Inside nice and clean. The expedition sailed in January 1761 to Cairo and Sinai, before traversing the Red Sea via Jiddah to Yemen, which was their main destination. In Sana the remaining members of the expedition had an audience with the Imam of Yemen al-Mahdi Abbas. From Mocha the expedition continued to Bombay. Niebuhr was now the only surviving member. He stayed in Bombay for fourteen months and then returned home by way of Muscat, Bushire, Shiraz and Persepolis. His copies of the cuneiform inscriptions at Persepolis proved to be a key turning-point in the decipherment of cuneiform, and the birth of Assyriology. He also visited the ruins of Babylon, Baghdad, Mosul and Aleppo. He seems also to have visited the Behistun Inscription in around 1764. After a visit to Cyprus he made a tour through Palestine, crossed the Taurus Mountains to Bursa, reached Constantinople in February 1767 and finally arrived in Copenhagen in the following November. |
