Cairo, Egypt, Nov. 15. —An official communique issued by the ministry of works describes the difficulties encountered in the examination of the body of Tut-ankh-amen and the many rare anil interesting objects breught into the light of day. The body waft not removed from the coffin, but the wrappings were cut : away, exposing the mummy wnicb proved to be that of a male not yet adult. The communique says: “On November 11, in the presence of government and scientific repre sentatives, Howard Carter began the examination of the mummy of Tut ankh-amen. which was carried on in side since the mummy could not be removed from the coffin without -in jury] The cuter surfaces of tiie wrappings, which were in a vor’ fragile condition, were first eonsoli dated by means of a thin coatmg of melted parafin wax after whicl Professor Derry made a longitudinal incision from inask to feet. Thi | outer coverings on being turned back ; exposed a layer of- wrappings which were equally carbonized and decayed In these circumstances an orderh unwrapping was manifestly impos sible. “As the work proceeded a large I niupber of interesting and beautifu ! objects were gradually revealed. At each stage of the procedings both written and photographic record j were taken. Among the object;- brought to light the more important were amulets and collaretts, a superb gold dagger with crystal handle bracelets of intricate worKinansbip. a larger number of finger rings of divers materials, some having scar abs bearing the king’s name for their bezels (setting), a second dagger more beautiful than- the first, severa large inlaid pectorals, bead work or naments, gold circles, etc. “Until the 13th the work of un covering the mummy had proceeded only so far as to express the lower part of the body and limbs. Accord ing to the opinion of the anatomical experts the evidence to the present reveals without doubt that the body is that, of n male, not yet adult, in a much emaciated conditioin. “Carbonized on the feet are golder sandals and between toe* and finger* were golden stales- So far no tiace of has been discoveml. “Both forearms were loaded with magnificent jewels. The jewelry dis covered upon the kingfi who lies in a coffin of solid gold, i.s far beyond expectation*. “Work of such a delicate nature must necessarily proceed slowly. The cleaning and restoration of these wonderful objects will begin immedi ately after the examination of the mummy is finished. For this reason and in'order that they may be trans ported to the Cairo museum for ex hibition as quickly aar possible, al’ visits to the tomb and the laboratory must be suspended until the work is finished.” i Congressman Critically 111.
