pasSively gaze, as the symbolic
sphinx Tin Egypt, or the stone
god of eternity Gin Mexico). How
nations come and go; how civili-
cations are built and follow in
ruin; how people live, enjoy, and
suffer, brewed up in wars and
disappearing in blood
And, the pyramids remain as
witnesses over the ruins; and they
tell the later generations with
their graphic language of HERO
glyphics (the same in Egypt as in
Mexico), about the kings and the
gods, and about the wars and the
disturbances, which have passed
before their swaying stony walls,
during the periods of thousands
of years.
l am standing on the crest of
the pyramid of the sum-" which
is only few miles from today's
modern Mexico. One can see from
here the ruins of an ancient city,
eight miles square, the Anticipated
capital of the Indian-Aztec king
dom, which disappeared when the
white man came.
Near to me, stretching forth to
the sky, is the sister, pyramid of
the moon," the temple of the gods
of rain, fruitfullness, air
Here also, as in Egypt, and as
in Babylonia, diggers are un-
covering, discovering, and doing
research on the world that went
under; and, at. last, they are trans
lating the inscriptions, which
were heretofore illegible.
