The latter place is almost straight south of Baghdad. Again, there are outcroppings of the same strata not far From Hillah, which is close to ancient Babylon, also at Najaf, and west of Basra.

Those earlier ages or eras had come and gone ere Adam drew his first breath. Thus certainly, at least the Miocene Age and
