What reading level is Nippur Or Explorations And Adventures On the Euphrates volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The people of those countries, and even of other remoter regions, seem to have brought their dead to be buried in the cemeteries of southern Babylonia. The reason and meaning of this are apparent. Southern Babylonia was the home of the ancestors of the more northern people. When the first generations migrated northward they carried back their dead to be buried in the tombs of their fathers, just as the Hebrews carried the bodies of Jacob and Joseph back to Palestine. This custom grew into a rel...igious rite, until, in course of time, the cemeteries of southern Babylonia became sacred burying-places, ' not only for those who derived their ancestry thence, but for other peoples also. With slight changes, the custom once established passed on from race to race and religion to religion, until to-day we find the modern Mussulmans of Persia bringing their dead to be buried at Nejef, Ker- bela, and other less famous sites in Irak. The ancient and original sacred cemeteries were located, as will be ob- served, in the region which I have designated as the fatherland of Abraham.
