A 2,700-year-old royal seal bearing the mark of the biblical King Hezekiah has been unearthed in Jerusalem.
The tiny oval piece of clay bears the impression of a sun with two wings turned downward, flanked by two ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that symbolise 'life'.
King Hezekiah's rule was responsible for the rise in power of the Kingdom of Judah and an inscription into the bulla reads 'Belonging to Hezekiah (son of) Ahaz king of Judah'.
It is thought to have originally sealed a document written on papyrus which had been rolled and tied with thin cords, the marks of which can still be seen on the back of the seal.
The seal, which is just a third of an inch across (1cm) and a tenth of an inch thick (0.3cm), is thought to be the first impression belonging to an Israelite or Judean king to be found during an archaeological excavation.

Prolly dumber than a turnip to this day...
She told me that Obama “fooled people into voting for him”. But there is still no hope for her. She probably likes Hitlery. I haven’t seen her in about 2 years.
Really?
Well, she’s not entirely stupid and there may be hope....
“He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done†(2 Kings 18:3). “Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. And every work that he undertook...prospered†(2 Chronicles 31:20, 21b).
Looks like a satellite with a solar array deployed.
Cool!
She came the closest to admitting she made a bad mistake that I’ve heard from a liberal personally.
UFO
Nifty. Would be cool if they find artifacts of King David or Solomon someday.
concur it’s an egyptian ankh which goes along with the glyphs and alignment of Judea with the Egyptians after blowing off the assyrian tribute demands.
