that halted the battle for several
hours. This something was nothing
more nor less than a huge rock,
which, falling upon the helmet of the
mighty Cyrus, put him out of busi-
ness and into the field hospital
The Babylonians used rocks in lieu
of cannon balls. These rocks were
thrown by giant catapults. also by
individuals. The scene during which
the accident happened was where
Belshazzar's warriors, on top of Baby
Ions walls, were hurting rocks on
the hordes of Cyrus as they strove
on the plain below to pierce the walls
with battering rams.
In order to prevent accidents, Mr..
Griffith arranged to have the men on
the walls cry a signal warning prior
to the throwing of rock. But one
excited Babylonian forgot to give the
signal, with the result that the leader
OF the enemy went down and out.
