What reading level is Eastern Exploration Past And Future Lectures At the Royal Institution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, read 7000 B. C.
COPPER AGE OF SUMER 69 data the site of Babylon cannot be older than about 2000 B. C. , so it is useless to expect any- thing of the early neolithic or oldest population in the plain south of that . In the time of Naram- Sin Susa looked down on the Persian Gulf, and was therefore only accessible by a shore route from Babylonia.
In the Sumerian civilization metals were fami- liar. The Copper Age goes back to the earliest cemeteries known, as it did also in Egypt; and it continu...ed down to Gudea, and perhaps Ham- murabi, also in accord with its date in Egypt. The two different ideographs used for copper have been supposed to show the use of copper and bronze ; but it is more likely that they refer to native copper hammered into shape, and smelted copper from ore tast into shape. Both sources of copper were used in early times, the native copper distinguished by the bulgy out- lines of the forms, the cast copper by flat planes or by relief ornament. The copper figures found beneath temples as a foundation deposit, were perhaps the permanent representatives of founda- tion sacrifices; an actual sacrifice would decay and disappear the copper figure of it was per- manent, as the sculptured offerings of the Egyptian also were permanent.
