Description
Excerpt from Meydum and Memphis (III)
On making a wide clearance at the bottom we found the end of the entrance passage shewing, (see the left hand of p1.x, filled by a plug of stone, with a great lintel over it, and a wall of brickwork on each side. The wall on the north turned round a corner, as seen in the view, and ran back to B. From B to A (see letters on views 1 and 2, and on the plan pl. Xii) was a slope of plastering, and at A rose up a retaining wall of plastered brick. These brick walls all have a strong batter, which is shewn by the top and bottom outlines parallel on the plan.
