The Hill of the Graces: A Record of Investigation Among the Trilithons and Megalithic Sites of Tripoli

Rate this book
Excerpt from The Hill of the Graces

Of course the matter thus brought to light attracted some attention of the learned at home; and more than one writer on early remains has referred to the megaliths of Tripoli; but with such scanty material to study, it could hardly be expected anything very definite could be deduced from the Tripoli ruins. Among these writers, the only one who needs notice here is Fergusson, who, in his Rude Stone Monuments, embodied the information of Barth, and added suggestions of his own. Coming from the pen of such a distinguished writer on architecture, his remarks well merit perusal; but in view of the scanty material he had to draw from, they cannot claim to be in any way authoritative.

الطبعة التي لدي هي الطبعة الاولي من هذا الكتاب والتي تحتوي علي اخطاء كثيرة في ترجمه المناطق والاسماء الي اللغه العربية الي درجة يصعب فيها التعرف علي الاسم الحقيقي للمكان..باعتقادي ان المترجم مصري الجنسية و هو يجهل الاسماء المحلية في ليبيا .
الكتاب يحتوي علي معلومات قيمة تخص بعض الهياكل
" الاصنام" والخرائب الماغليثية الموجودة من غريان غربا حتي مسلاته والخمس مرورا بترهونه شرقا تم كتابة الكتاب في نهاية القرن التاسع عشر.

كتاب يحمل بين طياته معلومات عن الهياكل الثلاثية في مدن ترهونة و مسلاتة و هو يعتبر كتاب هام لمعرفة بعض من تاريخ هاتين المنطقتين الواقعتين جنوب شرق العاصمة الليبية طرابلس
