Editor Ogden Standard1 have
Been too busy of late to write any
thing fit for publication but will give
what 1 have
rOll a hasty outline of
been doing tho past week or BO The
lust loiter I wrote you was confined
I believe to Cairo Since thorn I have
spent considerable time in various
part of the socalled pyramid field
This district extends from Ghlzoh to
Medum a distance of about 40 miles
and contains no less than 70 of these
tomb structures BO common to Egypt
These pyramids of course vary great
ly In sire from Cheops or tho Great
Pyramid 11G feet high down to com
paratively small ones Some are
more or less Intact while others an
mere stumps of structures built of
I
brick or perishable atone
I am not nearly through here but
am anxious to get on up the Nile to
I Thebes Karnak and Assouan The
t 1 way the average tourist skims through
i this wonderland of antiquity gives mea
Most of
I a fiharp shooting pain
t them land at Alexandria and hurry
I i on to Cairo the same day Next morn
t ing they ride up to the Citadel visit
ft few of the mosques get a birds eye
s I view of tho Caliph tombs and are then
I I ready for the pyramids of Ghizeh
The morning finds them aboard a trol
l ley car and they arc soon plodding
J through the sands surrounding Cheops
1 Perhaps they ascend to the top any
way they do it and then march
off to the Sphinx where they are us
ually photographed perched on the
apex of a muchenduring camel kept
for the occaelon Taking a hurried
glance at the Sphinx temple and
stopping at Campbells tomb long
p enough to drop a pebble Into Its cav
ernous depths they are ready to
return satisfied that they have done
the monuments of Lower Egypt
Another day to see Hellopolls and
shop a bit in tho Cairo bazaars and
I they are off up the Nile they know
not whore simply up tho Nile as
arranged by Cook Son with a
i vague idea of the temple of Karnak
fi the Colossi of Mennon and the flood
ed Island of Phlloc
I have been tramping around con
siderably In the vicinity of ruined
Memphis and the Necropolis of Sak
Icarah returning yesterday from an
I other camel trip to the upper end of
i the Sakkarah desert near the pyra
mids of Dahshur
I I can hire a good dromedary for
I tlvo shillings a day and with my
I books and maps am free to go where
i I will A dragoman is useful around
the principal monuments but a bit
outside his own stamping ground ho
is a confounded nuisance so also
is a donkey boy Ive struck up quite
an acquaintance with the local Sheik
of the Sal karnh a black middleaged
Arab who speaks good English and
Is full of history For a dollar or
two ho Is very glad to descend from
his dignified position mount his drom
edary and hike off to dome Isolated
point and toll mo all about It
Tho Sakkarah necropolis Is an ele
vated district several miles In extent
lying Immediately west of the nat
ive village of Sakkarah It contains
hundreds of tombs and several groups
of pyramids and is recognized as the
ancient burial place of Egyptian rul
ers In going from one pyramid group
to another convinced I had a pic
ture of the whole In mind I was con
duced that rather than there being
I
several burial districts that It Is real
ly all ono of vast extent reaching
from the Ghizeh field on the north to
points far south of Sakkarah In
other words an ancient cemetery
more than 20 miles In length and pos
sibly 40 the various pyramid groups
being but elevated portions of the
whole while tho Intervening sec
tions probably contain equally Inter
esting monuments and tombs which
Ho burled possibly hundreds of feet
beneath the shifting sands of the
Libyan desert This suggestion may
seem some extravagant but it must
be remembered that there once lived
here a most populous and powerful na
tion and that even Memphis near by
now but a chaotic field of brick
ruinswas once so extensive that It
required half a days Journey to tra
verse It
With the possible exception of
I Cheops the most remarkable struc
ture to me In this vicinity Is the
Step or Platform pyramid
Egyptologists can It the oldest mon
ument In the world today attribute
UB construction to Nenephcs of the
First dynasty and assert that It was
probably in existence 2000 years before
I
fore Abraham was born
To me tills hip crumbling ruiu con
veys an entirely different Impression
1 consider it the connecting link be
tween the ancient civilization of the
western and eastern hemispheres
There isnt another pyramid any
thing like It In all Egypt In Mexico
Central America and Peru there are
many of this pattern In fact I dont
believe It was ever built by the Egyp
tians but by ancient colonists from
tho ante deluvian world Atlantis

tlncnt as well as the African centur
lea before the construction of any
thing now abovo ground In Egypt
1 have never heard this theory ad
vanccd before but pursuing the Idea
atlll further I would say that these
colonizers settling In tho rich Nile
valley and prospering from the start
built for a time conformably with the
architecture of tho homeland Atlan
tis and then gradually evolved the
later style of pyramid with straight
I sides so common to Egypt today
Thin change In architecture might also
indicate a throwing off of tho yoke of
homo government and a gradual de
velopment Into the Bgyptlano of his
tory while their great Island father
land sank beneath the Waters of the
Atlantic in the most awful cataclysm
of all time
I went over the Step pyramid
very carefully as well as an extreme
ly ancient city which Is being exca
vated nearby and from which I se
cured several genuine curiosities In
this vicinity r also vlsiled and exam
ined the tombs of Mera PtahHetep
and Thl with their wonderful carv
ings and paintings and the pyramid
of Unas sepulchre of the king whose
mummified remains in the Cairo mus
eum are labelled Fragments of King
Unas He was killed In battle and
the body was mutilated
The Scrapeum or tomb of the sacred
bulls IB also near these other in oint
ments and Is an intensely interesting
place The sacred bulls wore mum
mified and deposited here in great
stone sarcophagi from the eighteenth I
dynasty to the time of the Ptolemies
The weight of these gigantic colllns
Is estimated to average about Co tons
each They are about 15 feet long 7
feet wide and 11 feet high each oc
cupying a separate chamber cut out
of tho rocky sides of tho tomb
I Thy temples surmounting this place
have long since vanished and the site
was only discovered In 1800 by excu
rating deep Into tho desert sand One
stumbles about through the inky
blackness with candles lighting up
the various sarcophagi with burning
magnesium wire and trying to picture
the pomp and ceremony with which
the giant mummies were Installed
here three to four thousand years
ago In the tomb of Morn I saw a relief I
carving of King Morn playing chess
which puts tho antiquity of that game
back some 5000 years or more I saw
Innumerable things of Interest in these
various tombs but shall have to ne
glect them in this letter as you will
probably expect me to at least men
tion the Great Pyramid of Ghlzeh
Thin marvelous structure Is as mys
terious as It is unique among its fel
lows and I visited It again and again
each time finding something addition
al to ponder over As I said before
It Is about 451 foot high and covers
an area of 535821 square feet or 13
acres It is composed of enormous
blocks laid In cement and was at one
time covered with a casing of beauti
ful white limestone The latter was
torn off to supply building material
for the old Cairo mosques only three
of the original casing stones being suf
fered to remain These were discov
ered on the n6rth base line by a mod
ern excavator and by their angle fur
nished Egyptologists with a means of
determining the original size of the
pyramid the cap stone and some of
tho apex having also been removed
I The casing stones wore great blocks
weighing several tons each and were
I apparently laid without mortar or ce
ment Their surfaces however were
so skilfully cut and fitted so perfect
ly that It is still impossible to in
sert the thinnest knife l lade Into any
of the joints of the regaining blocks
just mentioned
I visited the top several times tho I
ascent necessitating only a stiff climb
of 15 minutes or more The descent
Is rather dangerous as a slip or a falso
step would send one hurtling down
some 700 feet of 3foot steps Several
travelers and natives have mot tragic
deaths In this way
A few days following my first visit
to this pyramid I viewed a most
boauptlful sunset from the top being
pulled and boosted upward by three
natives In time to catch the last
slanting rays of the sun as it sank
slowly Into the desert to the west
I was with a party of English people
returning from India and we had
brought a big hamper of lunch with
us Tho servants prepared Turkish
coffeo and after dining on this unique
pedestal we waited for the moon to
TRfWords
Words are pitifully Inadequate to de
scribe tho marvelous beauty of the I
scene or the weird stillness which
seemed suddenly lo prevail as the
great orb slowly lifted from out tho
horizon the faint glow of the sun I
i still reddening tho western sky and I
i the thousand lights of Cairo twinkling I
In the distance We tried to start a
song but somehow the melody would
not harmonize with the surroundings
and Auld Lang Syne was little bet
tor than a dirge floating out over the
sandswept ruins so far bolow
Upon gaining tho ground again we
strolled over to tho Sphinx and stood
for nome three contemplating the huge
mutilated features by moonlight Of
all the impressive sights in this
strange land this is the climax tho
Sphinx by moonlight To stand before
this gigantic figure when night has
dispersed the clamoring mobs of day
and nothing but tho soft snnd creep
breaks the awful stillness and to re
flect that for 0000 roars those eyes
have gazed out over this Held of mys
tery and ancient life a fooling of awe
and littleness comes over one which
cannot bo shaken off
My latter Is already too long nnd
I have said nothing of the Interior
of the Groat Pyramid nor can I at
this time for It is too interesting a
subject for brief discussion I climb
ed into It up in It down in it and
around through it measured and pho
tographed the mysterious coffor in the
Kings chamber Inspected the strange
niche In the Queens chamber mar
veled at tbo architecture of the grand
gallery climbed to tho upper cham
bers measured tho grooves and the
granite leaf in the antechamber got
lowered Into the grotto tunnel 150 feet
deep and am convinced that It Is
Btlll the worlds deepest puzzle
I dont believe Cheops nor anyone
olso was over hurled in It nor do I
believe it was over constructed for
tomb purposes anyway I have a host
of reasons for saying all this and will
try to explain in detail at somo fu
lure time
You will remember that tho en
trance to the Groat Pyramid was dis
covered from tho inside rather than
from without Sultan somebody forc
ed his way with Infinite labor through
tho solid masonry for a long distance
but owing to the clover plan of placing
the entrance several feet to one sldo
of tho couter the expectant desecra
tors fonnd nothing I
Ono day however they heard a I
distinct sound from tho side wall of
tluIr tunnel and renewing their ef
forts soon came upon the tunnel
which led downward to the unflnlsh T
od chamber and upward to the con
cealed entrance I am familiar with
all the Interesting details of tho mya
terlous granite wedge which Jn falling j
into place had given tho direction In I
which tin tunnel lay and how the ex
plorers wcro forced to mine around
It only to discover new difficulties In
tbu form of n seemingly endless sup
ply of big limestone stpppon which
slipped down into place atJ fast aa
tho lower ono was broken to pieces
and removed U IB ill sq extraordi
nary and mysterious that 1 hope to
have an opportunity to write on it in
detail some time
I shall have to hurry on In order to
see something of the upper Nile HopI
I to visit Jerusalem and some of tho
I North American coast cities before
returning to London Owing to the
I lateness of the season I shall have dif
ficulty In visiting the Azores
and perhaps will be unable to al
though It will be a keen disappoint
ment as it is the Azores from whence
these pyramid builders came In my
humble opinion or rather the groat I
submarine plateau of which they
were once the mountain tops
