In  order  to  complete  our  circuit  of  the  plateau  of  the  Pyramids,
we  proceed  from  the  Sphinx  towards  the  W.  to  'Campbell's  Tomb'
(p.  367),  ascend  thence  to  the  Great  Pyramid,  and  pass  three
uninteresting  small  pyramids  on  the  right.  (That  in  the  centre,
according  to  Herodotus,  was  the  tomb  of  a  daughter  of  Cheops;
that  to  the  S.,  according  to  an  inscription  preserved  in  the  Museum
of  Bulak,  belonged  to  Hentsen,  another  daughter  of  the  same

there  are  two  long  'mortar-pits'  (PI.  m),  and  soon  regain  the
Kiosque  of  the  Khedive  (p.  342),  from  which  we  started.  The  so-
called  Tomb  of  Numbers  (p.  366)  is  on  the  E.  side  of  the  plateau,
a  little  above  the  mud-huts  of  the  Beduiiis.
The  Pyramids  of  Abb  Roash,  the  northernmost  group  in  the  Necro-
polis of  Memphis,  present  little  attraction,  and  are  not  worth  visiting.
