unknown) at the bottom.

          This section as well as the following four 

sections have been omitted in the tomb of Ramesses 

IV, and in their place we find a sarcophagus slide 

and two small recesses <(1)> cut slightly above the floor

level at the end of the Fourth Passage.

<(1) The recesses are referred to in the Turin Papyrus in the following terms: [ 𓂀 ] (op. cit., pl XXIX, w.d., p. 137.)>

T. An Antechamber – (? a first "Hall of Waiting.").

          The only instance of this chamber being décor-

ated in the Eighteenth Dynasty is in the tomb of 

Thutmosis III, where a long list of names of gods 

cover the plastered walls.

U. A Sunken Stairway, cut in the floor of the Ante-

chamber (T).

V. A Descending axial Passage or corric/<d>or.

W. A Descending Stairway with narrow recesses on 

either side, like (Q).

X. The Antechamber. This chamber is generally de-

corated: the subjects being similar to those in 

the Chamber of the 'Protective-Well' (S).

          In the Turin Papyrus it is called "The Hall 

of Waiting."

Y. The anterior part of the Sarcophagus Chamber.

Z. The posterior part of the Sarcophagus Chamber.

          The first section (Y) of the Sarcophagus 

Chamber has two rows of three pillars, and at 

the end of the central aisle are steps which lead 

down to the second section (Z), the 'Well' for 

the sarcophagus, cut at a much lower level.

          When complete both of these sections were 

plastered and painted with scenes and citations
