are connected 10 each otheιIhe system is called an inlerconnecled nelwork or
inlernel (with a lowercase "i"). Th e Inlernel (阳 th an uppe厅case "1") is a specific
inlerconnected network that connects computers all over the world using a common

Th e pa 叫 of the Internet known as the World Wide Web (or the web) is a colleclion

The web contains millions of files made publicly available by their rights holders or
owners. Anyone who has a computer connected to Ihe Internet can obtain access to
Ihese files.
when you use an Internet connection 10 log on to Ihe web, your computer becomes
a web client. A web browser is the software that allows your com 阳 ler 10 connecl

Working with Hypertext Markup Language and Hyperlinks


The public files on web servers are ordinary text files , much like the files created and
used by word-processing software 币o enable web bro 咽er software to read these fi!es ,
the lexl musl be formatted according to a generally accepled standard. The slandard
used on the web is Hypcrtex t M arkup language (HTMl). HTMl uses codes, or tags,
that tell the web browser software how to display the texl conlained in the texl fil e
For example, a web bro 、Iser can read the following line of co出
<b>A Rev 卫 ew of the 800k <孟 >Wind Instruments</i></b>
In this examp!e, the code recognizes the <b> and <Ib> tags as instructÎons to display
the entire line of texl in bold and the <i> and <l i> tags as inst阳 C l ions to display the text
enclosed by those tags in italic. A text file that contains HTMl tags is called an HTMl
documenl
HTMl provides a variety of text formatting tags that can be used to indicate
headings, paragraphs , bulleted lists, numbered lists, and other text enhancements in an
HTMl document. (You willlearn more about HTMl tags in Module 8.) The real power
of HTMllies in its anchor tag. Th e HTM l anchor tag enables web designers to link
HTMl documents to each other. Anchor tags in HTMl documents create hypertext
links, which are in5tructions that point 10 other HTMl documents 町 to another section
of the same document. Hypertext links are also called hyperlinks or links. An example
of the use of an anchor tag to create a link is illUSlrated by the following line of code
<a href:..http://www.cengage.com .. >Cengage Learn 且 ng</a>

When the code is placed in an HTMl documenl , Ihe browser displays the words
"Cengage learning." When the phrase is pointed at with the curso飞 the cursor changes
10 a hand shape, and when the phrase is clicked, the browser displays the URl: .bl!.u;Ll
旦旦旦&豆豆=且皿 Normally, links such as this one would appear underlined and in
blue font; dick on them and the color changes to indicate previous use. It is the code
autho 内 job 10 enter instructions for indicating how a link interacts 、圳 th the user. You
willlearn more about writing code in Modu!e 8
YOU can share linked HTMl documents on any computer anywhere in the world
a5 long as there is an Internet connection. When a web browser displays an HTMl
document, it is often referred to as a webpage

Starting a Browser
Thi s introduction assumes you have al least one of the following browsers installed
on your computer: Google Chrome , Mozilla Firefox , or Microsoft Ed ge 、 ou can
download and install Ch rome and firefox free from the Internet. Mîcrosoft Edge comes
installed 、圳 th 叭lindows 10 and replaces Internet Explorer (l E) as Microsoft's entry in
the browser market. Ifyou have all three browsers insta ll ed on your computer, you can
try all of the features discussed in this module. However, even if you have only one of
Ihe5e browsers available, you should still read about and study alt of the browsers, and
as you read the module, rnake frequent reference to the Visua ! Over川 ews. Typically,
your desktop wi!1 have a browser shortCUI icon , which you can double-click 10 launch
the browser.
when your browser opens, γou might noti ce simi larities and di fferences between
it and other browsers you have used in the past. Different browsers have their own
version of the address bar for o pening webpages , the back and forward buttons
for navigalîng among prevωus l y visited pages, the tabs for open webpages , and
the browser menu button. Users can customize Iheir browser features 10 suit their
persona I needs

configurations that a user could set up. However, you might choose to customize your

browsers differently. Throughout this module you are encouraged to refer frequently to
the Visual Overview to review the basic concepts illustrated for each browser. We will
learn about the specifics for customizing Chrome, Edge, and Firefox in Ses剑。 n 1. 2

Navigating Webpages
币。 identifya particular 叭 ebpage's exact location on the Internet, web browsers rely
on an address called a Uniform Resource loca l阳 r or URl , which is the ad < Iress of a
specific webpage. Every webpage has a unique URl, simi lar to the mai !ing address for
a home or busine如 A URL is a four-part addressing schcme that ∞ mmunîcates the
following information to Ihe 叭 eb br例 SCI
• the protocol to use when transporting the file
• the domain name of the computer on which the 白 le resides
• the path for the folder or directory on the computer in which the file resides
• the name of the file
For example, in the URl htlm 叭 VW.lOCÆ刷 'rrlr.lrehooklrli[!itillmJ lJrli[! ita Imll-aurlubon.html
the Nhllp://" is the transfer protocol , which is the set of rules used 10 move files
between compute附 Th e two mosl common protocols used to transfer fil田 on the
Internet are H yper怡 xl Transfer Prolocol (HTTP) and File Transfer Prot旺 01 ( FT问
The second part of the URl, the domain name, is the "w 伽 4λ loc. gov" in the above
e 陆 mple; this references the location of the compu!er on which the webpage resides
The "www"indicales a connection 阳 Ihe web. Th e Nloc" represents the name of the
川 ebsite (Ubrary of Congress), and ".gov" identifies the website as a Uni 怆dS让ates
government site. The "/rr/rareb ο ok/digiralcoflr po 川 ion of the URl provide骂 the path
for the folder in which the webpage file is located, and the last po叫 on of the URl ,
"digitalcoll-audubo n. html," is the 白 lename

Entering a URl in the Address Bar


You can use the Address bar 10 enter a specific URl and go directly to Ihat webpage
For example, you can enter the compl配 U R l for a website, such as 且皿也出皿且乓L
to load that 驯 ebpage in the browser. YOU might notice that as you begin to type, a list
opens, displaying pages you have previously visited that begin with the letters you are
typin g; you can select a URl and pr白 s the Enter key to r,刨 urn 10 Ihat webpagβ B m、听 ecs
will try to complete partial URLs that you type in the Address bar. For example, if you
type npr.org, your browser \J圳 11 convert it 10 http://\叭叭.v.n 咒 org and load Ihe webpage at
that URl
Ifyoudon创 sec the URl you want in the Address bar list, you can enter a part 凶
U 民 l or a search wo 时; this will open the search engine. A search engine performs a
search based on the text you type in a search box- i n this case, the Address bar- and

most commonly given t。如白 a webpage is index.htm l. The html file extension tells
the browser that this is an HTML~coded text file. The browser should interpret th 臼 type

The second defini创。 n of a homeρage is the page that opens when you start your

Internet I Module 1 Browser Basics

Navigating Visited Webpages


The 8ack and Forward buttons on Ihe Navigation bar allow you to navigate among
the pages you have just visited. When you fjrst start a bro 崎 er session , these buttons
are grayed out or otherwise unavailab le. After visiting mo 矿 e than one webpage in a
browsing 5自sion , the 8ack bullon changes , indicating that it is active and available
Clicking the Back bullon returns the browser to the p reviou匹 webpage. You can
continue c1 icking the Back button until you reach the first page you viewed when
you started the browsi ng session. Once you c1 ick the Back bullOn , the Forward
butlon activates , and you can c1 ick the Forward butlon to return to pages you
have visited
As you move among your visited pages , you might want to reload or re fresh a
webpage. The ReJoad/Refresh bullon Joads a new copy of the webpage that currently
appears in the browser window. Browsers store a copy of every webpage they
displ ay on your computer's hard drive. Storing this information increases the speed
at which they can disp lay pages as you navigate back and forth through visited sites
because the bro、四 er can load the pages from a local disk drive instead of reloading
them from the remote web server. When you c1 ick the Reload/Refresh button , your
browser contacts the web server 10 see if the webpage has changed since it was
stored locally. If it has changed , your browser gets the new page from the web
server; othenγise, it loads the copy stored on your compUler. Use the Back , Forward ,
and Reload/Refresh bullons to navigate among the webpages you visited on the
U5CO webs i\ e

To navigate among visited pages on the United States Copyright

Using the Page Tabs


50 far, you have used the same tab for all of the webpagesγou have visited. You
can open additional page tabs on the tab row nextto the Address bar and Joad
different webpages on each tab instead o( opening additional webpages in separate

are unsure about the rights attached to material , the safest course of action is to assume
that 比 does have a copyright and that you need to obtain permission to reuse it

U.S. copyright law has a faÎr use provÎsion Ihat allows a limited amount of
copyrighted information to be used for purposes 5uch a5 news reporting , research ,

Fig. 16.—Plan of the south-western palace at Nimroud; from Layard.
As to the buildings on the other sides of the court and the total
extent of the palace, we know very little; towards the west the walls
of several saloons have been recognized, but they have been left
half cleared. On the east, landslips have carried away part of the
buildings.[46]
Between the palace of Assurnazirpal and that of Esarhaddon
Layard found what seemed to him the remains of the second story of
some building, or at least of a new building erected over one of
earlier date (Fig. 17). Impelled, no doubt, by the rarity of the
circumstance, he gives a plan of these remains, and goes so far as
to express his belief that the arrangements shown in the plan were
repeated on the three other faces of a tower of which he
encountered the summit, still partly preserved.[47]
Although Calah was never abandoned, it fell, after the accession
of the Sargonids, from the first place among Assyrian cities; on the
other hand Sargon’s attempt to fix the seat of government in his own
town of Dour-Saryoukin does not seem to have met with permanent
success. From the eighth century to the end of the seventh the
Assyrian kings appear to have made Nineveh their favourite place of
residence.
The site of this famous city has been much discussed,[48] but at
last the question appears to be settled. Nineveh was built on the left
bank of the Tigris, opposite to the site occupied by modern Mossoul.
Two great mounds rising some five-and-thirty feet above the level of
the plain, represent the substructures upon which the royal homes of
the last Assyrian dynasty were raised; they are now famous as
Kouyundjik and Nebbi-Younas. Like the mound of Khorsabad these
two artificial hills were in juxtaposition with the city walls, which may
still be traced in almost their whole extent by the ridge of earth
formed of their materials (Fig. 18).

Fig. 17.—Upper chambers excavated at


Nimroud; from Layard.
The mound of Nebbi-Younas has so far remained almost
unexplored. It is fortified against the curiosity of Europeans by the
little building on its summit and the cemetery covering most of its
surface. The inhabitants of the country, Mussulman as well as
Christian, believe that Jonah lies under the chapel dome, and they
themselves hope to rest as near his body as possible. Some slight
excavations, little more than a few strokes of the pick-axe, have
been made in the scanty spots where no graves occur, but enough
evidence has been found to justify us in assuming that Nebbi-
Younas also hides its palaces. They too will have their turn. Thanks
to the prestige of the prophet they are reserved for excavations to be
conducted perhaps in a more systematic fashion than those hitherto
undertaken on the site of Nineveh.

Fig. 18.—Map of the site of Nineveh; from Oppert.


Fig. 19.—Plan of the mound of Kouyundjik; from Rassam’s Transactions.
At Kouyundjik, on the other hand, no serious obstacle was
encountered. The village transported itself to the plain; it was not
necessary to persuade the inhabitants to quit it, as it had been at
Khorsabad. When Botta, who had begun certain inquisitions at this
spot, abandoned his attempts, the English explorers were left free to
sound the flanks of the artificial hill at their leisure, and to choose
their point of attack. If they had gone to work in the same fashion as
Botta and Place, they might have laid bare palaces excelling that of
Sargon in the scale and variety of their arrangements. Of this we
may judge from Mr. Rassam’s plan (Fig. 19). But after the departure
of Mr. Layard the excavations, frequently interrupted and then
recommenced after long intervals, aimed only at discovering such
objects as might figure in a museum. A trench was opened here and
another there, on the inspiration of the moment. The explorers often
neglected to measure the buildings in which they were at work, so
that we have only partial plans of the two principal buildings of
Nineveh, those palaces of Sennacherib and Assurbanipal from which
so many beautiful monuments have been taken to enrich the British
Museum.

Fig. 20.—Part plan of the palace of Sennacherib; from Layard.


The mound of Kouyundjik in its present state is an irregular
pentagon. Its circumference is rather more than a mile and a half.
The palace of Sennacherib occupies the south-western corner, and
forms a rectangle about 600 feet long by 330 wide. The two chief
entrances were turned one towards the river, or south-west, the
other towards the town, or north-east. The latter entrance was
flanked by ten winged bulls. The four central ones stood out beyond
the line of the façade, and were separated from each other by
colossal genii.[49] About sixteen halls and chambers have been
counted round the three courtyards. As at Khorsabad, some of these
are long galleries, others rooms almost square. The fragmentary
plan shown in our Fig. 20 brings out the resemblance very strongly. It
represents a part of the building explored in Layard’s first campaign.
In the rooms marked 2, 3, and 4, small niches cut in the thickness of
the walls may be noticed. They are not unlike the spaces left for
cupboards in the modern Turkish houses of Asia Minor. The hall
marked 1 in the plan is about 124 feet long and 30 wide. In another
part of the palace a saloon larger than any of those at Khorsabad
has been cleared. It measures 176 feet long by 40 wide. The
average size of the rooms here is about one-third more than in the
palace of Sargon, suggesting that the art of building vaults and
timber ceilings made sensible progress during the reign of that king.
As in the case of the Khorsabad palace, the explorers believed they
could distinguish between the seraglio and the harem; but the plan
given by Layard has too many blanks and leaves too many points
uncertain for the various quarters to be distinguished with such ease
and certainty as at Khorsabad.[50] The walls were everywhere
covered with rich series of reliefs, from which we have already taken
some of our illustrations (Vol. I., Figs. 151 and 152), and shall have
to take more. The military promenade figured upon page 49 will give
a good idea of their general character (Fig. 21).
Assurbanipal, the grandson of Sennacherib, built his palace
towards the north of the mound. The excavations of Mr. Rassam
have been the means of recovering many precious bas-reliefs from
it, but we may see from the plan (Fig. 19) that a very small part of the
building has been cleared. Much more must remain of a palace so
richly decorated and with rooms so large as some of those explored
in the quarter we have called the sélamlik. One of these saloons is
145 feet long and 29 wide. The plan of its walls suggests a very
large building, with spacious courts and a great number of rooms.[51]

In many other mounds of Assyria, such as those of Arvil,[52] of


Balawat,[53] of Kaleh-Shergat,[54] of Karamles,[55] and in the valley
of the Khabour,[56] the explorers have encountered the remains of
buildings and of ornamental figures that must have formed parts of
royal palaces, or at least of the dwellings of great nobles. We shall
not stop to notice all these discoveries. None of the mounds in
question have been explored with sufficient care and completeness
to add anything of importance to what we have learnt by our study of
Khorsabad. The chief thing to be gathered from these widely
scattered excavations is that during the great years of Assyria there
was no town of any importance in which the king did not possess a
habitation, arranged and decorated in the same spirit as the great
palaces at Calah and Nineveh, and differing from these chiefly in the
size of their courts and chambers.
No doubt the pavilions sprinkled about the park, or paradise, as
the Greek writers called it, in which the king sought amusement by
exercising his skill as an archer upon the beasts that roamed among
its trees, were ornamented in the same fashion, although in all
probability, wood and metal played a more important part in their
construction. As for the dwellings of the great officers of the crown
and of vassal princes, they must have reproduced on a smaller scale
the plan and ornamentation of the royal palace.
Of the house properly speaking, the dwelling of the artizan or
peasant, whether in Assyria or Chaldæa, we know very little. We are
unable to turn for its restoration to paintings such as those in the
Egyptian tombs, which portray the life of the poor with the same
detail as that of the rich or even of the monarch himself. The
Assyrian bas-reliefs, in which the sieges of towns are often
represented, always show them from the outside (Fig. 22), nothing is
to be seen but the ramparts and the towers that flank them. The only
bas-relief in which we can venture to recognize one of the ordinary
houses of the country belongs to the series of pictures in which
Sennacherib has caused the transport of the materials and colossal
bulls for his own palace to be figured. We there see two very
different types of edifice, one covered with hemispherical or elliptical
domes, the other with flat roofs supporting a kind of belvedere[57]
(Vol. I., Fig. 43).
This latter type may be found several times repeated in a relief
representing a city of Susiana (Vol. I., Fig. 157). Here nearly every
house has a tower at one end of its flat roof. Was this a defence, like
the towers in the old Italian towns and in the Greek villages of Crete
and Magnesia? We do not think so. The social conditions were very
different from those of the turbulent republics of Italy, where the
populace was divided into hostile factions, or of those mountainous
districts whose Greek inhabitants live in constant fear of attack from
the Turks who dwell in the plains. The all-powerful despots of Assyria
would allow no intestine quarrels, and for the repulse of a foreign
enemy, the cities relied upon their high and solid lines of
circumvallation. We think that the towers upon the roofs were true
belvederes, contrivances to get more air and a wider view; also,
perhaps, to allow the inhabitants to escape the mosquitoes by rising
well above the highest level reached by the flight of those tiny pests.
It was, then, between these two types, as Strabo tells us, that the
civil buildings of Mesopotamia were divided. They all had thick
terraced roofs but some were domical and others flat.[58] At Mugheir
Mr. Taylor cleared the remains of a small house planned on the lines
of an irregular cross; it was built of burnt brick and paved with the
same material. In the interior the faces of the bricks were covered
with a thin and not very adhesive glaze. Two of the doors were
round-headed; the arches being composed of bricks specially
moulded in the shape of voussoirs; but the numerous fragments of
carbonized palm-wood beams which were found upon the floors of
each room, showed that the building had been covered with a flat
timber roof and a thick bed of earth. Strabo justly observes that the
earth was necessary to protect the inmates of the house against the
heats of summer. As a rule houses must have been very low. It was
only in large towns such as Babylon, that they had three or four
stories.[59]

We need say no more. We have studied the palace in detail, and


the palace was only an enlarged, a more richly illustrated edition of
the house. It supplied the same wants, but on a wider scale than was
necessary in the dwelling of a private individual. To complete our
study of civil architecture it is only necessary to give some idea of
the fashion in which palaces and houses were grouped into cities,
and of the means chosen for securing those cities against hostile
assault.

§ 4. Towns and their Defences.

Of all barbarian cities, as the Greeks would say, Babylon has


been the most famous, both in the ancient and the modern world;
her name has stirred the imaginations of mankind more strongly than
any other city of Asia. For the Greeks she was the Asiatic city par
excellence, the eternal capital of those great oriental empires that
were admired and feared by the Hellenic population even after their
political weakness had been proved more than once. In the centuries
that have passed since the fall of the Greek civilization the name and
fame of Babylon have been kept alive by the passionate words of
those Hebrew prophets who filled some of the most eloquent and
poetic books of the Old Testament with their hatred of the
Mesopotamian city, an ardent hate that has found an echo across
the ages in the religion which is the heir of Judaism.

There is, then, no city of the ancient world in which both our
Christian instincts and our classic education would lead us to take a
deeper interest, or to make more patient endeavours towards the
recovery of some knowledge of its passed magnificence by the
interrogation of its site and ruins, than this town of Babylon. At the
same time it happens, by a strange series of chances, that of all the
great cities of the past Babylon is the least known and the most
closely wrapped in mystery. The descriptive passages of ancient
writers are full of gaps and exaggerations, while as for the
monuments themselves, although the size of their remains and the
vast extent of ground they cover allow us to guess at the power and
energy of the people to whom they owed their existence, there are
no ruins in the world from which so little of the real thoughts and
ideas of their constructors is to be learnt. Not only has the
ornamentation of palace and temple disappeared, the ruling lines
and arrangements of their plans are no longer to be traced. It is this
no doubt that has discouraged the explorers. While the sites of
Calah, Nineveh, and Dour-Saryoukin have been freed of millions of
cubic yards of earth, and their concealed buildings explored and laid
bare in every direction, no serious excavations have ever been made
at Babylon. At long intervals of time a few shafts have been sunk in
the flanks of the Kasr, of Babil and the Birs-Nimroud, but they have
never been pushed to any great depth; a few trenches have been
run from them, but on no connected system, and only to be soon
abandoned. The plain is broken by many virgin mounds into which
no pick-axe has been driven, and yet they each represent a structure
dating from some period of Babylonian greatness. It would be a
noble undertaking to thoroughly explore the three or four great ruins
that rise on the site itself, and to examine carefully all the region
about them. Such an exploration would require no slight expenditure
of time and money, but it could not fail to add considerably to our
present knowledge of ancient Chaldæa; it would do honour to any
government that should support it, and still more to the archæologist
who should conduct the inquiry to completion, laying down on his
plan the smallest vestige remaining of any ancient detail, and
allowing himself to be discouraged by none of the numerous
disappointments and deceptions that he would be sure to encounter.
Meanwhile it would be profitless to carry our readers into any
discussion upon the topography of Babylon. In the absence of
ascertained facts nothing could be more arbitrary and conjectural
than the various theories that have been put forward as to the
direction of the city walls and their extent. According to George
Smith the only line of wall that can now be followed would give a
town about eight English miles round. Now Diodorus says that what
he calls the Royal City was sixty stades, or within a few yards of
seven miles, in circumference.[60] The difference between the two
figures is very slight. “In shape the city appears to have been a
square with one corner cut off, and the corners of the walls of the city
may be said roughly to front the cardinal points. At the north of the
city stood the temple of Belus, now represented by the mound of
Babil; about the middle of the temple stood the royal palace and
hanging-gardens.”[61]
The Royal City was the city properly speaking, the old city whose
buildings were set closely about the great temple and the palace, the
latter forming, like the Old Seraglio at Constantinople, a fortified town
in itself with a wall some twenty stades (4043 yards) in
circumference. A second wall, measuring forty stades in total length,
turned the palace and the part of the city in its immediate
neighbourhood into a sort of acropolis. Perhaps the nobles and
priests may have inhabited this part of the town, the common people
being relegated to the third circle. In the towns of Asia Minor at the
present day the Turks alone live in the fortified inclosures, which are
called kaleh, or citadels, the rest of the town being occupied by the
rayahs of every kind, whether Greek or Armenian.
There is, then, nothing in the description of Diodorus at which we
need feel surprise. Our difficulty begins when we have to form a
judgment upon the assertion of Herodotus, who speaks of an
inclosure 120 stades (13 miles 1385 yards) square.[62] According to
this the circumference of Babylon must have been nearly 55¼
English miles, which would make it considerably larger than what is
called Greater London, and more than three times the size of Paris.
Here, strangely enough, Ctesias gives a more moderate figure than
Herodotus, as we find Diodorus estimating the circumference of the
great enceinte at 360 stades (41 miles 600 yards).[63]
We can hardly read of such measurements without some
astonishment. It seems difficult, however, to doubt the formal
statement of such a careful eye-witness as Herodotus. Although the
Greek historian was quite ready to repeat the fantastic tales he
heard in the distant countries to which his travels led him—a habit
we are far from wishing to blame—modern criticism has never
succeeded in convicting him of falsehood or exasperation in matters
of which he could judge with his own eyes. Our surprise at his
figures is diminished when we remember with what prodigious
rapidity buildings of sun-dried bricks could be erected. The material
was at hand in any possible quantity; the erection of such a length of
wall was only a question of hands. Now if we suppose, with M.
Oppert, that the work was undertaken by Nebuchadnezzar after the
fall of Nineveh, that prince may very well have employed whole
nations upon it, driving them into the workshops as the captive Jews
were driven. In such a fashion the great wall that united into one city
towns which had been previously separated—such as the original
Babylon, Cutha, and Borsippa—might have been raised without any
great difficulty. It is certain that the population of such a vast extent
of country cannot have been equally dense at all points. A large part
must have been occupied by royal parks, by gardens, vineyards, and
even cultivated fields. Babylon must, in fact, have been rather a vast
intrenched camp than a city in the true sense of the word.
At the time when Herodotus and Ctesias visited Babylon, this wall
—which was dismantled by the Persians in order to render revolt
more difficult—must have been almost everywhere in a state of ruin,
but enough of it remained to attract curious travellers, just as the
picturesque fortifications of the Greek emperors are one of the sights
of modern Constantinople. The more intelligent among them, such
as Herodotus, took note of the measurements given to them as
representing the original state of the great work whose ruins lay
before their eyes and confirmed the statements of their guides.[64]
The quarter then still inhabited was the Royal City, the true Babylon,
whose great public works have left such formidable traces even to
the present day. Naturally no vestige of the tunnel under the
Euphrates has been found; we may even be tempted to doubt that it
ever existed.[65] But we cannot doubt that the two sections of the
town were put in communication one with another by a stone bridge;
the evidence on that point is too clear to admit of question.[66] The
descriptions of the structure give us a high idea of the engineering
skill of the Chaldæans. To build such a bridge and insure its stability
was no small undertaking. The river at this point is about 600 feet
wide, and from twelve to sixteen deep at its deepest part.[67] We
need hardly say that for many centuries there has been no bridge
over the Euphrates either in the neighbourhood of Babylon or at any
other point in Mesopotamia. As for the quays, Fresnel found some
parts in very good preservation in 1853.[68] At the point where this
discovery was made the quay was built of very hard and very red
bricks, completely covered with bitumen so as to resist the action of
the water for as long as possible. The bricks bore the name of
Nabounid, who must have continued the work begun by
Nebuchadnezzar.
The description given by Herodotus of the way in which Babylon
was built and the circulation of its inhabitants provided for must also
be taken as applying to the Royal City. “The houses are mostly three
and four stories high; the streets all run in straight lines, not only
those parallel to the river, but also the cross-streets which lead to the
waterside. At the river end of these cross-streets are low gates in the
fence that skirts the stream, which are, like the great gates in the
outer wall, of brass and open on the water.”[69]
We may perhaps form some idea of Babylon from the
appearance of certain parts of Cairo. Herodotus seems to have been
struck by the regularity of the plan, the length of the streets, and the
height of the houses. In these particulars it was very different from
the low and irregularly built Greek cities of the fifth century b.c. The
height of the houses is to be explained partly by the necessity for
accommodating a very dense population, partly by the desire for as
much shade as possible.[70]
The decadence of Babylon had begun when Herodotus visited it
towards the middle of the fifth century before our era;[71] but the
town was still standing, and some of the colossal works of its later
kings were still intact. The last dynasty had come to an end less than
a century before. We are ready, therefore, to believe the simple and
straightforward description he has left us, even in those particulars
which are so well calculated to cause surprise. The evidence of
Ctesias, who saw Babylon some half century later, seems here and
there to be tainted with exaggeration, but on the whole it agrees with
that of Herodotus. Supposing that he does expand his figures a little,
Ctesias is yet describing buildings whose ruins, at least, he saw with
his own eyes, and sometimes his statements are borne out by those
of Alexander’s historians.[72]
The case of Nineveh is very different. Of that city Herodotus
hardly knew more than the name; he contents himself with mere
passing allusions to it.[73] Ctesias is trammelled by fewer scruples.
When he wrote his history Nineveh had ceased to exist for more
than two centuries; the statements of Xenophon[74] prove that at the
time of the famous retreat its site was practically deserted and its
name almost forgotten in the very district in which its ruins stood. But
the undaunted Ctesias gives us a description of the Assyrian capital
as circumstantial as if he had lived there in the days of Sennacherib
or Assurbanipal. According to his account it formed an elongated
rectangle, the long sides being 150 stades (17 miles 380 yards), and
the shorter 90 stades (10 miles 595 yards), in length, so that the total
circumference was 480 stades (55 miles 240 yards).[75] The whole of
this space was inclosed by a wall 100 Greek feet (103 feet English)
high, and with towers of twice that height.
It is hardly necessary to show that all this is pure invention. To
find room for such a Nineveh we should have to take all the space
between the ruins opposite Mossoul and those of Nimroud. But all
the Assyrian texts that refer to Nineveh and Calah speak of them as
two distinct cities, each with an independent life and period of
supremacy of its own, while between the two sites there are no
traces of a great urban population. The 1,500 towers on the walls
were the offspring of the same brain that imagined the tower of
Ninus nine stades (5458 feet) high. We can scent an arbitrary
assertion in the proportion of two to one given to the heights of the
towers over that of the wall. In the fortified walls of the bas-reliefs the
curtain is never greatly excelled in height by its flanking towers (see
Vol. I. Figs. 51, 60, 76, and 158, and above, Fig. 23).

Ctesias has simply provided in his Nineveh a good pendant to
Babylon. Being quite free to exercise his imagination, he has laid
down even a greater circumference than that of the city on the
Euphrates. The superiority thus ascribed to the northern city is
enough by itself to arouse our suspicions. We cannot point to any
particular text, but contemporary history as a whole suggests that
Babylon was more populous than Nineveh, just as Bagdad is now
more populous than Mossoul. Nineveh, and Calah before it, were the
capitals of a soldier nation, they were cities born, like Dour-
Saryoukin, of the will of man. Political events called them into life,
and other political events caused them to vanish off the face of the
earth. Babylon, on the other hand, was born of natural conditions;
she was one of the eternal cities of the world. The Turks do their best
to make Hither Asia a desert, but so long as they do not entirely
succeed, so long as some light of culture and commerce still flickers
in the country, it will burn in that part of Mesopotamia which is now
called El-Jezireh (the island), where the two streams are close
together, and canals cut from one to the other can bring all the
intermediate tract into cultivation.
Sennacherib speaks thus of his capital: “Nineveh, the supreme
city, the city beloved of Istar, in which the temples of the gods and
goddesses are to be found.”[76] With its kings and their military
guards and courts, with the priests that served the sanctuaries of the
gods, with the countless workmen who built the great buildings,
Nineveh must have been a fine and flourishing city in the days of the
Sargonids; but even then its population cannot have equalled that of
Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar. The latter was something more
than a seat of royalty and a military post; it was the great entrepôt for
all the commerce of Western Asia.[77]
All the travellers who have visited the neighbourhood of Mossoul
are agreed that, on the left bank of the Tigris, there is no trace of any
wall but that which forms a rather irregular parallelogram and
embraces the two mounds of Nebbi-Yonnas and Kouyundjik (Fig.
18).[78] According to M. Oppert this wall was about ten thousand
metres (nearly 6¼ miles) in circumference, which would make it
cover about one-eleventh of the ground covered by modern Paris.
There is nothing here that is not in accord with our ideas as to the
character and importance of Nineveh. If we add to the town inclosed
within such a wall suburbs stretching along the right bank of the river
on the site of modern Mossoul, we shall have a city capable of
holding perhaps two or three hundred thousand people.
In the northern part of the inclosure, not far from the north-
western angle, Sir Henry Layard made some excavations that
brought one of the principal gates of ancient Nineveh to light.[79] The
passage was probably vaulted, but its upper part had disappeared.
The gateway, which was built by Sennacherib, had a pair of winged
bulls looking towards the city and another pair looking towards the
country outside. The limestone pavement in the entrance still bears
the mark of wheels. Two great chambers are hollowed out of the
thickness of the walls and open into the entrance passage. The walls
must be here about 116 feet thick, judging from the proportion, in
Layard’s plan,[80] between them and one of the two chambers, which
has a diameter, as we are told by its finder, of 23 feet. We need say
no more of this doorway. The town attached to the palace of
Khorsabad will give us a better opportunity for the study of a city
gate.
The “town of Sargon,” Dour-Saryoukin or Hisr-Sargon, according
as we follow one or the other method of transcribing the Assyrian
name, was far smaller than Babylon, was smaller even than
Nineveh. It formed a parallelogram two sides of which were about
1,950 yards, the other two about 1,870 yards long, which would give
a surface of considerably more than a square mile. This city is
interesting not for the part it played in history, for of that we know
nothing, and it is quite possible that after the death of Sargon it may
have been practically abandoned, but because, of all the cities of
Assyria, it is that whose line of circumvallation has been best
preserved and most carefully studied (Vol. I. Fig. 144).
Like all inhabited places of any importance Dour-Saryoukin was
carefully fortified. Over the whole of Mesopotamia the words town
and fortress seem to have been almost convertible terms. The
nature of the soil does not lend itself to any such distinctions as
those of upper and lower city, as it does in Italy and Greece; there
was no acropolis, to which the inhabitants could fly when the outer
defences were broken down. In case of great need the royal palace
with its massive gates and cincture of commanding towers might be
looked upon as a citadel; while in Babylon and some other towns
several concentric lines of fortification made an attack more arduous
and prolonged the defence. But, nevertheless, the chief care of the
Mesopotamian engineers was given to the strengthening of the
external wall, the enceinte, properly speaking.
At Khorsabad this stood on a plinth three feet eight inches high,
above which began the sun-dried brick. The whole is even now
nowhere less than forty-five feet high, while in parts it reaches a
height of sixty feet. If we remember how greatly walls built of the
materials here used must have suffered from the weather, we shall
no longer be astonished at the height ascribed by Herodotus to the
walls of Babylon: “These were, he says, 200 royal cubits (348 feet)
high.”[81] This height was measured, no doubt, from the summit of
the tallest towers into the deepest part of the ditch, which he adds,
“was wide and deep.” It is possible that the interpreters who did the
honours of Babylon to the Greek historian exaggerated the figures a
little, just as those of Memphis added something to the height of the
pyramids. That the exaggeration was not very great is suggested by
what he says as to the thickness of the wall; he puts it at fifty royal
cubits, or eighty-six feet six inches. Now those of Khorsabad are only
between six and seven feet thinner than this, and it is certain that the
walls of Babylon, admired by all antiquity as the masterpieces of the
Chaldæan engineers, must have surpassed those of the city
improvised by Sargon both in height and thickness.
Far from abusing our credulity, Herodotus is within the mark
when he says that on the summit of the wall “enough room was left
between the towers to turn a four-horse chariot.”[82] As for Ctesias,
he speaks of a width “greater than what is necessary to allow two
chariots to pass each other.”[83] Such thicknesses were so far
beyond the ideas of Greek builders that their historians seem to have
been afraid that if they told the truth they would not be believed, so
they attenuated rather than exaggerated the real dimensions. If we
give a chariot a clear space of ten feet, which is liberal indeed, it will
be seen that not two, but six or seven, could proceed abreast on
such walls.
The nature of the materials did not allow walls to be thin, and in
making them very thick there were several great advantages. The
Assyrians understood the use of the battering-ram. We see it
employed in several of the bas-reliefs for opening a breach in the
ramparts of a beleaguered town (Vol. I. Fig. 60 and above, Fig. 23).
They also dug mines, as soon as they had pierced the revetment of
stone or burnt brick.[84] To prevent or to neutralize the employment
of such methods of attack they found no contrivance more effectual
than giving enormous solidity to their walls. Against such masses the
battering-ram would be almost powerless, and mines would take so
much time that they would not be very much better. Finally, the
platform at the summit of a wall built on such principles would afford
room for a number of defenders that would amount to a large army.
Throughout the circumference of the enceinte the curtain was
strengthened by rectangular flanking towers having a front of forty-
