366 The Tomb of Amen-hetep II. wished. The party proceeded from chamber to chamber, and when at length they reached the portion of the tomb where the sarcophagus stood, they saw the mummy of the king lying there with his diorite shaUi figure and bronze menats resting upon it in their proper places. Then, according to the story which was told me by one of the party, the British officials examined other parts of the tomb, and listened to the learned remarks of Maspero, who explained the ceremonies which were performed in the chambers on behalf of the dead. When the party reached the door, the chief watchman came up behind in a state of great excitement, and reported that the shabti figure and the bronze mendts (which had been lying on the mummy half an hour before, and which all had seen) had disappeared. Search was made for them diligently and quickly, but they were not forthcoming, and the only conclusion which it seemed possible to arrive at was that one of the inspecting party had stolen them.^ From the tomb Maspero and his party went to the place where the natives had dragged the great boat which had been prepared for the use of Amen-hetep II in the Other World and had been taken from the great haU of his tomb. The boat was about 20 feet long, and about 6 feet or 7 feet wide in its widest part, and it was flat-bottomed and capable of carrying a good many men. It was made of huge thick planks bolted together with strong pegs, and it was in such a good state of preservation that it looked as if it might have been made in our own days. Near the boat a large tent had been erected for the use of the party, and in the evening all the high officials dined there with Maspero, and the poUce, watchmen and servants lighted fires near by, and ate their supper whilst the party from Cairo were dining. Late in the evening the conversation in the ^ A year or two later a European dealer in Cairo offered me the shabti figure, and I bought it, and it now bears the number 35,365 in the British Museum Collection. See Guide to the First and Second Egyptian Rooms, p. 130. I bought one of the king's mendts before M. Loret cleared the tomb. See Guide to the Third and Fourth Egyptian Rooms, p. 30 (No. 20,760).
