Profiteering in Babylon

a record Of gold and jewels in the
temple at Nippur. The collection
is believed to have been intended
to dover the daughter of the King
of Babylon. This king was Nazi-
Maruttash. He ruled in the four
teenth century B. c., of whom the
Tell-el-Amarna tablets speak when
Jerusalem complained of the press
ure from the north and asked aid
which never came.
The female ornaments mentioned
in the catalogue clay tablet coin
eide exactly with those of the god
dess 1shtar, who, according to an
ancient poem, went down to Hades,
but in passing each of the seven
gates had to drop a portion of her
ornaments and clothing until she
entered entirely nude. But her de-
parture from the earth left it love-
less, so a messenger was sent to
ask her to return. She did so. tax
Hng up a portion of her clothing
and ornaments at each gate. She
got home and love returned to earth.
but the messenger had to stay in
Hades. The only item missing in
the catalogue is the golden girdle
which may have been recorded in
the missing portion.
Babylonian cuneiform script is
used in the tablet, except that many
Sumerian ideographs are included.
Many of the objects described are
paralleled in the South American
gold collection recently purchased.
