FROM PALACE OF PHARAOH
University of Pennsylvania to Have
Pillar That Once Adorned
Ruler's Throneroom.
The first word In a long time fnom
the Eckley 15. Coxe expedition to Egypt
hue been received at the University
! of Pennsylvania museum from I »r.
Clarence S. Fisher, Its leader. Doctor
Fisher reported excellent success dur
ing the winter explorations at Den
dereh, the ancient capital of Egypt, up
j the Nile.
In April he returned to Memphis and
continued his work of uncovering the
palace of Merenpthuh, who Is Identi
fied by many Biblical scholars as the
Pharaoh of the Oppression, whose
stubbornness brought on the plagues.
If this Is correct, the great hull and
throneroom of the palace, which has
now been completely uncovered1, was
the scene of the appearance of Moses
nnd Aaron before Pharaoh, and where
the signs and wonders were performed.
The throne Is said to be In good con
dition, but Egypt will not permit it to
come to this country.
Fortunately, Doctor Fisher has
worked over the pieces of the lit colos
sal pillars which upheld the roof and
has recovered enough to make one
complete pillar, which will be brought
to the university museum and set up.
It will he the most notable specimen
of Egyptian architecture in tills coun
try. Tlio pillars were six feet in diam
eter, 80 feet high, covered with In
scriptions nnd pictures Inlaid with
gold. Much of the paneling of the
room and the lintels of the doors also
were Inlaid with gold, und these will
be brought here.
The natives of Egypt, It Is said, call
the palace “The Temple of Moses," as
they have an Idea that Is where he was
reared.
