The Deutsche Orient Gesellschaft gives an
Interesting account Of the past years excava
ton work in three different parts OF Babylon
In the town quarter known as Kasr were
laid bare several hundred meters of wall
about 80 feet thick, broken by numerous door
openings which were originally ianked by
towers. The most interesting find here was
coffin of burned clay on the lid OF which was
a relief OF bearded head.
Near the north wall of the quarter known
Sachn was discovered a system of drains,
built Of brick laid in asphalt. Here were also
found several fragments OF tablets with cuni
form inscriptions from the time of Nebuchad-
nezzar. This discovery enabled the excava-
tors to complete fragmentary tablets discover
ed some time before.
The legend proved to refer to the building
OF the Zigurrat. the temple tower of Babylon.
