The sloping passage leading from the hall towards the
Temple of Seti was inscribed on the South side with the 17th chapter,
on the North side with the 99th chapter, of the Book of the Dead .
The Great Hall, the floor of which was more than forty
feet below the surface of the desert, was fifteen feet wide, thirty-four feet
long, and seventeen feet high . There were three doorways, one to the south,
leading to the South Chamber ; one to the east, to the sloping passage ; one to
the north, to the north passage .
The chamber south of the Great Hall is sculptured on
the east, south, and west walls with the 168th chapter of the "
Book of the Dead " . At first sight the arrangement
appears confused, but a closer examination shows a very definite order .
