The Palace of Nebuehsdnezzar.

Awriter in the Scientific American DC
scnbes The Babylonian excavations WHICH
German Psychologists are conducting.
on all the interesting discoveries that nave
been made, Nebuchadnezzar's palace may
be considered the most important.
Little except the foundations OF the
palace remain, and they are OF square
burned bricks, each of which bears on lis
lower face the name and title OF the great
king. The several huuderd chambers OF
the palace are small; some OF them are
scarcely larger than modern bed. One
chamber, much larger tran the rest, mao
at one side a low platform OF bricks.
That is supposed to have been the throne
room; upon the platform the throne OF
the king probably stood.
There was sacred street 10 BABYLON
that led from the palace 10 the temple.
Along il the images OF the gods were car
RED in procession in time OF festival.
The palace gateway that led to the street,
known as the lshtar gate, is most impos-
ing. and gives the spectator good idea
of how Babylon must have looked in It's
glory. Whatever IFS original height may
have been, it still stands forty feet above
the street.
Its SIX square towers of burned bricks
measure twelve feet each way, and on
all their sides, one above another, there
are beautiful bas-reliefS OF bulls, lions,
dragons, and animals of fantastic shapes.
The reliefs are of brick. glazed blue and
yellow and white, and the coloring is as
fresh as it ever was. Each brick OF the
relief was glazed separately, and SO, ac-
curately that when il was placed in the
wall il formed part the perfect picture.
Within the city OF Assur were discov-
cred the earliest Assyrian palaces and
temples, the home OF the mayor, an IN
tricate system of water-works and drain
age, business street lined with shops
and paved with blocks OF marble, the
thickly crowded residential section OF the
poorer people, the great vaulted iomos OF
the mobiles, with massive doors OF stone.
which still swing on their stone plvots,
innumerable weapons, and ornaments OF
gold and stone.
