After a two hour
examination the emptying
started. 300 workers
were involved. (NoteEL:
they worked naked, so
as not to be able to steal
anything.)
Brugsch and two
Egyptian officials
received the objects one
by one as they emerged
from the shaft (but
nobody made any
notes). The artifacts
were taken to the bottom
of the hill and lined up
side on side under
constant surveillance,
(but again nobody
made any notes)
The artifacts were loaded
on to a boat and taken to
Luxor.
Three days later they
were taken to Boulaq.
The museum was too
small to take in all of the
antiquities.

displayed in the Boulaq
