Ancient Writer

The author gives a detailed statement of the theories of Professor Smyth, as given in the Transactions of this Society, Vol. XXIII. Part III. He then, after heartily commending the zeal and diligence of the Professor, brings forward objections to some of his views. 1. As to the metron or unit of linear measure. Mr Wackerbarth objects that this measure was utterly unknown to the ancient Egyptians—appearing in no Egyptian document or monument whatever, nor in any ancient writer who describes the condition of the Egyptians.

This paper was an attempt to submit to a severe and searching examination, the very new and apparently important ideas contained in the work, published four years ago by Mr John Taylor of London, and entitled “The Great Pyramid; why was it Built?” To this end, the original authorities for measures of the Pyramid, had been extensively referred to, from Professor John Greaves in the 17th century, down to Colonel Howard Vyse and Dr Lepsius in the 19th; and their various and sometimes conflicting numerical statements had been computed with all due attention to scientific accuracy, as well as every endeavour to eliminate both personal and other sources of error in tbe observations.

The University

This chapter begins with the author's arrival to Cairo University. The university was founded as a private college in 1908, then nationalized in 1925. The author wanted to be a journalist and during her time at school, she wrote about al-Qarafa, Cairo's vast cemetery quarter—the beginnings of which go back to the era of the Fatimids and Mamluks. However, after spending a semester break in Luxor and Aswan looking at ruins, statues, and excavations, the author decided that she would major in archaeology and study philosophy and ancient languages as minors. She then began studying Egyptology and archaeology in 1969. Later, she would go on to participate in an excavation in the Great Pyramid of Giza.
