The article focuses on the work of modern archaeologists, which is a source of astonishment and admiration to the layman. Their undertaking demand courage of no mean order; how much greater, then, the daring of a layman who ventures to offer suggestions in relation to the work of those whose keenness of vision merits such unstinted praise. The archaeologist points out the evidences of the existence of civilizations long since obliterated and altogether forgotten. It is assumed that such remains of long past civilizations as are found by the archaeologists should in general be taken as representative of cultures of a much higher order than would be indicated by the objects that are discovered.
