Mr. Davison, British Consul to Algiers, when accompanying Mr. Wortley Montague to Egypt, in 1763, discovered here a chamber, before unnoticed, and descended, to a depth of 155 feet, the three successive reservoirs. The principal oblique passage has, since then, been traced by the very enterprising master of a merchant vessel, Captain Caviglia, 200 feet farther down than by any former explorer, and found to communicate with the bottom of the well, which is now filled with rubbish. A circulation of air being thus procured, he was emboldened to proceed 28 feet farther, which brought him to a spacious hall, 66 feet by 27 feet, unequal in altitude, and directly under the centre of the pyramid. In no instance yet recorded has any appearance presented itself of human remains within those apartments, nor indeed was there any possibility of conveying such thither, unless placed there before the erection of the pile itself; for the _extremities_ of the gallery, which leads into the _great chamber_, are so _narrow_ and _circumscribed_, that it is _with difficulty_ one can effect an _entrance into it, even by creeping upon his belly_. The _symbolical anatomy_ prefigured in this contrivance, and which equally exhibits itself in all the temples of the ancients, as well _under_ as _over ground_, is such as almost to have tempted me to make _this_ the occasion on which I should uncover another secret of their mystic code. But a more _concentrated_ opportunity will occur as we advance, and for which this intimation will answer as a prelude; meanwhile, I would have the reader soberly to bethink himself, what possible use could _dead bodies have of wells of water_? Is not _such_ the _type_, as it is also the _accompaniment_, of _life_ and activity? And does not _this_, of itself, subvert the absurdity of those temples having been erected as mere mausoleums for kings?
