world. Professor Hilprecht has discov.
cred that in the year 4OO4 B. @. there
existed in the valleys of the Euphrates
and Tigris a very polished state Of civil
hzation and that it had already lasted
for many thousands Of years. The great
seat and center of this very ancient civ
ilzation was the holy city of Nippur.
1t has been on the site of this prehistoric
metropolis that some of his most remark
able discoveries have been made. As
sisted by an able corps of men and with
a large fund at his disposal Professor
Hllprecht began excavations there in
1888, and the work has been continued
throughout the summer months ever
since. Thousands of tablets covered with
cuneiform inscriptions have been IN
earthed. Most of these have been taken
to the Turkish museum at Constantine
pie, for the Turkish government recent
" forbade the importation of archaeo-
logical relics, but owing to the valuable
services rendered by Professor Hilprecht
to the Turkish museum the sultan has
presented him with large and valuable
collection, which he has in turn given
to the museum Of the University of Penn
