On one side stands a little empty sarcophagus without a lid.

The walls of the chambers and of the passages are covered with large and beautifully polished slabs of granite and marble.

The remaining passages, or rather dens, which are shown here, I did not see.

It may be very interesting for learned men and antiquarians thus to search every corner; but for a woman like myself, brought hither only by an insatiable desire to travel, and capable of judging of the beauties of nature and art only by her own simple feelings, it was enough to have ascended the pyramid of Cheops, and to have seen something of its interior.

This pyramid is said to be the loftiest of all.
