OCCULT PEN?

ENGLISHMAN WRITES AT DICTATION OF OSIRIS IGNORANT OF EGYPTOLOGY Astounding is the description given by science to an instance of so-called inspired writing in which an Eng- : lishman claims to be actuated by the Egyptian diety Osiris, revealed by the recent discovery that the supposed mummy of King Akhenaton was really that of his successor, Hmenkakere. The supposed mummy at Akhenaton was among those recently transferred from the vCairo Museum to the great Mausoleum, built by Zaghlul Pasha, when he was Premier. The "Daily Mail" says that the Englishman who is of normal athletic type, has not been abroad except in wartime to France, and is ignorant of Egyptology. Ple began without warning in 1925, to write at what he believed to be the dictation of Osiris. It is now interesting to relate that the "Chronicles of Osiris," published in 1927 pointed out that Akhenaton's mummy had not yet been discovered and recalled that Akhenaton the so-called heretic king, who forsook the worship of the ordinary gods and incurred the anger of the priests, built an undergrourid shrine at Thebes, which was entered by a doorway opened by secret levers to which his followers when he died conveyed his mummy to avoid desecration.D "The Chronicles of Osiris," declare "this subterranean chamber will shortly be uncovered owing to the accidental discovery of a lever, revealing a body in a gold and alabaster sarcophagus beside the ossified remains of thgtKing's chief singer, Hareesh, who oore him a son who later became King Tutankhamen.
