Excerpt: ...of the magnificent edifices of Babylon, as described by classical authors, and whether in all their variety of construction any remains of the arch is to be found. As his remarks are very curious, and the "Munimenta" rather a costly work, I shall give the passage in his own words, only a little abridged in respect to the profusion of Greek learning displayed in it. "Concerning its great bridge over the Euphrates, Herodotus expressly tells us, that it was built first of stones bound together with lead and iron; upon which were laid oAa Tetjd.yma, squared beams. It must, therefore, plainly have consisted merely of a certain number of stone piers, with timbers placed from pier to pier. "And that there were no arches, in the gates of its walls, is most decidedly apparent, from the particular words Herodotus makes use of, and from the precision of his account. "For he says, that in the compass of its walls there were an hundred gates, all of brass, even their posts, and their upper lintels of the same metal; where the peculiar word uVf'pflupa, upper lintels, excludes utterly every idea of an arch. "Diodorus, indeed, besides the bridge, describes a subterraneous covered passage under the Euphrates, by means of which the Queen could pass from the old palace to the new palace, a distance that, according to Strabo's account, cannot have been less than the extent of a stadium; and this passage has been supposed to have been arched. "But when we come to examine the words of Diodorus with more minute precision, we may perceive, that, although it might be deemed to have been indeed vaulted, yet that no real arch was introduced in the construction; and that the closing of the vaulting above was merely by a...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The looting of the Iraqi National Museum in April of 2003 provoked a world outcry at the loss of artifacts regarded as part of humanity's shared cultural patrimony. But though the losses were unprecedented in scale, the museum looting was hardly the first time that Iraqi heirlooms had been plundered or put to political uses. From the beginning of archaeology as a modern science in the nineteenth century, Europeans excavated and appropriated Iraqi antiquities as relics of the birth of Western civilization. Since Iraq was created in 1921, the modern state has used archaeology to forge a connection to the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and/or Islamic empires and so build a sense of nationhood among Iraqis of differing religious traditions and ethnicities. This book delves into the ways that archaeology and politics intertwined in Iraq during the British Mandate and the first years of nationhood before World War II. Magnus Bernhardsson begins with the work of British archaeologists who conducted extensive excavations in Iraq and sent their finds to the museums of Europe. He then traces how Iraqis' growing sense of nationhood led them to confront the British over antiquities law and the division of archaeological finds between Iraq and foreign excavators. He shows how Iraq's control over its archaeological patrimony was directly tied to the balance of political power and how it increased as power shifted to the Iraqi government. Finally he examines how Iraqi leaders, including Saddam Hussein, have used archaeology and history to legitimize the state and its political actions.
