In another temple in Gournou, which is yet unknown, and of which I shall speak in this volume, I found several statues of the same sort, and by the pedestals it appears they were within the place surrounded by the columns. The same may have been the case in this temple. The situation in which I found them was by no means their original place, and it was clearly to be seen by their irregular positions, that they had been brought thither in great hurry and confusion. Some brick walls had been bui...lt, as if to hide them from the destructive hands of an invader, and the white statue lay among the rest in an irre- gular manner. o. 2 116 RESEARCHES AND OPERATIONS During the time of this excavation I scrutinized the ruins of Carnak, and perceived a great number of spots that deserve digging. I saw the famous altar, with the six deities mentioned in the great French work, and the colossal arm, both of which I formed the pro- ject of removing even at that period. Fortunately on this side of the water the difficulty of obtaining people to work was less than I had found it on the other.
