  The all important question now arises, Were the Egyptians descendants of black men, or were they descendants of white men? These same Sidonians are the men descended from black men whom Solomon ordered Hiram of Tyre to engage to do the skilled hewing and designing of the timber work on Solomon's temple--Solomon declaring that these Sidonians, black men were the only men possessed with anywhere near sufficient skill to take charge of and successfully complete the artistic timber work on His Solomon's temple.

  Landing at Tabasco, where Grijalva had found the natives friendly, Cortés found that the Yucatans had resolved to oppose him, and were presently assembled in great numbers. The king is served with great state, and his behavior is so decent that it is pleasant to see him.

  �� �On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a trumpet exceeding loud; and all the people that were in the camp trembled. �� When at last, towards evening, the army again rallies round the king, and finds the enemy completely defeated, the men hang their heads with mingled shame and admiration as the Pharaoh reproaches them: �What will the whole earth say when it is known that you left me alone, and without any to succour me?

  The study of simples and other _materiæ medicæ_ would furnish these; Thot had revealed himself to man as the first magician, he became in like manner for them the first physician and the first surgeon. Flesh taken from the living subject, the heart, the liver, the gall, the blood--either dried or liquid--of animals, the hair and horn of stags, were all customarily used in many cases where the motive determining their preference above other _materiæ medicæ_ is unknown to us.

summary:
  The meaning of �Nunima,� �Ilamma,� �Ilamtu,� in the group of words used to indicate Elam, had been recognised even by the earliest Assyriologists; the name originally referred to the hilly country on the north and east of Susa. The name seems, in fact, to be derived from a word which meant �to rob,� �to pillage.

  The Creator was described as �the whole circle of the heavens,� �the most steadfast among the gods,� for �he clothes himself with the solid vault of the firmament as his raiment,� �the most beautiful, the most intelligent, he whose members are most harmoniously proportioned; his body was the light and the sovereign glory, the sun and the moon were his eyes. � �Whereupon,� it is recorded, �they drew their swords and slew him.

  **** Belit is called by Tiglath-pileser I. �the great spouse beloved of Assur,� but Belit, �the lady,� is here merely an epithet used for Ishtar: the Assyrian Ishtar, Ishtar of Assur, Ishtar of Nineveh, or rather--especially from the time of the Sargonids--Ishtar of Arbeles, is almost always a fierce and warlike Ishtar, the �lady of combat, who directs battles,� �whose heart incites her to the combat and the struggle. He took vengeance upon the two peoples who had refused to give him bread, and having thus fulfilled his vow, he began to question his prisoners, the two chiefs: �What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor?� �As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.

summary:
  The existence of such a goddess may be deduced from the passage in which Dionysius of Halicarnassus states that Manes, first king of the Phrygians, was the son of Zeus and Demeter. He pursued the inhabitants into the narrow valleys and forests of the Khoatras, where his chariots were unable to follow: proceeding with his troops, sometimes on horseback, at other times on foot, he reduced Bît-kilamzak, Khardishpi, and Bît-kubatti to ashes, and annexed the territories of the Cossoans and the Yasubigallâ to the prefecture of Arrapkha.
