In "By the Waters of Babylon" what are 5 things John sees in the place of the gods?

1.  Wild packs of dogs that follow him everywhere, along with other wild animals.

2.  Books.  He was awed by all of the books, written "in tongues that I could not read", and he concludes that their owner must have sought wisdom, just as he is.

3.  Ruins of the city, including "great caves and tunnel" that used to be subway stations.  Also, he found ruined sculptures of once great men, a god "Ashing", which was a statue of George Washington.

4.  "There were pictures upon the walls, very strange, very wonderful".  He describes the pictures being just specks of color up close, but forming flowers from far away, and they made his heart feel "strange".

5.  The dead man.  It led to his great realization that these were not gods, "They were men -- they went a dark road, but they were men".  This revelation was life-changing, not only for him, but for everyone, because he concludes that they can now "make a beginning."  It will reshape their lifestyle, beliefs, customs, and traditions.  This is the most important discovery of them all, and he takes that knowledge back with him to his people.
