Légende

'Khufu's sarcophagus, broken by robbers, in the Great Pyramid, Egypt', 1905. 'See how the tomb-robbers have broken away the corner in their mad search for treasure. There his body was torn from its resting-place and plundered of its rich regalia and splendid jewellery, then left in dishonour and confusion among fragments of stone and tattered mummy-cloth lying upon the floor.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
