 THE MYSTERIOUS SEOPING PASSAGE IN THE OSIREION 



"It is certainly not an ordinary royal tomb to which this passage leads. . . . If it 

 shall turn out to be the original underground sanctuary of Osiris, or even a subterranean 

 chamber where, in the days of Moses, the mysteries of Osiris were celebrated, and if it shall 

 be found even partially inviolate, then it must mark one of the niost important discoveries 

 ever made in its bearings upon the science of comparative religion" (see page 1052).
