The Rev. q. n. Gordon, writing in
the Church Missionary Intelligence, thus
describes the reputed site of the Tower
of Babel.
A high mound is surmounted by a
ruined and unfinished tower of brick.
the summit of which is 235 feet above the
unin. An examination OF the mound
shows that il is composed of the same
clements as the mounds of Babylon-
masses of brick and rubbish, interspersed
with broken pottery. These bricks ere
all OF them inscribed on one side with
cuneiform characters. The cunei-
form is the ancient Assyrian, and
is supposed to be the oldest writ
ten language in the world One
side, where excavations have been made,
Won may see walls of brick ascending tier
above tier with mastery ambitions. On
another, all in convulsion and disturb
ance--huge masses of brick work, rent
and overturned, yet, so solid in their
ruin that it is easier to pulverize the
brick than to separate it from the mortar.
One of these blocks rolled bodily to the
foot of the mound. Others are yitrified
or fused by process which can be none
other than electricity or fire. Curiously
enough the Arabs have tradition that it
has been destroyed by fire from heaven.
The sides of the mound are pierced with
holes and strewn with bones, which
plainly indicate the lairs of wild beasts.
The view from the summit at sunrise is
distant and varied. The broad sheet
of the Euphrates winds for many mile.
until lost in the distance in the sea
like plain. 1t is difficult to resist the
conviction that Birs Nimrod is the Tower
of Babel, the oldest ruin in the world.
There are those who like Mr.. Rich) be.
leve it to be the Tower of Belus, and re-
gard it as a part of the ruin of Babylon,
but prefer to hold the older tradition.
And, surely, it is, when standing on
ground like this, that the language Of the
Scriptures acquires vividness and real
ity which rewards the toll of patient in
vestigation, and makes the privations of
travel forgotten; and voice seems to
breath from the resting place of the
prophets beside these mighty rivers
which is daily more heard and felt, re-
buking the sneer of the scoffer and the
skeptic.
