Don't you think there might have been some more progress in the archaeology and anthropology of the region since then?
Our understanding of history doesn't stand still. Well... apparently yours has. 1900??? I own a small set of American history books -- I can see them from where I sit -- from 1911. The depiction of encounters with Native Americans, or as they are called in those books, "savages", by European settlers is quite different from the more nuanced understanding we now have. Not to put too fine a point on it, our understanding has changed somewhat since then.
Your source for Babylon dates from a time before numerous 20th century excavations of the ancient city. That's OK for a history of archaeology, to show how far we've progressed since then, but not for a citation in a serious discussion on the culture itself.
