V-i WHERE DESERT SANDS ARE GIVING UP THE SECRETS OF THE WORLD’S EARLIEST KNOWN CIVILIZATION The darkest ages of civilization are being successfully penetrated for the first time at Kish, seat of the world’s earliest known dynasty, by excavations being carried on by the Field Museum-Oxford Uni versity Mesopotamian expedition under the leadership of Prof. 8. Langdon, an American, who now heads the Department of Assyrkology at Oxford. The 5,000 year old necropolis of Kish, which was the city’s main burial ground during a reconstruction period, has probably yielded some of the most interesting objects of a type not heretofore known to exist. These objects, which include personal property buried with the dead in brick-lined graves include rare ancient jewelry, precious gems, spindles and jeweled whorls, glazed pottery, children's toys of clay, engraved seals of metal, glass, and stone; daggers, battle axes, etc. Cylinder seals, used for legal transactions, found in the graves of females, constituted only one of many evidences that women of the ancient age possessed equal rights. “Vanity cases,” contain ing manicuring knives and copper "sticks” Suggestive of eyebrow pencils, as well as cardium shells sug gestive of rouge, were also found.
