many years the water had percolated through the crack and had run down the steep stone floor to the chamber where the mummy lay on the ground. It must be understood that the tomb was absolutely airless, except for what was originally shut in, and what possibly came through the "needle" crack, which after some years was hermetically closed by the
dumpings from the numerous surrounding tombs. The air had absorbed all the dampness that it could from the objects in the tomb, but had not the power to absorb the water underneath the body. (In the louiya and Touiyou
