What reading level is The Seven Great Monarchies Vol 4 of 7 Babylon 8 4 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We could not assume from these data that the discovery was made;but if it shall ultimately be substantiated that bodies invisible to thenaked eye were observed by the Babylonians, we need feel no difficultyin ascribing to them the possession of some telescopic instrument.
The astronomical zeal of the Babylonians was in general, it must beconfessed, no simple and pure love of an abstract science. A school ofpure astronomers existed among them; but the bulk of those who engagedin the study undoub...tedly pursued it in the belief that the heavenlybodies had a mysterious influence, not only upon the seasons, but uponthe lives and actions of men--an influence which it was possible todiscover and to foretell by prolonged and careful observation. Theancient writers, Biblical and other, state this fact in the strongestway; and the extant astronomical remains distinctly confirm it. The great majority of the tablets are of an astrological character, recording the supposed influence of the heavenly bodies, singly, inconjunction, or in opposition, upon all sublunary affairs, from the fateof empires to the washing of hands or the paring of nails.
