In 1868, a Bedouin guide showed a German missionary a black basalt slab near Dhiban, Jordan. The stone, three feet high, bore a 34-line inscription in the Moabite language — a Canaanite dialect closely related to Hebrew. It recorded King Mesha's rebellion against the Kingdom of Israel after the death of Ahab, an event mentioned in 2 Kings chapter 3. A dispute over the stone led locals to heat and crack it with water, shattering it into dozens of fragments. Through a squeeze made on site and patient reconstruction, scholars recovered 669 of perhaps 700 original letters. The Mesha Stele, as it is now called, remains the longest Iron Age inscription ever found in the Levant outside the Hebrew Bible. It contains the earliest known extra-biblical reference to the House of David, though the reading of that line is contested. This episode traces the discovery, destruction, and decipherment of the Moabite Stone, and what it reveals about the politics, religion, and writing of ancient Jordan. #MoabiteStone #MeshaStele #KingMesha #Dhiban #Moab #IronAge #Canaanite #PaleoHebrew #HouseOfDavid #BiblicalArchaeology #CharlesClermontGanneau #Squeeze #Louvre #AncientJordan #KingdomOfMoab #FexingoHistory #History #Archaeology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
