pillar to pillar; the original roof consisted of similar blocks laid
across in the transverse direction from architrave to architrave. An
Egyptian granite temple was in fact built upon the plan of a child's box
of bricks; it was but a modified and beautified Stonehenge.

Of The Time Of The Xviiith Dynasty. Discovered by M. Legrain
at Karnak.

Other important discoveries have been made by M. Legrain in the course
of his work.

[Illustration: 382.jpg A TOMB PITTED UP AS AN EXPLORER'S RESIDENCE.]

The Tomb of Pentu (No. 5) at Tell el-Amarna, inhabited by
Mr. de G. Davies during his work for the Archaeological
Survey of Egypt (Egypt Exploration Fund). About 1400 B.C.

Among them are statues of the late Middle Kingdom, including one of King
Usertsen (Senusret) IV of the XIIIth Dynasty. There are also reliefs of
the reign of Amenhetep I, which are remarkable for the delicacy of their
workmanship and the sureness of their technique.

We know that the temple was built as early as the time of TJsertsen,
for in it have been found one or two of his blocks; and no doubt the
original shrine, which was rebuilt in the time of Philip Arrhidseus, was
of the same period, but hitherto no remains of the centuries between his
time and that of Hatshepsu had been found. With M. Legrain's work in the
greatest temple of Thebes we finish our account of the new discoveries
