We have expressed in the previous pages, that no Tyrian _Ruins_ in Asia or Africa are found, whereby the style of that Nation's Architecture could be identified,--none exist in Sidon, Tyrus, or Carthage;--but, the never-decaying Volume of Religion, contains a living picture of Tyrian art and style at Jerusalem, that never can be in Ruins:--though the identifying marbles of Phœnician architecture,--like the first stone-tablets of the Decalogue,--are broken and lost "beneath the Mount" of Time,--yet upon the page of Holy-Writ do they both appear as new,--as perfect,--as when first erected by Tyrians for the Son of David,--or traced by the finger of GOD for the instruction, and civilization of mankind! The Temple of Solomon, upon the authority of the Bible, was of Tyrian Architecture, (for the Israelites, we repeat it, had no knowledge of the Arts at that time,) built and adorned by the Tyrians,--the same Architecture is found in the Ruins of Ancient America, and consequently Tyrian,--while the substructure being a portion of a Pyramid, justly authorizes (we submit) the new term of Egypto-Tyrian. We cannot dismiss this interesting discovery of an analogy between the Architecture of the Temples of Jerusalem, Palenque, and Copan,--thus proving the two latter to be Tyrian,--without the remark,--that if no other similitude could be found in this volume in order to identify the Mexican Aborigines as Tyrians, we think that the analogy of the Temples alone, would satisfy the reader upon that point; as also, that this History has not been written without that due regard to testimony, and undeniable evidence, demanded by the importance of the subject;--and which, being novel and surprising, requires more than usual proof to convince the mind, that it is analyzing a proposition of truth, and not one of sophistry. The ignorance of the Israelites in reference to the practical arts will be enlarged upon in the next volume.[8]
