Translation of Papyrus #32, Batch #7, Site A
Translation by Dr. Sarah Mercer
| ||||
Ehab cannot cut stones necessary to seal cracks. Even workers are scared to enter structure. Also, chamber stones are one cubit high. The opening to the tunnels is only one half a cubit. The stones could not enter with the workers. Imhotep is speaking with others to see what can be done. Imhotep knows people who can make rock from water. (Plaster) is crushed rock in water that hardens in cracks. Somehow different from mortar. If the chamber stones are fixed then there is hope to save the tomb. But the workers are scared of a collapse. Ehab is also scared.

I think this writing speaks for itself. Hany has some other ideas.
