In the morning, when Graves gives the order, eight scientists ride an elevator up the tower to the device cabin to arm the explosive device. They report each move by telephone to Graves in the command post. A checklist of from three to eight pages long is read aloud in the 20 minutes it takes to get the device ready-and the eight men can ride down the elevator...

But it has all the main features of later soul ships. On its deck is a cabin to shelter the soul of the dead Pharaoh. Pottery vessels hold food and drink for his royal feasts, and plates and eating utensils are ready for his use. The ship's keel is accurately pointed parallel to the equator, so that it will sail in the right direction when...
