suburb limit built by Nebuchadnezzar
and his father, and that the long line
of rulers who preceded them lived in
some other part of the city. 1t seems
that Amran, as the Arabs call another
mound here, is the most likely spot,
for it alone of all the mounds is high
enough to hold the ruins which we
have right to expect. On the surface
is layer of graves of late date, but
of what is beneath we know nothing
at all. This hill is to be the next point
of attack, and we shall work with even
a larger force than hitherto. In the
course of the excavations various frag-
ments of cylinders have been found,
as we'll as statues of different Baby
lonian deities. After searching for
the palace of Nebuchadnezzar beyond
the east canal the rest of the mounds
will be eXcavated."

But what is considered the most i'm
portant of all the discoveries is a
cylinder upon which the DEGREES of the
kings were written, containing a pro-

first the explorers found, but it was
even larger than it had been said to be
by Herodotus. The outer retaining
wall was twenty-three and a half feet
thick, made of baked bricks, laid with
asphalt, next to which came a filling
of sand and gravel sixty-nine feet

forty-four feet thick, making the en-

On the map you will see two rivers
flowing southwest toward the Persian
gulf. Just before they reach the gulf
one river empties into the other. The
larger of these two rivers is the Eu-
phrates and the other the Tigris,
About three hundred miles from the
gulf are the ruins in which DR.. Kolde-

his Arab workmen are digging into the

extended along the Euphrates for
miles, and is said to have been larger
in the space it covered and the number
of people within its walls than Lon

These gardens ranked among the seven
wonders of the world, and consisted OF
arches seventy-five feet high, extend

were trees and plants of every variety
of form and color. From a distance
the arches themselves could not be
seen. so that the gardens seemed to be
hanging in the air. In his report,

Doors lead from the court to a series
of large chambers, the walls of which
are literally ornamented. There is
double tile pavement in the court and
the rooms. A space of six and a half
feet lies between the two pavements,
and in this strange store chamber
some fifty inscribed tablets have been
found. containing the names and
wages of the men engaged in the build

excavations any old buildings or
traces of them. There are some re-
