Its hierophants were veiled in shadow ; its origin was indicated by dim traditions, trans- mitted by writers acquiescent and uncritical, if not un- candid.
M. Berthelot, in the work quoted at the head of this arti- OLD AND NEW ALCHEMY 247 cle, has done what was possible to elucidate the obscurity.

The walls of Ecbatana, as described by Herodotus,^ illustrate the connection. They were seven- fold, and vario-tinted, the five outer circuits being embel- lished with the colors distinctive of the several planets, while the inner ramparts glittered in gold and silver to represent the sun and moon.
