6. And altars for offering sacrifice. 1 Kings iii, 4, Numbers xxii. 36, to end.

TOWER OF BABEL. 105 Last amon^ the Pyramids that I will notice here, though the first in date, is the celebrated tower of Babel, or, as it was afterwards called, the temple of Belus. This temple was square, measuring at its ba...se 660 feet on each side ; and consisted of eight successive layers or towers, formed of huge unburnt bricks, each layer 75 feet high, and each smaller than the next below. It was thus altogether 600 in height, and had on the summit a chapel for the golden sta- tue of their god. According to Diodorus Siculus, the gold of this statue, and the decorations of the temple, were equal in value to ten millions of dollars ; while the worth of the utensils employed, and the treasure deposited here, amounted to an equal sum.
