EXCAVATIONS AT ANCIENT
CARTHAGE.

Two French arch9ol0gists, VI. Icard
and NJ. GielIy, assert that they have
made sufficient excavations among { e
ruins Of the ancient city of Carthage to
disprove the generally accepted theories
of origin and foundation. This famous
city of African antiquity was situated in
the territory now belonging to punis. 1t
is suppose to have been the latest Of the
Phoenician colonies and to have been
settled by people from Tyre and Utica
sometime in the middle of the ninth
century before Christ. One legend says
that the city was founded by Dido, or
ELISA, of Tyre. Dido was the kings
daughter and after her fathers death her
brother murdered her husband to obtain
his wealth. According to the tradition
Dido took the treasure and fled from
Tyre with a party of friends 10 the coast
of Africa where she founded the city
of Carthage on Byrsa hill.
But these beautiful stories are about
to be upset by ever meddling science and
proved to be mere inventions of Virgil
and other poets. A Punic temple dedi-
Gated to the Egyptian Getty FAINT was
unearthed some time ago and in it were
v0tive Jars containing the bones OF sa@rI-
feed infants. This leads the archnolo-
gists to doubt the PnOenician, Chaldean
or Greek origin of Carthage. They place
its beginning back to the period during
the Trojan war. But it is possible that
there was an Egyptian colony IN Car
thage. One Cf the characteristics Of the
early maritime republics was their tolar-
ance of all sects and natiOnaIitieS. The
scientists also claim that tn y have dis

offer evidence to show that the original
city must hav6'been { nile from Byrsa
hill where DiGo is said to have founded
it. The Pathfinder, Oct. 218t
