RUINS OF BABYLON
How Nebuchadnezzar and His
People Lived.
EXPOSING BURIED PALACES
Interesting and Valuable knowledge
From a German Activity in
Mesopotamia.

Edgar J. Banks in the Scientific American.
The excavations conducted by the Ger
mans in the Mesopotamian valley began
in 1899, and are still continued. The ruins
of several Babyonian cities. Abu Habba,
Fara, Babylon and of the Assyrian capt.
tai Assur. have been uncovered in most
systematic manner. The results have been
meager in some of the ruins; in others
they have been of the greatest archeoloS-
ical Importance. The general oversight
of the entire field has been in the hands
of DIR. Robert koldewey, an architect,
who has personally superintended the eN-
cavations at Baby lon. and who has had
large and varied career in oriental eX-
cavation work. He has been assisted by
several Assyriologists and architects; OF
these, DIR. Maresh, now in charge of the
work at Assur, deserves great credit.
The funds for the support of the eX-
cavation have been provided by the
Deutsche Orientgeselschaft; TO which the
German emperor has been a liberal con-
tributor. This German activity in Meso-
potamia far surpasses that of any other
nation, which activity may be due to the
fact that the German government would
increase it's influence in that part OF the
world, perhaps with the hope that when
the German railroad across the northern
desert to Bagdad shall have been COM
p.eted tnis land OF mineral wealth and
of ancient ruins may be practically Ger
man territory.
Abu Habba, small ruin in central
Baby lonia, and Fara, few miles far
Their south, were the first to attract the
German eXcavators; the results at these
two ancient sites Were comparatively In
significant. At Abu Habba trenches re-
vealed scarcely more than the walls OF
the houses from a middle period OF
Babylonian history, and the work was
soon abandoned. AT Fara, low mound.
half mile in length and about halt as
wide, work was continued for about nine
months, with force of 700 men. Be-
ginning at one end of the ruins, trenches
about ten feet wide and five feet deep and
d few yards apart were dug entirely
across the mound, and whenever the
walls OF house appeared they were fol-
lowed until the nature of the structure
was revealed. The results were few. An
abundance of pottery, some marble vases,
vertical drains of tiles and wells only
were discovered. Finally, when the sys-
tenn of trenches had been carried the en-
tire length of the mound large palace
OF an exceedingly early age appeared. In
the chambers were several large clay tab
lets covered with primitive cuneiform
characters. 1t happened that in fight
during the work an Arab was killed,
whereupOn the excavations were stopped
by the Turkish government. The in
scriptions revealed the ancient name of
the city as Shurippak. the scene Of the
Babylonian story of the flood which ap-.
