Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – An ancient drawing and curious inscriptions discovered at Kuntillet ‘Ajrud in the Sinai Desert are intriguing Biblical mysteries that still remain unsolved.
Biblical scholars, historians, and archaeologists have long debated whether the figures found on an ancient drawing storage jar depict Yahweh and his Asherah or someone else.
In 1975, while excavating at Kuntillet ‘Ajrud archaeologists unearthed unique artifacts. Among them were two large pithois, or storage jars, that weighed about 30 pounds each.
Reconstruction of the ancient jars revealed they were painted with animals, symbols, humans, deities, and several inscriptions. It is believed the drawing were made over a considerable period and by several different artists. The iconography is entirely Syrian/Phoenician and lacks any connection to the Egyptian models.
