What reading level is Meydum And Memphis Iii book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Xiv, 4), and they were always placed on the southern side of the shafts.
Their average length was I04i inches, and the width 62 inches, or 5 x 3 cubits respectively.
Only one tomb in the cemetery was found to con- tain an earlier burial than the secondary ones of the x. Xiind dynasty, and very few of the latter date were found intact. In the unrifled tombs these bodies were found lying in roughly painted wooden coffins, invariably much decayed ; the heads were generally placed to the entrance o...f the chamber. As is usual in burials of this date, practically nothing was placed with the dead, except that in rare instances we found necklaces of cowry shells, and very coarse glazed figures of Thoth, Bes, and Bast.
In some cases the chamber held more than one body, and additional holes were also cut in the sides of the shaft to hold more coffins, cither at the bottom of the pit on the north, or above the original chamber.
In most cases the entrance of the tomb chamber was intended to have been closed by a portcullis of lime- stone.
