Whatis true of one Chaldæan city is equally true of all of them, and thedynasties of Uruk and of Lagash, like those of Uru, can be reconstructedfrom the revelations of their brickwork. The lords of heaven promisedto the lords of the earth, as a reward of their piety, both glory andwealth in this life, and an eternal fame after death: they have, indeed, kept their word. The majority of the earliest Chaldæan heroes would beunknown to us, were it not for the witness of the ruined sanctuarieswhich ...they built, and that which they did in the service of theirheavenly patrons has alone preserved their names from oblivion. Theirmost extravagant devotion, however, cost them less money and effort thanthat of the Pharaohs their contemporaries. While the latter had tobring from a distance, even from the remotest parts of the desert, thedifferent kinds of stone which they considered worthy to form part ofthe decoration of the houses of their gods, the Chaldæan kings gatheredup outside their very doors the principal material for their buildings:should they require any other accessories, they could obtain, atthe worst, hard stone for their statues and thresholds in Mâgan andMilukhkha, and beams of cedar and cypress in the forests of the Amanusand the Upper Tigris.
