Summary:
This is Volume IV of the 'Books On Egypt And Chaldea' Series. It is based, in part, upon the cuneiform inscriptions that had been discovered in Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq). It includes accounts of the gods of Babylon, the idea of heaven and hell, the legends of creation and the story of the deluge (which is very similar to that in Genesis). It also has tales of the gods and heroes of Ancient Babylon. Illustrated.
