What reading level is Persia the Land of the Magi Or the Home of the Wise Men An Historical And D book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We see here, as in Egypt, blocks of stone forty and fifty feet long, and of enormous weight, placed one above another with a precision which renders the points of union almost invisible; columns sixty feet high, con- sisting of huge pieces admirably formed, and jointed 124 Persia, the Land of the Magi with invariable accuracy; and a detail of sculpture, which, if it cannot boast the exact anatomical propor- tions and flowing outline of the Greek models, displays at least chiseling as delicate a...s any work of art on the banks of the Nile.
The numerous inscriptions in letters or symbols which have hitherto baffled the research of the learned, need* not detain us long. They are all in what is called, from their shape, the cuneiform or arrow- headed character, and many of them, especially those on the north wall of the terrace and on one of the tombs at Naksh e Roostum, are of great length. Chardin, Le Brun, and Niebuhr, have given speci- mens of those inscriptions; and the last of these authors has with great labor copied three of them.
