Consider what the "book of the law" looked like and contained, how the Neo-Assyrian Empire lost ground to the growing Neo-Babylonians, why Egypt flipped from friend to foe, and where the first (and last?) battle in recorded history was fought.

Consider why a wicked man was allowed to be the longest-reigning monarch in ancient Israel, when and where the stories of his life were recorded, and how sibling rivalry may have been the beginning of the end of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.

Asset number 354010001: Gypsum wall panel relief: Sennacherib watches the capture of Lachish. He sits on a throne and watches as prisoners are brought before him and executed. A tent is behind him; there is a chariot in the foreground and bodyguards stationed around. The king's face has been deliberately damaged, perhaps at the fall of Nineveh in 612BC. The relief bears an inscription written in cuneiform script. © The Trustees of the British Museum: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_1856-0909-14_7
