OPERATIONS CARRIED OX AT GIZEII.
8
June 1st.
Reis, 10. Men, 198. Children, 157.
The same works were repeated.
The Sheik of Harronieh again informed me that the
people from his village, and from Cafr el Batran, would he
sent to the canal. I therefore requested Mr. Piozan to
apply to the Madyr. Mr. Mash copied the hieroglyphics
in Campbell's Tomb. A flat piece of black stone, about
half an inch thick, square at one end, and round at the
other, but without any hole, carving, or inscription, was
found in the southern foss. Particles of leaf gold,
broken pieces of coarse earthenware, and a small orna-
ment like a cross, were likewise taken out. This tomb,
which, before it was plundered, must have been amazingly
rich, was a sort of Columbarium. Quantities of bones,
and five sarcophagi, were found in it; and probably
many others have been deposited in the adjacent pits.
The whole ground, indeed, is one vast cemetery, and
abounds with shafts and sepulchral grottoes formed in the
quarries, which have supplied materials for the pyramids
and for other buildings.
