...Reisner's assistants who had the honor of actually finding the tomb. Allan Rowe '09 and T. R. Greenlees were working according to a plan of action drawn up by Dr. Reisner before leaving, on the plateau of solid rock between the pyramid of Cheops and the Nile. They had come almost to the edge of the rock where it was cut away in prehistoric ages by the Nile and has since been covered every year with a thick layer of the Nile mud which the inundation spreads over the entire valley. The thick layer of sand which has covered...
