1 Menant, "Babylone, " pp. 127, 128.
CHAPTER II.
THE RELIGION AND SCIENCE OF THE CHALDEANS.
IN the period from 2000 to 1000 B. C. , Babylonia under Hammurabi, Nebuchadnezzar, and Marduknadinakh, was already the foremost state of Hither Asia in power, science, and skill in art. Her civilisation... had developed without external assistance. If the first foundations were borrowed, and not laid by the Babylonians, they certainly were not due to the Egyptians. The reli- gious views of the Babylonians and the Egyptians rest on an entirely different basis. In Egypt the heavens were carefully observed ; but the Chaldseans arrived at a different division of the heavens, of the year, and month, and day, and the results of their astronomy were far clearer and more exact. In Egypt, weights and measures were regulated by the priests ; the Chaldaeans established a much more accurate and con- sistent system, which prevailed far beyond the borders of Babylonia.
