ants of the same Amou in the present inhabit-
ants of Lake Menzaleh, and of part of the
eastern district of the Delta, who live by their

refused to pay certain taxes. The Amou, there-
fore, of the Noum-Hotep picture, whatever may
have been their tribe, boast a history. After a
lapse of 4,800 years, they stand before us as the
first foreign people who yielded to that fascinat-
ing attraction of the land of Egypt, the traces
of which have not yet altogether disappeared.
