Babylonian Cylinder Seal

The image of this seal revealed the secret that had led to the renovation and search of the summer palace, a secret of old methods of destruction that when out of control could be used to destroy not just the single city of Babylon, but entire nations.

The images on this smallest seal depict a powerful scene:

King Nebuchadnezzar II, releasing a large constructed form.

A cloud of dust, sending weapons of warfare in all directions accompanied by the eight pointed stars of Ishtar, goddess of war.

The same tree, by the same artisan, that appeared on the other seals, but this tree bore no fruit – instead it was dropping its dead leaves as it died (Fig. 8).

Figure 8. Clay imprint of the innermost seal, King Nebuchadnezzer II with weapon of awesome destruction, actual seal height ~14mm.

I understood. The implications of what I was seeing were far reaching, and I knew what I had to do. On this dreary day in March of 2003 I called my sponsor at the Foundation, explained what I had discovered, and asked if he had any way to bring this information to responsible powers in government. The rest is history. The world is now a safer place, thanks to a government that could respond quickly and surely when presented evidence of a terrible threat, and thanks to the Science of Archaeology.
