Samuel Burder, Oriental Literature, 1822

The following extracts are from Mr. KINNIER's Memoir on Persia. “The town of Hilleh is said, by the people of the country, to be built on the site of Babel, and some gigantic ruins, still to be seen in its vicinity, are believed to be the remains of that ancient metropolis. I visited these ruins in 1808, and my friend Captain Frederick, spent six days in minutely examining every thing worthy of attention, for many miles around Hilleh. The principal ruin, and that which is thought to represent the temple of Belus, is four miles north of Hilleh, and a quarter of a mile from the east bank of the Euphrates. This stupendous monument of antiquity, is a huge pyramid, nine hundred paces in circumference, and, as nearly as I could guess, about two hundred and twenty feet in height, at the most elevated part. It is an exact quadrangle: three of its faces are still perfect; but that towards the south has lost more of its regularity than the others. This pyramid is built entirely of brick dried in the sun, cemented in some places with bitumen, and regular layers of reeds, and in others with slime and reeds, which appeared to me as fresh as if they had only been used a few days before. Quantities of furnace-baked brick were, however, scattered at the foot of the pyramid; and it is more than probable that it was once faced with the latter, which have been removed by the natives for the construction of their houses. The outer edges of the bricks, from being exposed to the weather, have mouldered away: it is therefore only on minute examination that the nature of the materials of which it is composed, can be ascertained. When viewed from a distance, the ruin has more the appearance of a small hill than a building. The ascent is in most places so gentle that a person may ride all over it. Deep ravines have been sunk by the periodical rains: and there are numerous long narrow cavities, or passages, which are now the unmolested retreat of jackals, hyaenas, and other noxious animals. The name given by the Arabs to this ruin is Haroot and Maroot. On the opposite side of the river, about six miles s.w. of Hilleh, a second eminence, not quite so large as that just mentioned, but of greater elevation, would seem to have escaped the observation of modern travellers, with the exception of Niebuhr, by whom it is slightly mentioned. It is formed of furnace-baked and sun-dried bricks, about one foot in diameter, and from three to four inches thick. This pyramid is styled Nimrood by the Arabs; and on its summit are the remains of a small square tower, the wall of which is eight feet thick, and about fifty in height. It is built of furnace-baked bricks, of a yellowish color, cemented with slime, but no reeds or bitumen were perceptible. From the tower there is a most extensive view of the windings of the Euphrates, through the level plain of Shinar. Its banks are lined with villages and orchards, and here and there a few scattered hamlets in the desert appeared like spots on the surface of the ocean. On the top and sides of the mound, I observed several fragments of different colors, resembling in appearance pieces of misshapen rock. Captain Frederick examined these curious fragments with much attention, and was at first inclined to think that they were consolidated pieces of fallen masonry; but this idea was soon laid aside, as they were found so hard as to resist iron, in the manner of any other very hard stone, and the junction of the bricks was not to be discerned.”

The Literary Panorama: Mr. Kinneir’s Geographical Memoir of the Persian Empire, 1813

On the opposite side of the river, and about six miles S.W. of Hilleh, a second eminence, not quite so large as that just mentioned, but of greater elevation, would seem to have escaped the observation of modern travelers; with the exception of Niebuhr, by whom it is slightly mentioned. It is formed of furnace-baked and sun-dried brick, about one foot in diameter, and from three to four inches thick. This pyramid is styled Nimrod by the Arabs; and on its summit are the remains of a small square tower, the wall of which is eight feet thick, and, as nearly as I could guess, about fifty in height. It is built of furnace-bake bricks, of a yellowish color, cemented with slime, but no reeds or bitumen were perceptible. From this tower there is a most extensive view of the windings of the Euphrates, through the level plain of Shiner. Its banks are lined with village, and orchards, and here and there a few scattered hamlets in the desert appeared like spots on the surface of the ocean. On the top and sides of the mound I observed several fragments of different colors, resembling, in appearance, pieces of misshapen rock. Captain Frederick examined these curious fragments with much attention, and was at first inclined to think that they were consolidated pieces of fallen masonry; but this idea was soon laid aside, as thy were found so hard as to resist iron, in the manner of any other very hard stone, and the junction of the bricks was not to be discerned. It is difficult to from a conjecture concerning these extraordinary fragments, (some of which are six and eight feet in diameter) as there is no stone of such a quality to be procured anywhere in the neighboring country, and we could see or hear of no building of which they could form a part. Here, those bricks which have inscriptions on them, are generally found by the Arabs, who are constantly employed in digging for them, to build the houses at Hilleh. About a hundred and twenty paces from this pyramid is another, not so high, but of greater circumference at the base. Bricks are dug in great quantities from this place; but none, I believe, with inscriptions.
