To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In that part the tombs are rectangular pits, at the bottom of which there are two, and sometimes three, side chambers. Many of them had been filled with sand, and we cleared them with the hope of discovering the original interments ; 6 Ahxas and Beni Hasan. But everywhere we found that the tombs had been re-used in later times, plundered of their valuables, even of the coffins, and employed for bodies evidently belonging to the poorer class. They had no coffins, were generally not embalmed, and... were lying over or under a mat of reeds. With the bones were sometimes found small baskets containing food for the deceased, chiefly nuts of the dom palm and bread ; some- times also poppies and pigeons' eggs. Here and there were a few remains of the former occupants — for instance, a piece of a handsome funerary cloth on which the weighing of the soul had been painted, fragments of papyri, and pieces of limestone hieroglyphic tablets, evidently belonging to the XVIIIth and XlXth Dynasties. I should not wonder if even these were not the original occupants, and if the pits went back up as far as the Xlth or Xllth Dynasty.
