  Death and preservation of head Petrie's headstone in the Protestant Cemetery, Jerusalem (2009) Sir Flinders Petrie died in Jerusalem on 28 July 1942. His body was interred in the Protestant Cemetery on Mount Zion, but he donated his head (and thus his brain) to the Royal College of Surgeons of London. World War II was then at its height, and the head was delayed in transit. After being stored in a jar in the college basement, its label fell off and no one knew to whom the head belonged.[1]

  Fake. Wilhelm von Bode, the general manager of the Prussian Art Collections for the Berlin Museum, spotted the bust in a London gallery and purchased it for a few pounds for the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in 1909. Bode was convinced that the bust was by Leonardo da Vinci and the Berlin Museum authorities, and the German public, were delighted to have "snatched a great art treasure from under the very noses" of the British art world.[2]

  Approximately 500 pieces of Cypriot pottery, containing oil and perfume, were discovered at Tell el-Dab’a. Pendent Line, Cross Line, and White Painted V styles of White Painted Cypriot pottery compose the largest component of exported pottery to Tell el-Dab’a, indicating that Tell el-Dab’a had trade relations with Cyprus. The majority of the exported pieces were of the “broad band” tradition. A single rim fragment from a jar of the White Painted V Fine Line Style was found at the site.

  The heart scarab is an oval scarab artifact dating from ancient Egypt. Mostly an amulet, it was also used as jewelry, a memorializing artifact, or a grave good. The heart scarab was used by referring to Chapter 30 from the Book of the Dead and the weighing of the heart, being balanced by Maat, goddess of truth, justice, order, wisdom, and cosmic balance. The function of the heart scarab was to bind the heart to silence while it was being weighed in the underworld to ensure that the heart did not bear false witness against the deceased. As in many current religions, the individual had to show 'worthiness' to achieve the afterlife. The heart was extremely important to ancient Egyptians as the seat of intelligence and the storehouse of memory. It was the only organ left in place during mummification. Heart scarab amulets were meant as substitutes for the heart should the deceased be deprived of the organ in the afterlife. For example, when a person died, a heart scarab was often placed on their heart and bound underneath the bandages of the mummy. This was to ensure that it could not be physically removed from their person.

  Souvenirs. Based on their amuletic nature, but combining hieroglyphic signs for good luck, pictures of gods or rulers, or defendingagainst evil, a type of scarab was produced by temples andcourts to be given to visitors, in the manner of a modemsouvenir (Ward 1994, 189). The souvenirs not only filled arequirement for the visitor, it was thought to provide aprofitable business for the producers, and supply propaganda for the relevant deity (Keel 1995, 274-5). For example, the priests at Memphis used seal amulets of Ptah to demonstrate the superiority of Ptah over Re in Heliopolis (Keel/Keel-Leu/Schroer 1989, 281-323).

  Possible depiction of the Sun goddess of Arinna. In an effort to harmonize the dynastic pantheon of the Hittite kings, which was influenced by Hurrian religion, with the state pantheon consisting of Hattic and Hittite deities, attempts were made to syncretise Ḫepat and the Sun goddess of Arinna. The best known source attesting it is a prayer of queen Puduḫepa, the wife of Ḫattušili III:

  The core myth at the heart of the cult of Heraion of Samos is that of her birth. According to the local tradition, the goddess was born under a lygos tree (Vitex agnus-castus, the "chaste-tree"). At the annual Samian festival called the Toneia, the "binding", the cult image of Hera was ceremonially bound with lygos branches, before being carried down to the sea to be washed. The tree still featured on the coinage of Samos in Roman times and Pausanias mentions that the tree still stood in the sanctuary.[4]

  the letter He has four horizontal strokes going to the left from the vertical stroke, while a typical He in tenth to fifth century BC northwest Semitic inscriptions contains only three strokes to the left. This letter is present in the inscription at least 3 times, and each time it appears with 4 horizontal strokes. Another difference between the Mesha Stele and the Moabite inscription, is the separation between the words. In the Mesha Stele there are dots, and in the Moabite inscription there are small lines.

The oldest mention of the oasis city appears as "Tiamat" in Neo-Babylonian inscriptions dating as far back as the 8th century BCE. The oasis developed into a prosperous city rich in wells and handsome buildings. Tiglath-pileser III received tribute from Tayma and Sennacherib (r. 705–681 BCE) named one of Nineveh's gates the Desert Gate, recording that "the gifts of the Sumu'anite and the Teymeite enter through it". It was rich and proud enough in the seventh century BC for Jeremiah to prophesy against it in Jeremiah 25:23: "Dedan, Tema, and Buz, and all those who have their hair clipped". It was ruled then by a local Arab dynasty known as the Qedarites. The names of two 8th century BCE queens, Šamši and Zabibe, are recorded.

Christopher Rollston agreed with Ahituv's reading, in the face of some scholars who argue that the script was Phoenician. Rollston notes that in this period, the direction of writing in Northwest Semitic and Phoenician was standardized as sinistrograde (right to left), whereas the incised text is typical of Early Alphabetic, i.e., dextrograde (left to right) script. Rollston would date the text to the 11th century, which is on the early end of Ahituv's 11th–10th-century dating.

vom 3. bis zum 1. Jt. v. Chr. kontinuierlich im ganzen Alten Orient zu belegen und stellt so eines der populärsten Themen der altorientalischen Kunst überhaupt dar.

The "woman at the window", a woman usually wearing an Egyptian-style wig and a frontlet on her forehead, looking frontally out of a window supported on small columns, such as existed in the women's quarters on the upper floor of a Phoenician palace. The allusion is to a cult of Ashtart, common in Cyprus and probably Phoenicia, in which she or her votaress figures as a sacred prostitute. It was perhaps bedecked in this guise that Jezebel looked out of her window to ensnare the returning captain Jehu by her wiles.

Number 12 from Lidzbarski's Handbuch der Nordsemitischen Epigraphik Table XV (cropped).jpg

A war that God waged against a multitude of challengers-the deep, the sea, Rahab the sea monster, the rivers, Leviathan the Twisting Serpent, Leviathan the Elusive Serpent, and the sea dragons-is referred to in the psalms, the prophecies, and other writings. We find, for example, in Isaiah 51:9-10: "Awake, awake, clothe yourself with splendor. O arm of the LORD! Awake as in days of old, as in former ages! It was you that hacked Rahab into pieces, that pierced the Dragon. It was you that dried up the waters of the great deep [tehom]."
