About this book
The Land of the Hittites is described on its title page as an account of recent explorations and discoveries in Asia Minor, with descriptions of the Hittite monuments. The title page lists maps and plans, ninety-nine photographs and a bibliography, by John Garstang. An introductory note by the Rev. Professor A. H. Sayce says the history of ancient Oriental civilisation is slowly revealing itself to the excavator and archæologist.
The text says the man upon the ladder is not holding the ladder in order to climb up higher, and is working with a chisel and mason’s hammer. The text says it is implied that the man is dressing the wall face, as was commonly done after the blocks had been fitted, and that the completion of the palace is commemorated by the sculpture. A list of names and numbers includes, among others, Samalla (Samaal), identified with Sinjerli, and Samosata (Samsat).
