(5) They had chariots and horses. 
(6) They married out of their own tribe. 
(7) They entered into alliance with Egypt. 
(8) They were of Turanian race, and probably, therefore, 
not circumcised, as that is not a common Turanian custom. 
(9) They had riches of gold, silver, and bronze. 
From the Bible, on the other hand, we learn— 
(1) The Canaanites lived in cities “ walled up to heaven.” 
(2) They made likenesses of idols, which Israel was to 
destroy, and no such sculptures have been found between Dan 
and Beersheba, though they occur in Phcenicia and Northern | 
Syria. 
%3) The Canaanites adored Tammuz and Ashtoreth. 
(4) Letters are mentioned in David’s time, and writing in 
the time of Moses, but nothing, as far as I know, about 
Canaanite literature, except that some think Kirjath Sepher

enemy of the Canaanites. 
(8) The Canaanites were sons of Ham, and thay’ were 
uncircumcised. 
(9) Great riches are mentioned as found by the Hebrews 
when they attacked the Canaanites. 
This comparison of the Bible and the monuments is capable 
of being greatly extended, but the present pepe has already 
extended far enough. 
To sum up, we have seen, Ist, that the Mouueeeeel nomen- 
clature of the Hittite country and of the Hittite chiefs is 
Tartar ; 2nd, that the sounds of the Hittite language on the 
Syrian monuments are Tartar; 3rd, that the only known 
bi-lingual gives a Tartar-Ugric language; 4th, that the old 
languages of Caria and Lydia are Tartar-Ugric; 5th, that the 
Hittite language and art and hieroglyphic characters compare 
with the Medic and the Akkadian ; 6th, that the subject of 
most (and I believe of all) the known Hittite texts is religious 
or magical ; 7th, that all these facts agree with the Old Testa- 
ment accounts of the Canaanites. 
I think this subject is not only one of the newest, but one
