Cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia, idols from Anatolia and Syria and pottery from the Holy Land and Jerusalem, are only a few examples. The extensive written records from the last five thousand years, as well as the elaborate scenes of ancient cylinder seals and stamp seals give us a fascinating insight into cultural and religious aspects of biblical times.
