Excerpt from The Builders of Babel The following pages have been written to elucidate the fulfilment of one of the oldest prophecies of the Bible in the events that constitute the history of the civilized world. History, in the ordinary sense of the word, signifies the authentic history of mankind, which admittedly commences at the first Olympiad, 776 B.C. But the history to which we refer has been developed far before that date by the new science of "Prehistoric Archaeology," which has come into existence within the last fifty years, and has been consolidated and rendered fruitful by some of the most astute and enterprising of modern philosophers.
