Fascinating history of the library. Notes that the library was *not* burned by Julius Caesar, and in fact was around during Roman times, and was finally consigned to the flames by the Moslems:

Campbell's Tomb on the Giza plateau, sometimes attributed to the time of Khufu:

---

---

Together with Col. Howard Vyse and Giovanni Caviglia, Campbell collaborated on excavations in the vicinity of the pyramids at Giza in 1837. Amongst their discoveries was a shaft tomb of the 26th Dynasty (650-525 BC) now known as 'Campbell's tomb'. 1

The very remarkable tomb known as Campbell's tomb, requires some notice here, as it has been associated with the name of Khufu by some writers. For a detailed plan and measurements reference should be made to Col. Vyse's volumes; but we may state the general form of it as a large square pit in the [p. 139] rock, 26 by 30 feet, and 53 feet deep; outside this there is a trench, running all round it at 9 to 22 feet distant; this is 5 feet wide and 73 feet deep. Bars of rock are left at intervals across this trench. Altogether about 10,000 tons of limestone have been excavated here. 2
