Newly-Found Royal Mummies.
Summer and winter see little cessation of activity on the part of those who labor in the fields of Biblical and other archeological research. Perhaps the most important recent discovery of royal Egyptian mummies has been made by Mr. Loret, the director of the “Service des Antiquités” in Egypt. The tomb and mummy—well preserved, and covered at the feet and neck with garlands of flowers—of Amenophis II. have been brought to light. Details as to the discovery of this and other notable mummies are furnished in an article written for The Sunday School Times of August 6 by Prof. Dr. A. Wiedemann, of the University of Bonn, Germany. In fact, there is no journal doing more just now in bringing to light archeological discoveries, illuminating ancient history, sacred and profane, in a way that all may understand, than The Sunday School Times.
