Yesterday afternoon in the Fogg Art Museum Professor Lyon read some most interesting letters translated from the Assyrian. They were written by the Kings of Babylon, Assyria, Egypt and other countries, and date at least from 1500 B. C., While others are of even more ancient times. Egyptian scholars recognize some of these tablets as despatches written by the Pharoahs. They cast a remarkable light on both the social and political conditions of the great nations which existed long before Moses was born.
The lecture was illustrated by sterecpticon views taken from the original stone tablets which are now preserved in the London, Berlin and Egyptian museums.
