What reading level is The Brooches of Many Nations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
10. {pp. 4 and 9.) Gold Earring.
Kouyunjik. (British Museum.) The lotus flower is one of the most frequent of the decorative designs of Assyrian jewellery. It has been thought by some to have been derived from the Egyptian lotus, for the flower is only to be found in the more recent of Assyrian monuments, dating from the seventh and eighth centuries B.C., during which time the Assyrian kings invaded Phoenicia, and occupied Egypt, but also " in the paintings of the Theban tombs, dating from a mu...ch more remote period than the oldest Ninevite remains." (1) Indeed the commercial relations between Egypt and Assyria date from so remote an epoch, that it is not difficult to account for the adoption of the lotus design into Assyrian ornamentation, since it figured on most of the stuffs, jewels, furniture and pottery that found their way into Mesopotamia through Phoenician merchants.
The earliest dated Rosette known in Assyria or Chaldea is of the twelfth century b.c It figures on the dress of Merodach-idin-akhi, king of Babylon, 1100 b.c, and may be seen in the bracelets and neck- laces of I star.
