[1370] See the plan in Schick, Die Stiftshütte, pl. 5. Layard (Discoveries among the Ruins of Nineveh and Babylon, pp. 642-648) points out some analogies between the constructions at Nimrod and Solomon's buildings, but what he says applies chiefly to the palaces.
[1371] Herodotus, book i. sec. 183, speaks of two altars outside of the temple of Marduk in Babylon. In the case of so important a structure, the number of altars was naturally more numerous.
