Smashed by ISIS, a 2,700-year-old carving may have been the earliest-known depiction of Jerusalem New research suggests a long-overlooked bas-relief in King Sennacherib’s palace in modern-day Mosul, Iraq, destroyed with other priceless artifacts, showed the Temple Mount and Bible's King Hezekiah

New research argues a relief from Sennacherib’s palace at Nineveh once depicted Jerusalem’s Temple Mount and King Hezekiah, offering rare Assyrian visual testimony to events described in 2 Kings, Isaiah, and Chronicles.
