THIS new and important work contains an account of 

 the archaeology of the Third Egyptian Dynasty, a 

 very early period, so far as it has been illustrated by recent 

 research. It deals in particular with the result of the 

 writer's own explorations made during 1901-02, in the 

 disirict north of Abydos in Upper Egypt, beginning with 

 the discovery of the tomb of the first pyramid-builder, and 

 followed by the finding and excavation of a number of 

 other great tombs and a necropolis of the period. 



Historically these researches help to answer a question 

 which has been raised in England as to the continuity of 

 the main Egyptian race from early times through the 

 founding of the monarchy and on to the pyramid age. 

 The volume illustrates an unbroken sequence in the burial 

 customs, tombs, architecture, funereal furniture, and other 

 characteristic features of the primitive civilization. 



It is written with an endeavour to make it intelligible 

 to those who are interested generally in historical problems 

 or in the country of Egypt without being archaeological 

 specialists.
