Where Are the Old Cities

THERE are three leading questions that everyone
who makes special study of archaeology is
called upon to answer almost daily First how does
il happen that ancient cities their entirety
covered with earth forming sometimes veritable
hills of their own materials, and preserving their
treasures of wealth and art until days? Second

fall of ancient cities different in different
times and places. The unique example of Pompei
Herculaneum, and Stabise is familiar to all. Three
hourishing with the fertile farms and smiling
villas about them, overwhelmed in night
by the awful river of lava and rain of ashes from
the volcano; and since the recent eruption OF
Eesuvi,ls and that of Mont Pelee we have been able
study these phenomena in all their terrible reality.
But such not the lot of the hundreds and thou
sands of cities and towns of the ancient world.
How then is it that they too were buried not by a
sudden visitation of fate, but by the hand of man
the slow, engulfng lapse of time
Consider the turbulent conditions of ancient life.
War the spirit of the age,-state against state
and city against city in implacable rivalry, until
Rome by conquering all brought peace within the
boundaries of civilization. The laws of early war
fare knew little of the sentiment of mercy; once
city taken and sacked, its people, men, women,
and children sold into slavery put to the
sword, its buildings and walls razed to the ground,
and, if to preclude its rising from its ashes,
the very site plowed over and leveled with the
surrounding plain, As Horace says:
Proud cities by anger have to their fall
Walls and towers been razed by fell demolition,
And the pow with its burrows has covered them all.

a mass of shapeless wreckage, and threw
themselves into the seething flames. Yet,
he says, The town was taken with
immense booty Though almost every
thing had been purposely destroyed by
the citizens, and in the promiscuous
massacre old and young alike had per
ished, and what few captives were taken
alive became the booty of the soldiery.
nevertheless from the public auction of
what was left large sum of money was
secured, and much precious household
furniture and clothing was sent to Car
