Archaeologists have found a bulla from the Assyrian regime to King Hezekiah demanding tribute and threatening consequences.
“Dear King of Judah, send the tribute quickly by the first of Av (a month) and if not the consequences will be severe,” says the bulla (a seal).
The composition of the bulla is the minerals like those in rocks in the Tigris region, where the Assyrians were based, says Dr. Anat Cohen-Weinberger. with the Israel Antiquities Authority. This seems to corroborate the operating hypothesis that the discovery is real.
The bulla is a small piece of clay with Akkadian writing. It was found south of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in digs that have also unearthed a seal of Hezekiah was found recently.
The continual finding of archaeological evidence not only corroborates the Bible, it also legitimizes Israel claim to the land. The Palestinians have promoted the fiction that Israel has not prior right to the land and that they have been the only legitimate inhabitants. They have denied Israel was ever there.
