Armageddon's History
Probed by Digging
Through 20 Layers

Cnicago.-Digging through 20
layers of city ruins, an Oriental
institute expedition in Palestine
has probed the entire history of
Armageddon, classic battlefield
of the world. Word that the ex-
petition had struck bedrock at
this site which the Book of Rev.
Citations names as the location
for final battle between forces
of good and evil, was received
here by Director John A. Will
son of the institute.
The date for the twentieth and
oldest city will not be estimated un-
til pottery associated with it has
been more closely studied, reported
Gordon Loud, in charge of excava-
tons at the site.
The l3-acre mount identified as
Armageddon of Bible fame is now
called Megiddo. The Oriental in
stitute began exploring its contents
in 1928 and has found in it ruins
Of civilizations dating from 400 B.
c. back to earlier than 1000 B. c.
Excavations have revealed that.
although battles were fought at Ar
mageddon furiously and often, the
city hourished in the intervals of
peace. This long-forgotten side OF
Armageddon's personality has been
rediscovered in the palace of the
ruling princes.
Its Palace Was Splendid.
Commanding q magnificent view
of the plain. this palace in the Fiji
teenth to Thirteenth centuries be-
fore Christ was luxurious and splen-
did. The ruins show that its many
rooms we're grouped around CEN
trail court, paved with lime, and
painted in brilliant colors. Visitors
to the ivory palace paused to wash
in an anteroom paved with sea-
shells. The hoard OF gold, ivory.
and lapis lazuli treasures found in
the palace testifies to magnificence
OF Canaanite princes in the era when
they were vassals to Egypt.
Solomon's interest in Megiddo has
been recalled by discovery in the
ruins Of great stables which wohid
shelter more than 800 horses at a
time, reminding excavators that
King Solomon in his own day was
probably more widely known for
horses than for wives.
The lowest levels boast architec-
ture surprisingly good for the pc
Rod around 1000 B. c., Mr.. Loud re-
ports, but these early settlements
have been relatively poor in buried
objects.
! In the nineteenth level has been
uncovered a large, round altar
which dates from about the time of
the patriarchs OF the Bible-Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob.
The earliest battle at Armaged-
don. SO far known, was fought in
May. l479 B. c., when Thutmose
the Third of Egypt defeated the ASH
attic allies. This feat was duplicated
in September, 1918 A. D., when Cen
eral Allenby led British division
against Turks near the site.
