THIRD DOOR (171)

          I/<T>his door bears C, D, E/<H>, G, and H/<E>/<?>. It will be necessa-

ry later to compare these seals with the content 

and purpose of the Annex Chamber and determine 

whether there is any relation between them.

          It will be possible to map the exact distribu-

tion of seals on this door when the photographs 

can be combined with J.H.B.’s notes.

FOURTH DOOR (28)

          This door bears only A, B, E/<H>, and F. It is signif-

icant that F, which contains the symbol of the skin 

on the pole, a symbol twice found in the sepulcher^sic

chamber, is found only on this sepulcher^sic door. This 

suggests that the seals have some relation to the 

content of the chamber on which they appear.

          It will be possible to map the exact distribu-

tion of seals on this door when the photographs 

can be combined with J.H.B.’s notes.

                     SOME CONCLUSIONS

          The seals are in content testimonials certify-

ing to the king<’>s pious services on behalf of the 

gods during his life on earth. Note especially C: 

"Nebkheprure, who spent his life fashioning (images 

of) the gods, etc.". In this respect the seals are 

identical in function with the great Papyrus Har-

ris, which is a vast testimonial of the same kind. 

Their further function was to enlist the protection 

of the gods for the king’s tomb, just as is done in 

the Pyramid x[?]/<T>exts, with which they must be compared 

when published.

          The only seals which might have belonged to later 

kings are E/<H> and G. The place of E/<H> on door 28 how-

ever, discloses it so involved with B and F that it 

is certainly one of Tutenkhamon’s own seals. G like-
