Sayce has devoted considerable attention to Biblical anthropology, on which subject he has written "The Races of the Old Testament" (1891).
While accepting some of the results of recent criticism (as to the date of the Book of Daniel, for example), he has written a series of books adducing the evidence of the El-Amarna tablets and other inscriptions in support of the authenticity of the early Old Testament narratives.
For reasons of health Sayce is compelled to pass each winter in Egypt; and during his stay there he became acquainted with the treasures of the Cairo genizah, which he was the first to utilize, purchasing a large number of fragments from that source for the Bodleian Library, Oxford.

Archibald Henry Sayce was born on 25 September 1845 in Shirehampton, not far from Bristol.
Sayce’s work in Assyriology and related areas was not just philological in the narrow sense but in the rather wider sense in which he extensively covered history, religion, literature and the people themselves.
Sayce was a pioneer, and an expert in the wide area of knowledge in which he immersed himself, yet he was flawed.

A.H. Sayce was, by 1900, a controversial figure in the field of biblical archaeology who sought to prove the veracity of the Bible as an historical document.
Instrumental in forming that reputation were his lectures to the Hibbert Trustees in 1887, and while Sayce was later known as a popularizer of ancient history, this engrossing collection of addresses displays the formidable breadth and depth of the scholar's knowledge.

 Sayce, Archibald Henry - CDLI Wiki
Archibald Henry Sayce (September 25, 1846 - February 4, 1933) was among the first generation of Assyriologists to begin unlocking the secrets of ancient Mesopotamian civilizations.
In 1874, Sayce became among the very first to translate astrological cuneiform tablets in his paper, "The Astronomy and Astrology of the Babylonians".
In a field where often the only evidence for the existence of an ancient culture was its mention in the Bible, Sayce discovered that the Hittite society was much more than once thought; that it was in fact a Hittite empire.

 Hittites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two of the letters from a "kingdom of Kheta" -- apparently located in the same general region as the Mesopotamian references to "land of Hatti" -- were written in standard Akkadian cuneiform script, but in an unknown language; although scholars could read it, no one could understand it.
Shortly after this, Archibald Sayce proposed that Hatti or Khatti in Anatolia was identical with the "kingdom of Kheta" mentioned in these Egyptian texts, as well as with the biblical Hittites.
During sporadic excavations at Boğazköy (Hattusa) that began in 1905, the archaeologist Hugo Winckler found a royal archive with 10,000 tablets, inscribed in cuneiform Akkadian and the same unknown language as the Egyptian letters from Kheta — thus confirming the identity of the two names.

Sayce arribó a la conclusión de que el sistema jeroglífico hitita era predominantemente silábico, en suma, sus símbolos representaban una sílaba fonética.
Esto llevó a Sayce a la conclusión de que hallando el nombre de una de estas deidades con la ayuda de otro lenguaje dotado de pronunciación similar, uno podría analizar la conversión del nombre antedicho en jeroglíficos hititas.
Sayce pensó en la posibilidad de encontrar una inscripción bilingüe (un texto idéntico pero escrito en dos lenguas, una conocida y la otra interpretada a partir de la primera).

 Christianism - Article 11
With characteristic contempt for the languages and culture of other nations, the Romans like the Greeks before them neglected the knowledge which lay at their doors, and left it to the skill and patience of the nineteenth century to decipher the records which throw so precious a light on the history of human civilisation.
Weak lungs (his first utterance was a cough) and weak eyes were lifelong banes; the first, with their tuberculous tendency, forced him to live out of England most of his time, and gave him four attacks of pneumonia; the second hampered his work by making the reading of cuneiform tablets difficult.
Typhoid, blood-poisoning, a fractured knee-cap, haemorrhage, sciatica, a snake-bite which he cauterized himself with his cook's red-hot tongs, thus saving his life, and a collision with a motor-car were among his set-backs, to which he opposed a wiry physique and great powers of recuperation.

This picture was quite different picture from the archaeological finds, that place the center of the Hatti/Hattusas civilization far to the north, in modern-day Turkey.

I am NOT "the first" to suggest Enki's Fruit-tree garden in Eridu is _one of the prototypes_ behind the Garden of Eden, a number of scholars made this association in the late 19th and early 20th century (ca.
This theory is further supported by the fact that according to the cuneiform inscriptions Eridu was reputed to have in its neighborhood a garden, "a holy place," in which there grew a sacred palm tree.
8) A. Sayce argued that a Date-Palm was the sacred tree planted by Enki in his garden at Eridu, and later Jewish commentators in the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha understood a Date-Palm was the "Tree of Life" denied Adam and Eve.
