Excerpt from Tombs of the Third Egyptian Dynasty: At Req???qnah and B???t Khall???f Egyptian history is now of the first import ance and supreme interest. It is concerned directly with the origin of the Egyptian peoplefinot, indeed, with the ethnological question of their parent stock, for that is necessarily associated with the study of its early prehistoric period, but with a historical point not less important, as to the continuity or otherwise of the people, as revealed by the prehistoric culture, through and into the period when with the definite introduction of writing the historic age, known by the name of the First Dynasty, began. That there should be in either case some overlap in art and customs is not unnatural. But if no special innova tions are to be seen, and if continuity of racial or essential characteristics can be traced bevond and living through the early historic times, and merging naturally with the gradual changes of a later period, then there is evidence of con tinuity of race. And the measure of that con tinuity will be determined by the proportion of those characteristics which survive to those which are. Discontinuous, and the extent to which those which are continuous prevail over or are predominated by any new ones which may appear at the suspected break.
