Assuming that the civilization of the Euphrates perished with the destruction of Babylon in 535 B. C . (see page 161), we know that it was already 3,300 years old, for back in 3800 B. C. there were already in existence on the banks of the Euphrates cities with culture and society and literature almost as complex as that of today. 148
