What reading level is Hasisadra's Adventure book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The adherentsof modern theological systems dismiss these objects of the love andfear of a hundred generations of their equals, offhand, as "gods of theheathen, " mere creations of a wicked and idolatrous imagination; and, along with them, they disown, as senseless, the crude theology, with itsgross anthropomorphism and its low ethical conception of the divinity, which satisfied the pious souls of Chaldaea.
I imagine, though I do not presume to be sure, that any endeavourto save the intellectual... and moral credit of Chaldaean religion, by suggesting the application to it of that universal solvent ofabsurdities, the allegorical method, would be scouted; I will noteven suggest that any ingenuity can be equal to the discovery of theantitypes of the personifications effected by the religious imaginationof later ages, in the triad Anu, Ea, and Bel, still less in Istar. Therefore, unless some plausible reconciliatory scheme should bepropounded by a Neo-Chaldaean devotee (and, with Neo-Buddhists tothe fore, this supposition is not so wild as it looks), I suppose themoderns will continue to smile, in a superior way, at the grievousabsurdity of the polytheistic idolatry of these ancient people.
