BAB-EL-MO LOUK.

see a forcible and energetic application of those
ideas of resurrection after death and of the im-
mortality promised to the deceased which per-
vade this tomb. The tomb of Rameses VI. is
the N°. 9 of Wilkinson ; that of Rameses IX.
is called N°. 6; and it is under these numbers
that they are usually pointed out to travellers
by the guides.

There are three routes to choose from in
leaving Bab-el-Molouk. Tourists who have but
little time to spare will return by the way they
came, that route being the most direct. If time
permit, the path which ascends the mountain
may be taken; and the summit once reached, the
descent, which is rather steep and available only
for pedestrians, may be made either to the east
or to the south. The former path leads by
Deir-el-Bahari to El Assassif; the latter, after a
rather long detour, comes out behind Medinet-
Abou, and thus affords the opportunity of re-
visiting that temple, as well as the Rameseum
and the temple of Goornah.
