Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nippur or Explorations and Adventures on the Euphrates, Vol. 2: The Narrative of the University of Pennsylvania Expedition to Babylonia in the Years 1888-1890; Second Campaign While at Constantinople I received a telegram from Philadelphia advising me that continuance Of the Expedi tion was improbable, and a letter from the President of the Fund, asking for my resignation. I could not but feel that the Committee was quite justified in making such a request, buti feared that my resignation would be the end of American exploration in Babylonia for some time to come. My effects returned from Trebizond to Constantinople on the 22d, and on the same day I started for Bremen, stopping at Dresden on the way to see my family. My wife's representations that my honor was at stake, and that I must carry the Expedition through to success or perish in the attempt, fixed my resolution to endeavor to secure the continuance of the work under my own direction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nippur, or Explorations and Adventures on the Euphrates, Vol. 1: The Narrative of the University of Pennsylvania Expedition to Babylonia in the Years 1888-1890 It was my good fortune to be, in a sense, the discoverer of Nippur, as these pages will show, but this was in very truth my good fortune, and not my merit. Our first year's work, which is described in the first volume, was more or less of a failure, so far at least as Nippur was concerned. In contrast with this, our second campaign, which is described in the second volume, was a complete success. The amount of ia scribed stones, bricks, and tablets found by us was enormous, not to speak of uninscribed objects, sarcophagi, pottery, stone and metal implements, and the like; but what was far more important, a large part of these objects came from a period up to that time regarded as not only prehistoric, but even remotely prehistoric, antedating all possible history by several millenniums. In fact, we had found the oldest inscriptions ever discovered. Further, we had in large part explored the Temple of Bel, and in doing so had made an important con tribution to the history of religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the preface: "These two volumes bear the title, Nippur. Before the explorations of the University of Pennsylvania Expedition, that name was known only to a few scholars, and they knew little more than the name of the city and that at an early period it had played an important part in the religious development of Babylonia and, through Babylonia, of the world. We now know that in the times of the glory of Nineveh and Babylon the name of " Nippur " was as familiar to the citizens of those cities as the names of Nineveh and Babylon are to us, and that Nippur exercised on their religious life and religious development an influence as potent as that of Jerusalem on our own. The Temple of Bel at Nippur was to the religion of Babylonia and Assyria very much what the Temple of Jerusalem was to our religion. It was this city, which exercised so great an influence on the religious life of the people that so long dominated the civilized world, and so materially affected and determined the religious and scientific development of both Orient and Occident, and particularly the great Temple of Bel in that city, the oldest temple in the world, which the University of Pennsylvania Expedition explored. I have called this temple " the oldest temple in the world." We found that Nippur was a great and flourishing city, and its temple, the Temple of Bel, the religious centre of the dominant people of the world at a period as much prior to the time of Abraham as the time of Abraham is prior to our day. We discovered written records no less than 6000 years old, and proved that writing and civilization were then by no means in their infancy. Further than that, our explorations have shown that Nippur possessed a history extending backward of the earliest written documents found by us, at least 2000 years."
