OCCUPANT OF TOMB
A FRENCHMAN’S THEORY. LONDON, April 3. Is Tutankhamen in the tomb he prepared for himself, or did his successor eject him and possess it? » M. Edouard Naville, a French Egyptologist, in a japer road before the Academie dos Inscriptions, says that the tomb is not that which Tutankhamen prepared for himself, and in which ho was first buried. The theory is that Horem Heb, who succeeded Tutankhamen, usurped tho original tomb and removed the body to the tomb recently discovered The fact that the furniture, the magnificence of which is admitted, is piled hap-, hazard in the outer chamber supports this view.
