tho
caverns over-looking the Sea. of
Galileo presage success In the of
fort. .
Ilreasted and a group of fellow
scientists are at Luxor conducting
an epigraph to , study, working
forty fet above the sands to read
what the Egyptian wrote on tern
pie walls that are fast being worn
away by sand storms. They uro
endeavoring to collect tho frag
ments of tho history told In the
hieroglyphs, concerning themselves
with man after ho begun to
build temples, set up pyramids
and established society.
Tho findings will. In a mannen
complement Breasted's previous
work. He. expects to supply addt
tlonal details of life during tho
succession of great dynasties, but
no sensational discoveries are an
ticipated. The new line of research, deals
with man as a savage, thousands
of years beforo the obelisk of
Queen Hochopsut or the tomb of
Tutenkhamen. Jt attempts to
collect the fragmentary and fast
disappearing records of primitive
man's life so long ago as 25,000 B.
(', Another effort Is to find
when the Egyptian first began to
build his temples, and how long It
took htm to reach that stage.
Encamped at Armageddon,
termed "the battleground of the
ages," In Syria, another party
from tho Oriental Institute of the
University of Chicago la engaged
in a project that has passed pre
liminary stages, but extensive ex
cavation Is awaiting the arrival of
favorable weather conditions in
