Text Appearing Before Image:
Plate LVH— PART OF THE ASSYRIAN ACCOUNT OF THE CREATION, inscribed incuneiform characters on a fragment of a clav tablet, from the Library of Assur-bani-pal, king ofAssvria (B. C. 668-626), at Nineveh. (British Museum, No. K. 5419.)The text describes a time when water was the parent of all things, when there was universal darkness, and when as yet there was neither heaven, nor earth, and when the gods themselves had not been begotten. Then the gods Lakhmu and Lakhamu were created, and afterwards the other gods, Shar, Kishar; &c, came into being.
Text Appearing After Image:
Plate LV.-« CUNEIFORM TEXT OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR IT., king of Babylon (B.C. 605-561). (Inscribed in archaic Babylonian characters upon a black basalt slab found among the ruins of Babylon, now in the India Office.) This text records the genealogy and titles of Nebuchadnezzar, and declares his reverence for the gods Marduk and Nebo. To build a temple in honour of the god Marduk, Nebuchadnezzar has brought together gold, silver, precious stones, bronze, costly woods, &c; and he describes the great works, architectural and other, which he undertook to the glory of his gods, the beauty of his city, and the good of his people. He restored and completed Imgur-Bel and Nimitti-Bel, the great walls of Babylon, which his father Nabopolassar had begun, and he fortified Babylon on all sides.
