i. Three cartouches in hieroglyphs (Inscription no. 2) and face of a king. 2, 3. Inscriptions (nos. 4a, 4/;) in hieroglyphs from the doorway of the sanctuary. CHAPTER VII THE NECROPOLIS Preliminary Note upon the General Characteristics of the Burial Customsand Funerary Deposits. (With Plates XXXVI-XL.) The necropolis of Meroe lay in the desert immediately eastward of the city.Further to the east are the three groups of pyramids, and it is interesting to noticethat the area covered by the tombs is divided by surface features into three portions.These dividing marks, it is true, may be of comparatively modern formation, beingonly depressions in the sand formed by the scour of summer rains; but consideringthe uniform climate of the country it is not impossible that they date from the sameantiquity as the tombs. Our investigations have, in fact, shown that these physicaldepressions do correspond to a certain extent with distinctions of structure and burialcustoms. By reference to the map
