Sinossi
Excerpt from Outline of the History of Assyria: As Collected From the Inscriptions Discovered by Austin Henry Layard, Esq. In the Ruins of Nineveh
As Warka, moreover, was a holy city, and as it exhibits at present the appearance of a vast Necropolis, there probably are to be sought the ruins of the tombs of the old Assyrian kings, which were an object of curiosity to Alexander, and which are laid down in that exact locality in the old monkish map usually called the Peutingerian tables.
