EGYPTIAN ART 15 into an undecorated subterranean chamber where the mummywas deposited. The entrance to this well was closed upafter the mummy had been put in its place. The third class of tombs includes those of the kings of theeighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth dynasties. They weremarked by no visible buildings, and the entrances were care-fully concealed. They consisted of a series of chambersexcavated in the mountain side. When a king ascended thethrone he began to construct his tomb. At his death thework ceased abruptly, as we see from unfinished chambersand wall-paintings. Thus the length of a kings reign de-termined the size of his tomb. In the earlier tombs, as thoseat Beni-Hassan, we have scenes from the life of the de-parted; in later ones, as those of the kings, strange sym-bolical pictures representing the judgment of the soul, andits journeys in the lower world.
