Mordot Arnona Jerusalem Sealings 840 BCE

(October 10, 2024)

Iamge is of an eagle-vulture which edits the connections of the life network through which flows the fertilty-fluids which trigger Yahu/Yahweh to manifest life. Archaeologists date these jug handles to around 840 BCE which agrees with the letter style. This was also the time in which Assyria invaded Judah.

Translation in Akkadian

(Read right to left. Capital letters on seal. Small letters are inferred Inner vowels. Verb is italic bold)

Lu Mu Lu Ku
MaMu ṢaTu

(Dual use letters are E/H, I/Y, U/W, and '/A in which vowel appears at beginning of words except for Yahu which is keeping its traditional Hebrew transliteration)

In English.

The lack of fertility-fluids is from lacking involvement
Water for the drought.

Assyrian Invasion was Likely Triggered by a Drought

Lake bottom Core sample data from the Sea of Galilee showing the droughts

Lake bottom Core sample data from the Sea of Galilee. In historical times it shows two major droughts with several minor ones. Minor droughts are indicated anytime the curves turn downward.
The 50 year long Great Drought of 1180 to 1140 BCE (Iron Age 1 period) is what ended the Bronze Age and the 5-year long Elijah drought of 845-840 BCE. The yellow gives the tree pollen level while the green gives the non-tree pollen level. (Langut and Finkelsein 2013)

Major Levant Droughts Based on Pollen Data From Sea of Galilee

(April 2, 2022) Droughts separate the archaeological periods in the Levant. States weakened by local droughts were often subject to raids right after the droughts by Mesopotamian empires which were unaffected due to their irrigation. Below is the latest widely accepted chronology proposed by Amihai Mazar in 2014 shown below:

Droughts According to Drought Chart

1180-1140 BCE - Great Drought
980 BCE
845-840 BCE - Elijah Drought
732 BCE - led to Assyrian invasion
605 BCE - led to Babylonian invasion
