Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Assyrian Life and History The results of research in the Assyrian documents may be described as a new corrimentary on the Old Testament. To use this valuable aid to Biblical study aright, we must understand its language and style, and still more the thought that underlies the expression. In other words, we must not take out fragments here and there, and use them as notes in our Bibles, but we must examine the whole body of documents, and acquaint ourselves with their writers. We must learn something definite as to the Assyrian race, with its language, religion, art, and manners, and read its connected history. Thus, and thus only, can we use its writings with advantage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Assyria From the Earliest Times to the Fall of Nineveh It will be seen by this work that there are great and important periods of Assyrian history of which we know nothing or next to nothing; the reason of which is, that sufficient excavations and researches have not been made on the sites of the Assyrian cities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Assyrian Historiography, Vol. 3: A Source Study To the serious student of Assyrian history, it is obvious that we cannot write that history until we have adequately dis cussed the sources. We must learn what these are, in other words, we must begin with a bibliography of the various docu ments. Then we must divide them into their various classes, for different classes of inscriptions are of varying degrees of accuracy. Finally, we must study in detail for each reign the sources, discover which of the various documents or groups of documents are the most nearly contemporaneous with the events they narrate, and on these, and on these alone, base our history of the period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Assyria AT the beginning Of' all things, when the world was new, and men were finding out bit by bit what they could do and how to do it, there were two countries that were more important than any others. They were both the valleys Of great rivers, and it was the rivers that made them what they were. The one country was Egypt - that wonderful land Where the Nile comes rolling down from the Great Lake Basin of equatorial Africa, and flows for hundreds of miles between temples and pyramids erected by the greatest builders the world has ever seen. About Egypt, two of these little books have already told you. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Assyria, Vol. 7: Its Princes, Priests, and People And the revelation that awaited the decipherer was startling in the extreme. The ruins of Nineveh yielded not only sculptures and inscriptions carved in stone, but a whole library of books. True, the books are written upon clay, and not on paper, but they are none the less real books, dealing with all the subjects of knowledge known at the time they were compiled, and presenting us with a clear and truthful reflection of Assyrian thought and belief. We can not only trace the archi tectural plans of the Assyrian palaces, and study the bas-reliefs in which the Assyrians have pictured them selves and the life they led; we can also penetrate to their inmost thoughts and feelings, and read their history as they have told it themselves.
