Rawlinson's Babylonian Discoveries Corroborate Scripture
Among the discoveries made by Col. Rawlinson, in the excavations of Babylon, was Nebuchadnezzar’s hunting diary, with notes, and here and there a portrait of his dogs, sketched by himself, with his name under it. He mentions in it his having been ill; and while he was delirious he thought he had been out to graze like the beasts of the field. Is not this a wonderful corroboration of Scripture? Rawlinson also found a pot of preserves, in an excellent state, and gave some to Queen Victoria, to taste. How little Nebuchadnezzar’s cook dreamed, when making them, that twenty-five centuries after the Queen of England would eat some of the identical preserves that figured at his master’s table!
