THE LUXOR TOMB
TUTANKHAMEN NOT BURIED THERE MERELY A HIDING PLACE FRENCH EGYPTOLOGIST’S DECLARATION BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION. —Copyright. i Paris, February 20. M. Rene, the French Egyptologist, declares that Tutankhamen was not buried at Luxor, which is merely a sort of cave or hiding place unworthy of Tutankhamen, whose successor, King Armais, was his implacable enemy, on account of a religious feud. M. Rene asserts that the tomb discovered by Mr. Davis in 1912 was Tutankhamen s Tomb and bore his cartouches and inscriptions. He quotes another famous Egyptologist now at Luxor as agreeing that the newly-found tomb is unworthy of a great Pharoah. M. Rene emphasises the disproportion between the treasures deposited and tho plainness of the decorations. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
