Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1950 THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON PAGE SIX Desert Diggings Reveal Ancient Burial Grounds By Sum Souki (United l'resji Staff Corrwqion'lenl) Cairo HP) A vast cemetery dat ing back to the Old Kingdom (3200-2630 B.C.) has been discov ered by excavators at El Qatta in the western desert under the di rection of Abdul Hady Hamada, curator of the Egyptian museum. This high, rocky site, free from humidity, was eminently suitable for burials. Unfortunately, while this year's excavations were the first to be undertaken scientific ally, many of the tombs had been plundered by ancient or modern robbers. It was on the southern part of the site, where the graves were rectangular and made of brick, that the worst depredations had been committed. In the tombs still intact, most of the bodies were stretched out lull length, facing north, but some had knees bent, and some were in a crouching position. Cof fins were either of wood plaster ed inside or o( reed, but all were in bad condition. The bodies wore amulets of gold, cornelian, crys tal, rock amethyst, and faience. Most valued is a fine painter's palette of schist, inscribed with vertical lines of hieroglyphics, giving the names and titles of the owner, chief scribe of King Pepil of the Vlth dynasty. I Among other articles, Profes sor Hamada found vases 01 ala baster, limestone, and pottery, containing wheat and barley, head-rests, ointment tablets, cop per mirrors, and well-preserved loaves of bread. v In the coming season the exca vators hope to dig out the tomb of a certain Ity, at which inscrib ed slabs of limestone already have been found. Many Romans were found scat tered among the older tombs. Some of their cylindrical burial jars had been forced inside the ancient mastabas. Sheets of gold fitted closely over the eyebrows, eyes, and mouths of some mummified bod ies, and in the hands of some silver or bronze coins were held.
