Book Description
Excerpt from The Khita and Khita-Peruvian Epoch: Khita, Hamath, Hittite, Canaanite, Etruscan, Peruvian, Mexican, Etc The following pages consist chiefly of a memoir read before the Royal Historical Society, for the purpose of giving a brief sketch of the work carried on by myself and others, for the investigation of a great epoch of culture, which preceded the Assyrian, the Semitic, and the Greek, and which, according to my views, extended to America, and closed the period of ancient intercourse between the Old World and the New. This essay will be found very imperfect and fragmentary, for it cannot deal with the whole of a subject so wide, and it cannot give exact information on new and obscure epochs, of which little is known, to which investigation is newly directed, and where the results present but a small relation to what remains to be discovered. Indeed, my chief object is to direct the attention of scholars as much as of the public, to these fields of research. It will be noticed that all kinds of names have been used, shifted, and changed, and this must necessarily be the case for what is new and undeterminate. Akkad and Sumerian are as yet conflicting terms, and some most distinguished Semitic scholars deny that there is any Akkad language of a Turanian class. Shifting my ground as circumstances suggest and permit, I have adopted the term Khita, from Dr Birch, but I give it a much wider application. Indeed, the topics of these pages constitute the battle-fields of scholars, Akkad, Etruscan, Hamath, etc. I have extended the ground of controversy by bringing America into connection with the classic regions. If, however, so much controversy and so much difference of opinion exist, nevertheless the solid results are great. The discovery and determination of Akkad constitute an era in scholarship. The explorations of Dr Schliemann in the Troad and Mycenae yield us material proofs. The newest researches of Dr Deecke of Strasburg, as to the derivation of the Cypriote and Phoenician characters from the Assyrian cuneiform, give us facts of importance, and, as in all such cases, new means for further inquiries. It is such progress which encourages us to persevere in the decipherment of Etruscan, Hamath, and Maya. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
