Buried Countries of Asia Minor
Furnish New Field for Explorer,
Lecturer Tells D. G. Archaeologists

While there are no longer new
lands to be discovered above earth,
beneath the surface of Asia Minor
can be found many buried countries
that when cXcavated reveal the past
histories of ancient civilizations.
DR.. David NJ. Robinson, professor of
archaeology at the Johns Hopkins
University and professor in the
American School at Athens. told the
Archaeological Society at its meet
ing Saturday afternoon at the resi-
dence Of Charles Henry Butler.
Showing pictures of buried places,
among them Laodicea. Hierapolis.
sardes. Pergamum. smyrna, Ephe-
sus. Priene. and Miletus, that are
being unearthed by systematic cx-
cavation, Prof Robinson told how
monuments illustrating the Biblical
Passages have been revealed by this
work. Many of these places belong
to the seven churches of Asia. the
lecturer pointed out.
The city of Sardes, where Crocsus
described as the Rockefeller OF an
tiquity," lived. and the theater and
wonderful library of CIesus, the
Carnegie of antiquity" located in
the now important port of Ephcsus.
Smyrna. were shown and described.
The trials of deciphering the in,
scriptions of the buried temples, and
how well-preserved inscriptions in
the Lydian language, that no one
has yet been able to read. have been
found were described.
