LUXOR DISCOVERIES
IS IT THE KING’S TOMB ?
A SCEPTICAL EGYPTOLOGIST. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association). PARIS, February 20. M. Rene, the French Egyptologist, de dares that Tutankhamen was not buried at Luxor which is merely a sort of cave hiding place unworthy of Tutankhamen whose successor, King Armais, was his implacable enemy due to a religious feud. M. Rene asserts that the tomb discovered by 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 Pharaoh. M. Rene emphasises the disproportion between the treasures deposited and the plainness of the decorations.
