What reading level is The Fundamental Principles of Old And New World Civilizations a Comparative Res book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Suggested the identification of this planet with Ishtar. " The foregoing affords an explanation why Ishtar should have become identified with the west and also naturally suggests the probability that the cult of Ishtar gradually imposed upon its priestesses and its votaries of the female sex, the ceremonial observance of periods of retire ment and seclusion, coinciding with the disappearance of the moon and evening star.
A critical examination of the accounts preserved of the Phoe nician or Can...aauite religion reveals that it consisted of an ideal istic development of the Ishtar cult of Assyria. The fact that, ultimately, in Phoenicia, the cult of the female Astarte almost su perseded that of the male Baal and that their joint cult, introduced into Palestine, seriously rivalled the monotheism of the Israelites, furnishes another indication that we have to deal here with the same marked divergence of cults w r hich we have seen to result from a common basis in ancient America. In studying the Phoe nician conception of Astarte as recorded by various authors, one is struck by its comparative refinement and ideality although, as in ancient America, the cult of the female principle of nature was also accompanied by secret licentious ceremonials.
