从在如此短的时间内在幼发拉底河和底格里斯河流域取得的惊人发现来看，亚述学有望成为重建古代神话、历史和哲学的最广泛以及最重要的辅助工具之一。在这一代人的记忆中，法国驻摩苏尔领事M·博塔最先开始挖掘被掩埋的亚述城市，我们仍然记得这位学者于1842年在霍尔萨巴德发现的消息时，欧洲人的热情和怀疑，这些宫殿由萨尔贡建造，大约在公元前722-705年，展示了最完美的亚述建筑之一和最优秀的皇家建筑样本。1845年，波塔先生将战利品带到法国后，莱亚德先生就开始了他的发掘工作，他在尼尼微和巴比伦的更大发现震惊了欧洲。这样开始的研究继续进行，特别是在巴比伦，由罗林森，拉萨姆，洛夫图斯和泰勒，大英博物馆现在展示了非凡的亚述艺术，科学和文学珍宝，这是我们探险家的劳动。亚述发现：1873年至1874年尼尼瓦遗址上的探索和发现记述。并附有插图。(伦敦：Sampson Low and Co.，1875。)
JUDGING from the marvellous discoveries made within so short a time in the valley of the Euphrates and Tigris, Assyriology promises to be one of the most extensive as well as the most important auxiliaries to the reconstruction of ancient mythology, history, and philology. It is within the memory of the present generation that M. Botta, the French Consul at Mosul, first began the excavations of the buried cities of Assyria, and we can still remember the enthusiasm and also the incredulity with which Europe received the tidings that this savant had actually discovered at Khorsabad, in 1842, the long-lost palaces built by Sargon, about B.C. 722–705, exhibiting one of the most perfect Assyrian buildings and a most excellent specimen of royal architecture. Mr. Layard, who began his excavations as soon as M. Botta carried off his trophies to France (1845), astonished Europe with the still greater discoveries, both at Nineveh and in Babylonia. The researches thus started were continued, especially in Babylonia, by Rawlinson, Rassam, Loftus, and Taylor, and the British Museum now exhibits the remarkable treasures of Assyrian art, science, and literature, which crowned the labours of our explorers.Assyrian Discoveries: an Account of Explorations and Discoveries on the site of Ninevah, during 1873 and 1874.By George Smith, of the Department of Oriental Antiquities, British Museum.
