But within its own convention, belonging as it did to its country and period, the best Egyptian Art embodied refinement in every way-i embodied love of simplicity, patience in execution, and it never descended to an unideal copy of Nature. This fact was manifested by the material in the tomb of Tutankhamen. They were as tounded by the immense productivity of the art of ita period which it contained.

Upon reaching the heads of the gorgen the doorways of the kings tombs themselves struck one by their wonderful contrast to the rugged sunburnt rock in which they were harboured. Those openings lead to long corridors and bays of imposing height and width that ran` always deeper and deeper into the rocky cliffs.

Over and over again Mr. Carter used the phrase "covered with solid gold” in describing this or that treasure shown on the screen. He referred to the discovery of the most beautiful monument he had ever seen. This wasinaamall chamber eastwards from the sapulchral chamber." There is a simple grandeur about this. monument," he said, "that makes an irresistible appeal to the imagination, and I am not ashamed to confess that it brought a lump to my throat. There were a number of other wonderful things in the chamber, but we found it hard to take them in at the time, so inevitably were one's eyes drawn back again and again to the lovely little goddess figures."
