What reading level is Diary of a Pedestrian in Cashmere And Thibet book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The figures in all the temples are almost always in an erect position, and I have never been able to discover any inscription in those now re- maining.
I had been struck with the great general resemblance which the temple bore to the recorded disposition of the Ark and its surrounding curtains, in imitation of which the Temple at Jerusalem was built ; and it became for a moment a question whether the Kashmirian temples had not been built by Jewish architects, who had recom- mended them to be co...nstructed on the same plan for the sake of convenience merely. It is, however, a curious fact, that in Abyssinia, the ancient Ethiopia, which was also called " Rush, " the ancient Christian churches are not unlike those of Kashmir, and that they were originally built in imitation of the temple, by the Israelites who followed the Queen of Sheba, whose son took possession of the throne of Kush, where his descendants are at this moment Kings of Abyssinia.
Without being able to boast, either in extent or mag- nificence, of an approach to equality with the temple of the sun at Palmyra, or the ruins of the palace at Perse- polis, Marttand is not without pretensions to a locality of THE TEMPLES OF CASHMERE.
