What reading level is Memoranda Illustrative of the Tombs And Sepulchral Decorations of the Egyptians book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The Hall of Beauties follows. All the figures " are in such perfection, that the smallest part of " their ornaments can be closely discerned. " This room deserves the most minute examination, as it records the leading deities of Egyptian worship, and explains their characteristic symbols. The King is welcomed by each deity individually ; also to the throne of Osiris, who alone is seated as supreme ; the countenance, an azure blue. The King is accom- panied by Arueris. The walls exhibit the sa...cred Persea leaves, the Lotos, and the Pomegranate, flow- ering around : no doubt these plants symbolize the reception into, and the enjoyment of, felicity and honour. The group of the deities, as well as the accompanying symbols and hieroglyphics, are very highly interesting.
" Farther on, is the large hall with six pillars, *' containing on each side of it two figures as large " as life. The walls are adorned with the procession " and other symbolical figures ; over the door in the " inside, is the figure of a female with extended " wings, as in Plate 3 ; on the right, a Cow of half ** the natural size, with a number of figures under " it, which form a very curious group.
