B.C. (625) Nabopolassar, the first ruler of the neo-Babylonian (Chaldean)
Dynasty, begins the restoration of Babylon in an effort to bring the city
to its former glory.
<<<< The Ishtar Gate, Verlag Philipp von Zabern >>
A.D. (Jan 24, 1898) The Deutsche Orient-Gesellschaft is established to
finance the Babylonian excavation and other scientific enterprises. An
excavation team was sent to Babylon in the same year.

SIR HENRY AUSTIN LAYARD'S FIRST IMPRESSION OF NORTHERN BET-NAHRAIN
The scene around is worthy of the ruin he is contemplating; desolation
meets desolation; a feeling of awe succeeds to wonder; for there is
nothing to relieve the mind, to lead to hope or to tell what has gone by.
These huge mounds of Assyria made a deeper impression on me, gave rise
to more serious thoughts and more earnest reflection, than the temples o
Balbec, and the theatres of Ionia.
<<<< Foundations in the Dust, Seton Lloyd >>

March 5, 1817: born, Sir Henry Austin Layard, British archeologist who
discovered the ruins of northern Bet-Nahrain.
