[169]This subject has been studied in the works named on p. 124, n.
5. Since the last of these was published during the war and is
hardly known abroad, we have included in this Appendix more matter
dealt with on a previous occasion than would otherwise have been
justifiable.
[170]Phrased differently, one might say that we had, without
justification, used the expansion of the Indo-European and
Arabic-speaking peoples as an analogy for the changes observed in
Egypt and Mesopotamia.
[171]Frankfort, _Cylinder Seals_ (London, 1939), 293.
[172]The reader unacquainted with these cylinders may identify the
figures as follows. In Fig. 37 he will see some hieroglyphs which
appear, reversed, at the extreme left in the impression of Fig. 38.
To the right of them one sees the offering table with two crescents
representing loaves of bread; over these a man extends his hand. He
is seated on a bed with legs ending in bull’s or lion’s feet (such
beds have been found in the graves at Abydos). His long hair is
rendered in a crosshatched mass. In Fig. 39 is a similar figure,
facing to the right. His hair is rendered with a straight line.
