2 .-- THE PYRAMIDS.
[For the following translation of this section of Professor Maspero's book I am indebted to the kindness of Mr.W.M.Flinders Petrie, whose work on _The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh_, published with the assistance of a grant from the Royal Society in 1883, constitutes our standard authority on the construction of these Pyramids .-- A.B.E.] The royal tombs have the form of pyramids with a square base, and are the equivalent in stone or brick of the tumulus of heaped earth which was piled over the body of the warrior chief in prehistoric times (Note 14).

The same ideas prevailed as to the souls of kings as about those of private men; the plan of the pyramid consists, therefore, of three parts, like the mastaba, -- the chapel, the passage, and the sepulchral vault.
The chapel is always separate.
