DISCOVERED VAST DEAD CITY
Photographs Taken by Airman Over
Mesopotamia Reveal Site Of Once
Vast Metropolis.

Lieut.. Col. ]. A. Beazeley gives In
Geographical Journal (London) an in
teresting example of how photography
from an airshlp can extend our knowl-
edge. When making an aerial recon-
nalssance in Mesopotamia over terri
tory occupied by the Turks he took q
series Of photographs near Samarra
which shows distinctly the ruins of an
ancient city extending 20 miles along
the Tigris river and two miles and a
half wide, large enough to shelter
easily 100000 inhabitants.
This city would never have been
noticed on earth, since 1t is not marked
by anything but scattered hillocks, al
though pottery and medals had been
discovered on the site. But the photo
graphs show clearly its whole plan,
with its fortiflcations, canals for ir-
rigation, and streets.
The fall Of the airplane within the
enemy lines and the capture of It's
passengers did not permit Colonel
Beazeley to pursue his researches, but
since the British occupied the territory
an archaeological expedition, guided by
the photographs, has begun to explore
the dead city.
