Learning and understanding of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic language. The hieroglyphic script was the longest lived and earliest form of the Egyptian language. Its use was limited primarily to religious and monumental inscriptions, whereas a more cursive script called hieratic was preferred for administrative and epistolary purposes. Hieroglyphic Egyptian employs pictures of objects, each with its own value, to form a complex system in which some signs represent sounds (phonetic signs), and others represent meaning (logograms). All hieroglyphic signs can be divided into five basic types: Consonants or Monoliteral Signs, Bi-Consonant or Biliteral Signs, Tri-Consonants or Triliterals Signs, Logograms, and Determinatives. Monoliteral signs represent a single consonant like "b" or "p." Biliteral signs stand for two consonants like "ms," "km" or "kp." Triliteral signs stand for three consonant like "nfr" or "wsr."

Inscriptions on buildings are a distinctive feature of Islamic architecture, and this book studies the 79 surviving monumental inscriptions in the Iranian world from the first five centuries of the Muslim era (A.D. 622-1106), the period in which all the major trends of monumental epigraphy in the area were set. These foundation, commemorative, and funerary texts come from the region between Iraq and Soviet Central Asia. Written primarily in Arabic, they embellished architectural monuments and furnishings whose nature implies the construction of major buildings. An extended introduction discusses such general topics as titulature, patronage, and stylistic development. Each text is then presented individually with photographs, drawings, transcriptions, translations and an extensive commentary, which presents the inscription in its larger palaeographic and historical contexts.

~These Roman and Jewish writers have all mentioned biblical events: Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Suetonius, The Babylonian Talmud, Josephus, and the letter of Mara Bar-Serapion. ~The most documented Biblical event is the world-wide flood described in Genesis 6-9. A number of Babylonian documents have been discovered which describe the same flood. ~The Sumerian King List, for example, lists kings who reigned for long periods of time. Then a great flood came. Following the flood, Sumerian kings ruled for much shorter periods of time (as mentioned in Genesis). This is the same pattern found in the Bible. Men had long life spans before the flood and shorter life spans after the flood.Sumerian tablets also record the confusion of language as we have in the Biblical account of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9). ~Some of the people mentioned in the bible 's graves have been found, including: Caiaphas was high priest for 18 years, A.D. 18-36. He most likely gained the position by marrying the daughter of Annas, head of a powerful high-priestly clan (John 18:13). Caiaphas is infamous as the leader of the conspiracy to crucify Jesus.The Caiaphas family tomb was accidentally discovered by workers constructing a road in a park just south of the Old City of Jerusalem. They found 12 ossuaries (limestone bone boxes) containing the remains of 63 individuals. The most beautifully decorated of the ossuaries was inscribed with the name "Joseph son of (or, of the family of) Caiaphas." The emperor Augustus ruled the Roman empire from 27 B.C.-A.D. 14. It was Augustus who issued the census decree that brought Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born (Luke 2:1-7). Augustus erected for himself a grand mausoleum in Rome, on the east bank of the Tiber River, one quarter mile northwest of the Roman Forum. The remains exist today in the middle of the Piazza Augusto Imperatore. The Bible says that Sarah, Abraham, Isaac, Rebekah, Leah and Jacob were buried in Hebron, in a cave called the Cave of Machpelah, purchased by Abraham (Gen. 23).References as early as the Hellenistic period (2nd century B.C.) testify that this is the authentic location of the burial place of the Patriarchs. The cave was explored by the Augustine Canons in 1119, at which time they claim to have found the bones of the Patriarchs. The Kings of Judah were normally buried within the city of David. At the southern end of the City of David, south of the Old City of Jerusalem, there are two monumental tunnel tombs which many scholars believe are the tombs of David and Solomon. Unfortunately, they were damaged by later quarrying, so no identifying inscriptions have survived. In the same area are many Iron Age tombs, possibly those of other kings of Judah. One exception to the normal custom was the burial of Uzziah. Since he was a leper, he was not buried with the other kings, but "near them in a field for burial that belonged to the kings, for people said, 'he had leprosy'" (2 Chr 26:23).Interestingly, an inscription was found on the Mount of Olives in 1931 dating to the first century A.D. which reads, "Here were brought the bones of Uzziah, King of Judah ? do not open." Evidently, because of his leprosy, Uzziah's bones were removed from the field belonging to the kings and transferred to yet a more remote location. Cyrus ruled the Persian empire from 559-530 B.C. He is best known for his capture of Babylon in 539 B.C. Already in the 8th century B.C. Isaiah predicted this defeat (Isaiah 45:1-3), and went on to say that Cyrus would "set my exiles free' (Isaiah 45:13). That Cyrus released the Jewish exiles from Babylon is not only documented in the Bible (2 Chronicles 36:22-23; Ezra 1:2-4), but also implied in the contemporary Cyrus Cylinder. This ancient record states, "I (Cyrus) gathered all their former inhabitants and returned to them their habitations."Cyrus was buried in a simple gabled stone tomb outside his capital of Pasargadae in modern Iran. Darius I was king of the Persian empire from 522-486 B.C. He gave permission to renew the rebuilding of the Temple (Ezra 6:1-12), which had been discontinued for some 10 years.His is the first of three monumental tombs cut into a cliff near the Persian capital of Persepolis, Iran. In Deir Alla, Jordan, writings found in 1967 tell about the activities of a prophet named Balaam.Three times in the first four lines he is referred to as ?Balaam son of Beor,? exactly as in the Bible. ~Records and archeological evidence of the Israelis in Egypt has been found: At that time a rural settlement was founded. It was unfortified, although there were many enclosure walls, most likely for keeping animals. The living quarters consisted of rectangular huts built of sand bricks.We can divide the history of the site into three periods: pre-Hyksos, Hyksos and post-Hyksos. The Hyksos were a Semitic people from Syria-Palestine, who took up residence in the eastern Nile Delta and eventually ruled nort northern Egypt for some 108 years, ca. 1663-1555 BC (15th Dynasty).[1] Jacob and his family arrived in Egypt around 1880 BC, based on an Exodus date of ca. 1450 BC. It is highly possible that this is the first material evidence of Israelites in Egypt. It is the right culture in the right place at the right time. Not all residents of the first Asiatic settlement at Tell el-Daba lived in huts. One of them, evidently an important official, lived in a small villa. The Bible tells us that Joseph became a high official after he correctly interpreted pharaoh's dreams (Genesis 41:39-45). We are not told where Joseph lived while serving in the Egyptian bureaucracy. It seems logical to assume, however, that after discharging his duties associated with the famine, he would have moved to be near his father and brothers.The most striking aspect of the house is that the floor plan is identical to the Israelite "four-room house" of the later Iron Age in Palestine.Approximately 20% of the pottery found in the settlement debris was of Palestinian Middle Bronze Age type. In the open spaces southwest of the villa was the cemetery of the settlement.The tombs were constructed of mud bricks in Egyptian fashion, but the contents were strictly Asiatic and the male burials still had weapons of Palestinian type in them. Nearby in what is believed to be Joseph's tomb, excavators found fragments of a colossal statue depicting an Asiatic dignitary.The skin was yellow, the traditional color of Asiatics in Egyptian art. It had a mushroom-shaped hairstyle, painted red, typical of that shown in Egyptian artwork for Asiatics. A throwstick, the Egyptian hieroglyph for a foreigner, was held against the right shoulder.The burial chamber excavators found a few bone fragments, but no intact skeleton as in the other tombs in the cemetery.This is in keeping with Exodus 13:19; cf. Genesis 50:25, as Moses took the bones of Joseph with him during the Exodus because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear an oath.(It was common for tombs to be broken into in antiquity and the valuables removed, but to have the body taken is highly unusual.) ~Here are the OT and NT links to biblical places which have been found: OT:http://www.christiananswers.net/q-abr/ab... NT:http://www.christiananswers.net/q-abr/ab... ~Many of the people mentioned in the Bible are confirmed in sources outside the Bible. In the case of royalty, many times a likeness of the individual has been recovered. Over 50 persons named in the Old Testament are known outside the Bible, and we have likenesses of 12 of them. Some 27 people named in the New Testament are known from other records, with six likenesses surviving (four of them Roman emperors), including: The pharaoh of the Exodus is Tuthmosis III, who ruled 1504-1450 B.C. Shishak, the Egyptian king who plundered the Temple during the reign of Rehoboam (1 Kings 14:25-26). Jehu, king of Israel, who took power in a bloody coup; the only surviving likeness of a king of Israel or Judah (2 Kings 9:1-10:36). Hazael, king of Aram, enemy of Israel (1 Kings 19:15, 17; 2 Kings 8:7-15, 28-29; 9:14-15; 10:32-33; 12:17-18; 13:3, 22, 24,25; Amos 1:4). Tiglath-Pileser III, king of Assyria, who invaded Israel (2 Kings 18:19, 29; 16:7, 10; 1 Chronicles 5:6, 26; 2 Chronicles 28:20). Sargon II, king of Assyria, who defeated Ashdod and completed the siege of Samaria and took Israelites into captivity (Isaiah 20:1). Sennacherib, king of Assyria, who attacked Judah but was unable to capture Jerusalem (2 Kings 18:13-19:37). Tirhakah, king of Egypt, who opposed Sennacherib (2 Kings 19:9). Esarhaddon, king of Assyria, who succeeded his father Sennacherib (2 Kings 19:37). Merodach-baladan, king of Babylon, whose messengers Hezekiah showed the royal treasury, much to the indignation of Isaiah (2 Kings 20:12-19). Xerxes I, king of Persia, who made Esther his queen (Esther; Ezra 4:6). Darius I, king of Persia, who allowed the returning exiles to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem (Ezra 4:24-6:15; Haggai 1:1, 15). Augustus, Roman emperor, 27 B.C.-A.D. 14, when Jesus was born (Luke 2:1). Tiberius, Roman emperor, A.D. 14-37, during Jesus' adulthood and crucifixion (Matthew 22:17, 21; Mark 12:14-17; Luke 3:1; 20:22-25; 23:2; John 19:12,15). Claudius, Roman emperor, A.D. 41-54, who ordered the Jews to leave Rome (Acts 11:28; 17:7; 18:2). Herod Agrippa I, ruler of Judea, A.D. 37-44, who persecuted the early church (Acts 12:1-23; 23:35). Aretas IV, king of the Nabateans, 9 B.C.-A.D. 40, whose governor in Damascus attempted to arrest Paul (2 Corinthians 11:32). Nero (referred to as Caesar in the New Testament), Roman emperor, A.D. 54-68, who Paul appealed to (Acts 25:11,12,21; 26:32; 28:19; Philippians 4:22). ~Modern scientists have found evidence that the walls of Jeriocho did fall. Piles of bricks from the collapsed city wall that were found in 1997 at the base of the city ruins, proving that "the wall fell beneath itself." , according to the Archaeologist Dr. Bryant Wood.Houses were found, built against a portion of the city wall that did not collapse, verifying the Bible's account of Rahab's house that was built against the city wall Joshua 2:15), and that her house was spared (Joshua 2:14-21; 6:22-23).The Israelites "burned the whole city and everything in it" according to Joshua 6:24 and a layer of ash 3-foot thick with burned timbers and debris was found by archeologists.The Bible reveals the time of the Israelite conquest of Jericho and the land of Canaan (I Kings 6:1; Judges 11:26; I Chronicles 6:33-37) at the end of the 15th century B.C nad chronolgical dating by scientists and archeologists has proven that Jericho's destruction happened at the end of the 15th century B.C., precisely the time when the Bible says it happened.This happened at the time of the harvest (Joshua 3:15; 2:6). It only took a week for the Israelites to conquer Jericho.God told them not to take anything from the city.Many large jars full of charred grain were found in the destroyed buildings. This is a very rare find since, because of its value, grain was normally taken from a conquered city. The large amount of grain found at Jericho shows that the harvest had just been taken in / the city was surrounded for only a short time (seven days, Joshua 6:15) / the Israelites did not plunder the city (Joshua 6:18). ~In the story of Samson it says he pulled down an entire temple.Two Philistine temples have been uncovered by archaeologists. One at Tel Qasile, in northern Tel Aviv, and one in Tel Miqne, ancient Ekron, 21 miles south of Tel Aviv. Both temples share a unique design -- the roof was supported by two central pillars! The pillars were made of wood and rested on stone support bases. With the pillars being about six feet apart, a strong man could dislodge them from their stone bases and bring the entire roof crashing down. The archaeological findings match the Biblical story perfectly and attest to the plausibility of the account. what more evidence do you need? design -- the roof was supported by two central pillars! The pillars were made of wood and rested on stone support bases. With the pillars being about six feet apart, a strong man could dislodge them from their stone bases and bring the entire roof crashing down. The archaeological findings match the Biblical story perfectly and attest to the plausibility of the account. what more evidence do you need? Lurkain, I have given more than enough evidence.Its up to you to prove that the pagans haven't been copying the christians & jews. More examples of extra-Biblical confirmation of Biblical events and people: Campaign into Israel by Pharaoh Shishak (1 Kings 14:25-26), recorded on the walls of the Temple of Amun in Thebes, Egypt. Revolt of Moab against Israel (2 Kings 1:1; 3:4-27), recorded on the Mesha Inscription. Fall of Samaria (2 Kings 17:3-6, 24; 18:9-11) to Sargon II, king of Assyria, as recorded on his palace walls.
