[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/99/8c/wPjXXTyo_o.png[/IMG] This scene is described by the British Museum as depicting prisoners from Lachish https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/W_1856-0909-14_5 Note at top there are two pictures running together That is how it goes on the relief. I couldn't find a continuous picture of it but that is how it was on the actual relief, as one Also note that the upper right photo itself is often not seen whole. The museum displays that in separate sections. Look at the little girl in the front of the cart. Running right through her is actually a crack line that goes all the way across up and down but this photo was taken when they put to together. Now however it shown as two separate pieces. None of this however is important. The man in the center part of the same much larger scene with fig and olive trees in the background is driving an ox. Similarly the man on the upper right is a man driving an ox and carrying a sack (same guy repeated larger at the bottom) Several of the figures are carrying sacks including the men on the upper left who also carry goblets of some sort. At the lower right women also carry sacks. The man at the top center carrying a box-like object has a beard that is hard to see but I showed it previously. He has one of those helmets or caps with ear flaps. Similarly the ox driver in the center has on of them also. The ox driver on the upper right is rare in these reliefs (same dude is shown again at the very bottom) He's rare due to the fact that he's carrying a sack. There are many other figures like him not carrying sacks and they have long gowns on. One Assyrian is at top middle with a spear . He has no sack or ox. Anyway what is the point of this? The point is that all of these figures except the Assyrians seem to be in "pack your belongings and belongings and get out mode" This leads my to believe that the two ox carriers one with the cap and no beard and shaven maybe be the same ethnic type as the other ox driver with the beard but I'm not sure about it. My theory is that this group are people packing their bags and ox and carts forced to leave the city while the others, maybe they are being shown in some sort of religious mode and also some being tortured by the Assyrians, possibly a priest class. Or that this scene above is people already and outside of the city while in other scenes the other people are still inside the city and being confronted by the Assyrians. [/QB][/QUOTE]
