This underground
chapel of Queen Meresankh III was discovered by the Museum Expedition.
The first photograph, taken on May 8, 1927, shows two pillars with figures
of Meresankh, with wall statues of the queen in the adjoining chamber.
On the architrave (cross-beam) above, the painted hieroglyphic "ankh"
sign, forming part of the name of "Mer-es-ankh," is visible. The second
photograph of the same view, taken on April 20, 1999, shows how valuable
modern color photography is to archaeological documentation.
