An interesting reference to the wall of Frech occurs Hilprecht, ib. i. 1, no. 26. Kosmologie, p. 172. Jeremias' Izdubar-Nimrod, p. 15, conjectures that the death of the king has evoked distress, but that is highly improbable.
For various views regarding the name and character of this dynasty see Winckler, Geschichte, pp. 67, 68, 328; Hilprecht, Assyriaca, pp. 25-28, 102, 103; Winckler, Altorientalische Forschungen, I. 275-277, and Rogers, Outlines, 32, note. See Delitzsch, Die Sprache der Kossaer. The Babylonian religion in the oldest form known to us may best be described as a mixture of local and nature cults.
Are you Throwing Stones at Christ and His Cause? When it comes to "Looking Backward," Bellamy isn't in it a little bit with Prof. Herman V. Hilprecht. The retrospective glance of the latter covers a period of at least 11,000 years; and what is of infinitely more importance, it is that of a learned paleologist instead of a sensation-mongering empiric.
I can only mention the names of the Englishmen Taylor and Loftus; of the Frenchmen, Place and De Sarzec; and, later, the Americans, Peters, Hilprecht, and Haynes, who have so faithfully explored the extremely archaic mound of Niffer, which I had the honor to recommend for excavation after I had visited the mounds of Southern Babylonia in the winter of 1884-85.

The results of the excavations by the American Expedition, published by Prof. Hilprecht, of the U. of Pa., show that in the time of King Sargon of Accad, art and literature flourished in Chaldea. The region of the garden of Eden was the pivot of the civilization of the world. From this region radiated the early civilization of Babylonia, Assyria and Egypt.
If you will put the two together, you will have confirmation of my words. But the third ring you have not found yet, and you never will find it." The professor awoke, bounded out of bed, as Mrs. Hilprecht testifies, and was heard crying from his study, "It is so, it is so!" Mrs.
What will the historian of that faraway time have to say of Mark Hanna? Printing has been called "the art preservative"; but is it? Suppose the priests of Bel that deity who antedates by so many centuries the Jewish Jehovah had committed the history of their temples to "cold type" instead of graving it upon sacred vases: Would Prof. Hilprecht and other Assyriologists be deciphering it to-day?
If History be Philosophy teaching by example, what lesson does Prof. Hilprecht bring us from the chronicles of those kings who died 5,000 years before that garden was planted "eastward in Eden!"
