Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Greatest Nations From the Dawn of History, to the Twentieth Century At the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, the inscription over the booth of the Egyptian exhibit was, From the oldest nation to the young est, and it is the custom of all histories to give to Egypt the credit which She thus claimed. Yet it is by no means certain that such credit is her due. There are researches going on at this hour which cannot fail to throw a flood of light on the problem. Indeed, it is safe to say that the glory that has long been accorded to the Land of the Pharaohs has already been taken from it. In 1897, the remarkable discoveries made by the Pennsylvania University expedi tion at Nippur, in Asia Minor, moved back the history of Babylonian civilization to a period of more than years before the birth Of christ. Nippur has been proven to be Calneh, one of the four cities mentioned in Genesis x. 10 as the beginning of the kingdom of Nimrod. Professor Hilprecht, scientific director of the expedition, returned to Constantinople in the summer of 1900 and described some of the results of that year's work in the ancient city. Un doubtedly the most important discovery is the library of the great temple of Nippur. As far back as 1889, when Dr. Peters, of New York, was at the head of the expedition, Professor Hilprecht pointed out that the remains of this library would be found at the very place where they were discovered eleven years later. In the Space of three months, fully tablets, covered with cuneiform or wedge shaped writing, were brought to light. The writing was found to be of a different character from that on previous tablets, which were mainly private busi ness contracts, conveyances, letters, etc. The latest discoveries are historical, philological and literary, and treat of mythology, of grammar and lexicography, of science, and of mathematics. It will require a considerable time to complete the investigations and translation, but it is believed that they will enable the world for the first time to form a truthful idea of life in Babylonia, which ex tends far back into the remote ages of antiquity.

This book was released on 2018-02-17 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gentile Nations, or the History and Religion of the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes, Persians, Greeks, and Romans: Collected From Ancient Authors and Holy Scripture, and Including the Recent Discoveries in Egyptian, Persian, and Assyrian Inscriptions; Forming a Complete Connexion of Sacred and Profane History, and Showing the Fulfilment of Sacred Prophecy In the first place, then, it is an undoubted fact, that the religion of Persia was reared on precisely the same founda tion as that of Assyria. That the palace-temples were built on the same general plan in both countries, is unquestionable, and has been proved beyond the possibility of a doubt by Mr. Fergusson in his very valuable work. And this is not a mere isolated circumstance, remotely connected with the subject, as might at first appear to us under the influence of our European habits and ideas: it stands in immediate relation to the ruling element of this great religious system. It involves the character of the whole structure of the religious fabric. As was shown in the case of Assyria, - the peculiar compound of divine and regal dignity sustained by the king was really the centre of the whole system of faith. He was emphatically, by divine right, the religious, as well as the political, head of the people. His person was sacred: his official residence united the characters of palace and temple. In fact, we have in this single circumstance a common principle which sub stantially identifies the great scheme of Persian religion with that of the more ancient kingdoms of Assyria and Babylon. Lest, however, it should be supposed that I build too much on a single circumstance, I will satisfy the reader by quoting a passage from Dr. Layard, which will be found conclusive. Although, observes that indefatigable ex plorer, we may not at present possess sufficient materials to illustrate the most ancient Sabaeanism of the Assyrians.
