History

Researches into the favorite Goddess.

The intelligent thought of the world is ever advancing to a fuller appreciation of the worth of the past to the present and the future. Never before have associations, societies and journals devoted to historical studies been so numerous. All times and tribes are searched for memorials; the remote corners of modern, medieval and ancient periods are brought under scrutiny; and going beyond these again, the semi-historic eras of tradition and the nebulous gleams from pre-historic milleniums are diligently scanned, that their uncertain story may be prefaced to that registered in "the syllables of recorded time."

A good view of the Assyrian culture from one of their own manuscripts. It includes a quick study of the gods of the Assyrians. Interesting to see the ancients faced the same problems of taxes, religions, and making a living as we do today.

On account of the humped shape of the mountain, however, the diameter of the city is really more than if it were built on a plain.
