The narrator with Rudolf Virchow and Emile Burnouf details excavations at Troy uncovering the entire circuit wall and 40,090 allicoeeters of debris from the suburb. He describes gold bracelets, ear-rings, a breast ornament, and other ornaments, plus abundant pottery and silver finds, and notes a conical tumulus Udjek Tepe and Besien Tepe. He argues Caracalla built the larger tumulus and challenges long held alluvial explanations for Troy’s plain, asserting a shallow riverbed and ancient yellow clay beneath.

The Evangelist cites a satirical version of Genesis mockingly tracing creation through evolution, mentioning Cosmos, protoplasm, primordal germ, and survival of the fittest with references to Darwin, Spencer, and Arnold, then a garbled dialogue about a rib and a safe exit. The piece presents a mock scripture from an ironic historical context.
