What reading level is Nineveh And Babylon a Narrative of a Second Expedition to Assyria During the Y book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The walls of their palaces and temples were also coated, as we learn from several passages in the Bible, with mortar and plaster, which, judging from their cement, must have been of very fine quality. The fingers of the man's hand wrote the words of condemnation of the Babylonian empire ' upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace. ' Upon those walls were painted historical and religious subjects, and various ornaments, and, according to Diodorus Siculus, the bricks were enamelled with t...he figures of men and animals. Images of stone were no doubt introduced into the buildings. We learn from the Bible that figures of the gods in this material, as well as in metal, were kept in the Babylonian temples. But such sculptures were not common, otherwise more re- mains of them must have been discovered in the ruins. * It may be conjectured that, in their general plan, the Baby- lonian palaces and temples resembled those of Assyria. We know that the arts, the rehgion, the customs, and the laws of the two kindred people were nearly identical.
