More pics from the Oriental Institute...

In the city of Babylon there were 120 of these lions that lined the walls of the main drag through the town. The folks at the museum are 99.99% sure that the Biblical character of Daniel would have walked past and looked on these lions! The museum in Chicago has two of these!


King Xerxes (the Ahasuerus) from the book of Esther! Pretty boy! I wonder did he sleep in his curlers? ;o) Big set of lugs on him too!



Finally we have an ancient prism (authentic) with a story mentioning Hezekiah on it! Click on the pic and see the detail on the clay! Amazing! (2 Kings 19)
