The Moabite Stone, 1926 - A Testament to Ancient Victories and Royal Legacy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the remarkable Moabite Stone, a significant archaeological discovery made in 1868. Crafted from black basalt, this stone bears an inscription by King Mesha of Moab, dating back to the 9th century BC. The inscription, consisting of 34 lines written in Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, stands as the most extensive ever found in ancient Israel. King Mesha erected this monumental stone as both a record and memorial of his triumphant revolt against the Kingdom of Israel following the demise of his overlord, Ahab. It serves as a testament to his victories and asserts his sovereignty over these lands. The image captures not only the historical importance but also the artistic beauty of this ancient artifact. Its monochrome presentation adds depth and mystery to its intricate carvings and delicate details. As we gaze upon it today through this print collector's lens, we are transported back in time to witness an era filled with conflict, power struggles, and royal ambition. Displayed within "An Outline of Christianity" part four of "The Story of Our Civilization" edited by RG Parsons and AS Peake (published by Waverley Book Club), this photograph invites us into a world where history intertwines with faith. Through this visual representation preserved for future generations, we can appreciate King Mesha's legacy while marveling at humanity's enduring quest for victory and remembrance.
