Tell-Halaf Discloses a Forgotten People
Subarean Statues Found in Mesopotamia Reveal a Culture

Colossal statues and towering

are said not only to be unique
among archaeological discoveries but
to open a new field of study for the
scholar of antiques. According to
Baron Max von Oppenheim, a not-
ed German archaeologist and student
of Subarean-Hittite culture, now in
the United States to study recent
discoveries made at Jr of the Chal-
dees, the artifacts of Tell-Halaf indi-
oate a civilization older than any

Mesopotamian Discoveries
The archaeological discoveriee
were made In Upper Mesopetamia
on the site of the ancient city of
Tell-Halaf and now repose in the
Baron's museum in Berlin, where
they are now. being studied by schol-
ars. According to the Baron, Tell-
Halaf thrived about. 3500 B.C., and
therefore the Subarean race which
built it antedated the Sumerians at
Ur. Baron von Oppenheim believes
that his discoveries establish a new
and hitherto unsuspected link be-
tween the Egyptian and Subarean,
civilizations, for "the Kings of Tell -

Baron von Oppenheini dates his
discoveries by means ot the paintad
pottery found below the Sumerian or
Babylonian level.
."This painted pottery is much
earlier than 3,699.,13.0:4", he continu-
ed. "It is coksteiopors.tteous with
flint and otheSostone leapleinents.
The clay from which it 'was Made
was a light yellow. 13lack-hrown
dye was used in painting the de-
signs. It is a dye 'that cannot be
imitated. We have tried to imitate
it in Germany, but have been unsuc-
cessful. This dark brown shade was
the original color, which lies since
taken on a reddish tint. There is
no mistaking the prehistoric pottery
which dates with accuracy, the level
where it is found. Mr. Woolley of
the University of Pelinsylvania found
similar pottery at Ur in Lower Mes-
opotamia where he is fixcavating be-
low the Sumearian stratum. Ur is
a long distance from Telllalaf, and
the Sumerian art found there is, not
the same as our art. The two are
independent of each other."
It was not until 1911 that the first
archaeological expedition discovered
the site of Tell -Hale; for there had
been drama and secrecy about the
buried city. Only because the.. Bar-

covered up and fled. The next year
came the plague and a pest of locuets,
convincing the Bedouins that 'the
winged monsters had sent the
scourge. Only after much recon-
noitering was the site of the desert-
ed city disclosed. Superficial dig-
gings at once uncovered an exten-
