By All Mean There is no Comparison Among both of countries . they have their own value and importancelet me share some of informationPakistan1. The world’s 26th largest economyIt is a nuclear power and it has one of the strongest world armies. It RANKS 26TH in the largest economies of the world and has the second BEST PERFORMING STOCK EXCHANGE.2. The world’s seventh largest standing forcePakistani armed forces are internationally ranked as the SEVENTH LARGEST in the world, with the man power of 642,000. Pakistan provides the LARGEST NUMBER OF TROOPS to serve the UN peacekeeping missions.Along with this, Pakistan has one of the best trained air force pilots in the world. During the war of 1965, SQUADRON LEADER MEHMUD ALAM held the world record of downing five Indian planes in less than a minute.3. Fourth smartest people in the worldAccording to a poll organised by the Institute of European Business Administration, from 125 countries, Pakistanis have been ranked the FOURTH MOST INTELLIGENT PEOPLE across the globe. Pakistan has the seventh largest collection of scientists and engineers.The world’s youngest certified Microsoft experts, the late ARFA KARIM and Babar Iqbal, both hail from Pakistan. HAROON TARIQ, Ali Moeen Nawazish and Moosa Firoz are globally recognized achievers.4. Top national anthem tune of the worldInspiring, motivational and beautiful poetry makes PAKISTAN’S NATIONAL ANTHEM the number one ranked tune in the world. Hafeez Jullundhri’s words were composed by musician Ahmad G Chagla. Pakistan also HOLDS THE RECORD of most people singing the anthem, simultaneously.5. Miraculous, breath-taking beautyAansu Lake, shaped like a tear drop, is at a height of 16,490 feet in Kaghan Valley.The rooftop of the world, TRANGO TOWERS, the tallest vertical mountain in the world, Gilgit-Baltistan, along with four of the 10 highest peaks of the planet, make Pakistan the ‘rooftop of the world’.BIAFO GLACIER is the world’s longest glacial system outside the polar regions and that too is in Pakistan.Pakistan has the world’s largest and most scenic railway gradient. A view of a tunnel and bridge over a river on the railway track from Rohri to Quetta, it’s the longest railway gradient of the world and the most scenic railway ride of Asia.6. The second largest salt minesThe Khewra Mines are Pakistan’s oldest and the world’s SECOND LARGEST SALT MINES.Their history goes back to 320 BC.7. The world’s largest ambulance networkEDHI FOUNDATION is Pakistan’s largest non-profit social welfare program. It runs the world’s largest ambulance network in Pakistan.8. Exceptional infrastructureAbout 25% of Pakistan’s total land area is under cultivation and is watered by the largest irrigation system in the world. Pakistan irrigates three times more acres than Russia.Tarbela Dam on the Indus River in Pakistan is the LARGEST EARTH FILLED DAM in the world and second largest by structural volume.9. The world’s largest manmade forestChanga Manga is one of the largest man-planned and MAN-GROWN FORESTS in the world. It covers the area of approximately 12,000 acres.10. Asia’s largest bird sanctuary and the place where time stopsPakistan has Hunza Valley, where time stops and fairies tread. The valley mostly remains covered under snow in winter, but when it melts, the sensuous hilly contour and the luxurious vegetation become a magnet to all and sundry.HALEJI LAKE is another asset. It is Asia’s greatest water fowl reserve. During winter, a hundred thousand birds fly down to Haleji from the cold of Siberia, making it the largest bird sanctuary of the continent.While there are many who are more than willing to give up on Pakistan, for those who wish to salvage and save it, there are enough factors in this country to keep them motivated with their cause.IndonesiaIndonesia my personal Favorite Countryhere are some very interesting facts about Indonesia1. It covers a lot of groundThis vast place extends 5,120 kilometres from east to west. That's longer than the distance (as the crow flies) from London to Tehran (4,403km).Indonesia dwarfs Europe2. And is made up of 18,307 islandsThat’s according to a 2002 survey by the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (the CIA World Factbook seems to think it’s 17,508, however, while a more recent survey, by a different agency, put the figure at 13,466). Only Canada, Norway, Sweden and Finland have more.3. It’s heaven for animal loversAccording to Conservation International, just 17 countries are considered "megadiverse". Each possesses a vast number of different species – many found nowhere else. And Indonesia is one.4. And home to the world’s largest lizardThe Komodo dragon lives on just five Indonesian islands – Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar. They are truly fearsome, weighing up to 150lbs and possessing toxic bites, allowing them to hunt and kill far bigger animals – even humans.Don't mess with these lizardsStanley Stewart visited the islands for Telegraph Travel last year. He wrote: “Our guide Harry Christensen, a proper ocker Aussie who has been sailing these waters for years, told us how the Komodo’s venom induces shock and heart failure in its victims, how it dislocates its jaws like a snake to devour large prey, how it is a miniature replica of a much larger Jurassic ancestor. ‘AMAZING!’ Harry raved, flapping his arms like a man trying to escape his own body. ‘These dragons inspired the legends of King Kong!’”Lion Air might be the biggest airline you've never heard of CREDIT: 2014 BLOOMBERG/BLOOMBERG7. It has 139 volcanoesIndonesia has the third most volcanoes in the world, behind the US and Russia, according to the National Museum of Natural History’s Global Volcanism Program.The volcanic island of Krakatoa, between Java and Sumatra, is perhaps the most famous. It was responsible for one of the world's biggest modern eruptions; when it blew in 1883, it unleashed two huge tsunamis that killed more than 36,000 people and emitted what is considered to be the loudest sound ever heard.MountS8. Some of which you can climbA base for trips to the summit of Mount Bromo, Cemoro Lawang appears to sit on the edge of the world. The landscapes are spectacular – many say the most spectacular in Indonesia – and the region is home to the fascinating Hindu Tengger community, distinct from the predominantly Muslim lowland Javanese. Hike, admire the scenery or visit during the annual Kasada ceremony, when the Tengger climb to the crater's edge to cast offerings into the hissing, seething inner crater.9. There are eight Indonesian World Heritage SitesKomodo National Park we’ve touched on, but others include the rainforests of Sumatra, home to scores of orangutans…Sumatra's most famous residents CREDIT: CATALIN PETOLEA/CATALIN PETOLEA...and the spectacular temple complex of Borobudur.Indonesia's most spectacular temple CREDIT: HAPPYSTOCK - FOTOLIA11. has a very tall mountainLorentz National Park, another of the country’s Unesco World Heritage sites, on the island of Papua, is vast – covering 9,674 square miles – and home to a huge array of ecosystems, including mangroves, rainforest, alpine tundra and equatorial glaciers. Its highest point, Puncak Jaya, is the tallest mountain between the Himalayas and the Andes.There are 123 mammalian species and 630 species of bird, including many that are endemic to the region. But much of the park remains unexplored – so scientists believe more are waiting to be discovered.12. And a very large flowerRafflesia arnoldi, endemic to Sumatra, is noted for producing the largest individual flower on Earth. But don’t pick one for your lover – it is said to smell like decaying flesh, earning it the nickname "corpse flower".13. There’s a lot of coastlineLove to be beside the seaside? Then you won't be disappointed in the destinations that appear in darker colours on the map below - they can boast the longest coastlines in the world. Indonesia is second overall, with a staggering 54,716km.Indonesia has beaches galore CREDIT: CREDIT: ROBERTHARDING / ALAMY STOCK PHOTO/ROBERTHARDING / ALAMY STOCK PHOTO14. And a lot of people261.1m people call Indonesia home, making it the fourth most populous country on the planet. It is also home to the world’s biggest Muslim population (around 225m).15. It still has the death penaltyIndonesia still enforces the death penalty - by firing squad. In 2015 it executed eight drug traffickers, including two Australians, in a case that triggered an international outcry, while Lindsay Sandiford, a British woman, is currently on death row after being found guilty of smuggling cocaine into Bali in 2012. Her case is particularly baffling: she claims she was coerced into carrying the drugs by a criminal gang, and helped police with a sting operation to catch her accomplices. She was then sentenced to death while others involved were only given jail time.Indonesia is by no means alone. More than 50 countries still have the death penalty, including Vietnam, one of the world’s biggest executioners, according to Amnesty International (429 prisoners were killed there between August 2013 and June 2016), Thailand, Barbados, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago.17. Its capital is the most Instagrammed on EarthInstagram recently revealed that Jakarta is the city most frequently geotagged in its Stories format.“10 million people call this metropolis home and another 8 million pour into the city to work every day,” writes Simon Parker in his guide to Jakarta. “The traffic and vastness of Jakarta might seem daunting, but this is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines - seeking them out is part of its allure. The old town of Batavia will transport you to Indonesia’s Dutch colonial past while the fashionable Menteng district is a hive of live music venues, exclusive restaurants and hip hotels. World-renowned restaurants, bars and nightclubs perch on top of towering skyscrapers, while shoppers can choose from dozens of gargantuan shopping malls.”The sprawling capital CREDIT: CREDIT: ROOM THE AGENCY / ALAMY STOCK PHOTO/ROOM THE AGENCY / ALAMY STOCK PHOTO18. The flag might catch you outMonaco, Poland and Indonesia have very similar flags. Do you know which is which?Nope, that's PolandThis is actually Monaco's flagThis is Indonesia's flag – the same as Monaco, just a little wider19. Best of all - it’s cheapThe biennial World Economic Forum (WEF) Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report was released earlier this summer. Based on factors including safety, infrastructure, health and cultural resources, Spain is the greatest destination, it says, followed by France and Germany. But the top 20 for "price competitiveness" is very different. Indonesia is fifth best value, behind only Algeria, Malaysia, Egypt and Iran.

The Bible is not a book but a collection of 66 books, written over a span of 1600 years across 3 continents, by over 40 writers inspired by God in 3 languages yet it has ONE primary theme ( The Glory of God and salvation of mankind ) and zero errors or contradictions. It is scientifically, prophetically, archaeologically, historically and linguistically accurate.Archaeology as proof of the BibleAnd the noted Dr J.O. Kinnaman said: “Of the hundreds of thousands of artifacts found by the archaeologists, not one has ever been discovered that contradicts or denies one word, phrase, clause, or sentence of the Bible, but always confirms and verifies the facts of the Biblical record.”Nelson Gueck: “It may be dated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever contraverted a Biblical reference.”Albright: “The excessive scepticism shown toward the Bible by important historical schools of the 18th and 19th centuries has been progressively discrdited.”Willmington gives 83 examples of archaeology proving major Bible events. Some are:1. CREATION.Gen. 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”. Between 1848-76 tablets with the 1st extra-Biblical account of creation were discovered from the library of King Ashurbanipal of Assyria (669-626 BC) and are written on seven day tablets, stating:There are “seven” tablets (or epochs) of creation- “in the beginning” a “primeval abyss”- a “chaos of waters” called “the deep”- the gods “formed all things”- made the “upper and lower firmaments”- “established the heavens and the earth”- the 4th day “ordained the stars”- “made the grass and the green herbs to grow”- “the beasts of the field and the cattle and all living things”- on the 6th day “formed man out of the dust of the ground”- “they became living creatures”- “man with wife they dwelt”- “companions they were”- “in a garden was their dwelling”- “clothing they knew not”- the “7th” day was appointed a “holy day”, and “to cease from all business commanded”.Both Bible and Assyrian accounts resemble:i) an original chaos and darknessii) similar order of events: light, atmosphere, dry land, stars, man, God resting2. ORIGINAL MONOTHEISM. Romans 1:21-23The 2 earliest civilizations were Egypt and Sumeria. Both were originally monotheistic, not worshipping many gods.Sayce announced (1898) that he had discovered, on three separate tablets in the British Museum, of the time of Hammurabi, the words “Jahwe (Jehovah) is God”.3. GARDEN OF EDEN. Gen. 2:8-17ARCHAEOLOGICAL NOTE: Eridu, Traditional Garden of Eden The particular spot which tradition has fixed as the site of the Garden of Eden is a group of mounds, tweleve miles south of Ur, known as Eridu (Abu Sharem).It was the home of “Adapa”, the Babylonian Adam (see page 68).The Weld Prism says the first two kings in history reigned at Eridu (see page 71).Ancient Babylonian inscriptions say, “Near Eridu was a garden, in which was a mysterious Sacred Tree, a Tree of life, planted by the gods, whose roots were deep, while its branches reached to heaven, protected by guardian spirits, and no man enters”.The ruins of Eridu were excavated by Hall and Thompson, of the British Museum (1918-19).They found indications that it had been a prosperous city, revered as the Original Home of Man.4. FALL OF MAN. Gen. 3:6i) The Fall is described in King Ashurbanipal of Assyria library, 700 BC, and in Amenhotep III of Egypt, 1400 BC. Adapa is Adam.ii) In 1932, Speiser discovered a Temptation Clay Seal, showing a fruit tree. A woman is picking fruit from athe tree. Behind her is a serpent, whispering to her. In British museum.iii) In 1932, Speiser discovered an “Adam and Eve” seal at Nineveh. One inch in diamter and dated 3500 BC. A naked man and woman walking downcast, followed by a serpent.iv) Cherubim guarding tree of life (3:24), resemble the winged lioned statues guarding ancient temples at Babylon. The Sphinx of Egypt resembles the Cherubim.5. TEN LONG-LIVED PRE-FLOOD KINGS Gen. 5Weld prism, 2170 BC, gives ten long-lived pre-flood kings, agreeing well with the ten preflood Patriarchs from Adam to Noah in Gen. 5:1-32.6. NOAH”S FLOOD. Gen. 6:13,14 and Gen.6-9In 1853, H. Rassman unearthed some Babylonian flood tablets in Nineveh, taken from the ssyrian kking Ashurbanipal’s library (669-626 BC). The eleventh book in this discovery was the Epic of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh was a legendary Mesopotamian king who set out on a journey to find his ancestor Utnapishtim, from whom he hoped to discover the secret of eternal life.He finally found him. Utnapishtim told Gilgamesh he had once lived in a land called Shuruppak and had been a worshipper of the tree god Ea. He then related the story of the flood and his escape from it. His story may be summarized as follows:“The assembly of the gods decided to send a deluge. They said, ‘on the sinner let his sin rest.O man of Shuruppak, build a ship, save your life. Construct it with six stories, each with seven parts. Smear it with bitumen inside and outside. Launch it upon the ocean. Take into the ship seed of life of every kind.’ So I built it. With all that I had I loaded it, with silver, gold, and all living things that I had. I embarked upon the ship with my family and kindred. I closed the door. The appointed time arrived. I observed the appearance of the day. It was terrible. All light was turned to darkness. The rains poured down. The storm raged like a battle charge on mankind. The boat trembled. The gods wept.I looked out upon the sea. All mankind was turned to clay, like logs floating about. The tempest ceased. The flood was over. The ship grounded of Mt. Zazir. On the seventh day, I sent out a dove; it returned. I sent out a swallow; it returned. I sent out a raven; it alighted; it waded about; it croaked; it did not return. I disembarked. I appointed a sacrifice. The gods smelled the sweet savour.They said, ‘Let it be done no more.’ “ (Suggested by Halley’s Handbook, p. 76).“And God said unto Noah, the end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch” (Gen. 6:13,14).Other TraditionsEgyptians had a legend that the gods at one time purified the earth by a great Flood, from which only a few shepherds escaped.Greek tradtion: Deucalion, warned that the gods were going to bring a flood upon the earth, for its great wickedness, built an ark, which rested on Mt. Parnassus. A dove was sent out twice.Hindu tradtion: Manu, warned, built a ship, in which he alone escaped from a Deluge which destroyed all creatures.Chinese tradtion: Fa-He, founder of Chinese civilization, is represented as having escaped from a Flood sent because man had rebelled against heaven, and his wife, three sons and three daughters.England: Druids had a legend that the world had been re-peopled from a righteous patriarch who had been saved in a strong ship from a Flood sent to destroy man for his wickedness.Polynesians have stories of a Flood from which eight escaped.Mexicans: One man, his wife and children, were saved in a ship from a Flood which overwhelmed the earth.Peruvians: One man and one woman were saved in a box that floated on the flood waters.American Indians: Various legends, in which one, three or eight persons were saved in a Boat above the waters on a high mountain.Greenland: The earth once tilted over, and all men were drowned, except one man and one woman, who re-peopled the earth. (see International Standard Bible Encyclopedia).Universality of the Tradition Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Hindus, Greeks, Chinese, Phrygians, Fiji islanders, Esquimaux, Aboriginal Americans, Indians, Brazilians, Peruvians, and indeed every branch of the whole human race, Semitic, Aryan, Turanian- have traditions of a Great Deluge that destroyed all mankind, except one family, and which impressed itself indelibly on the memory of the ancestors of all these races before they separated.“All these myths are intelligible only on the supposition that some such event did actually occur. Such a universal belief, not springing from some instinctive principle of our nature, must be based on an Historical Fact.”7. DESTRUCTION OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH.Consider:a) Existence of these citiesBefore 1968 there was no reference outside the Bible to Sodom and Gomorrah. Giovanni Pettinato, a young graduate from Rome University, discovered the ancient city of Ebla, along with thousands of clay tablets. Some tablets mentioned five sister “cities of the plain” (Gen. 14:2): Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, Zoar (Bela).One tablet records a receipt for grain shipped between Ebla and Sodom.b) Fertile Area around Sodom is supported by five oases. Pottery and flint were found dating from 2500- 2000 BC, where civilization ended abruptly.c) Destruction: Flammable asphalt and sulphur odours fill the area.“If we take a rowing boat across the ‘Salt Sea’ to the southernmost point we shall see, if the sun is shining in the right direction, something quite fantastic: some distance from the shore, and clearly visible under the surface of the water, stretch the outlines of forests which extraordinarily high salt content of the Dead Sea has kept in preservation. The trunks and roots in the shimmering green must be very ancient indeed. Once upon a time, when they were in blossom and green foliage covered their twigs and branches, perhaps the flocks of Lot grazed under their shadow.” (Werner Keller, The Bible As History, pp. 94, 98).Salt, sulphur and bitumen about 2056 BC were mangled maybe by an earthquake. The violent explosion hurled the red hot mixture into the air, so that it literally rained fire and brimstone(sulphur) over the whole plain. There are many pillars of salt at the South end of the Dead Sea, which have borne the name “Lot’s Wife”. The whole region exactly dovetails the Bible story of Sodom and Gomorrah.8. The Tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1-9)There are over 24 ancient temple towers called Ziggurats in Southern Mesopotamia.Archaeological evidence suggests that the Tower of Babel was in reality a building given over to atrology, or the heathen worship of the heavens. Among the ruins of ancient Babylon is abuilding 153 feet high with a 400-foot base. It was constructed of dried bricks in seven stages, to correspond with the known planets to which they were dedicated. The lowermost was black, the colour of Saturn, the next orange, for Jupiter, the third red, for Mars, and so on. These stages were surmounted by a lofty tower, on the summit of which were the signs of the Zodiac.9. The Hittite Empire (Gen. 15:20)a) Hittites are mentioned 47 times in the Old Testament, e.g. Uriah (II Samuel 11:3), Esau married a Hittite (Gen. 26:34)b) Before the nineteenth century, the Bible was the only record of Hittites, causing critics to sneer at the Bible.c) But, in 1906, Hugo Winkler discovered Boghaz- Keul, an Hittite capital with over 10 000 clay tablets. These confirmed Joshua’s description of the Western fertile crescent as the land of the Hittites (Josh. 1:4).They discovered iron smelting, but were destroyed in 717 BC by Assyria.10. Death of the firstborn in Egypt (Ex. 12:29)Amenhotep II, the Pharaoh of the ten Plagues, forstborn son did not succeed him after his death, because his firstborn son was killed in the tenth plague (Ex. 12:29).“And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle” (12:29)11. Destruction of Pharaoh and his armies in the Red Sea Ex. 14The tomb of Amenhotep II was never finished, as he was drowned as he chased the Israelites into the Red Sea(Exodus 15:19).“... and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them” (14:27, 28).12. Parting of the Jordan River (Joshua 3)In 1927 the Jordan was stopped for 21 hours. Bible miracles are also miracles of timing.“And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord... shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters... shall be cut off... and they shall stand in one heap”(3:13)“... the waters which came down from above stood and rose up in one heap very far from the city Adam...”(3:16)We read that the waters of Jordan were blocked from Adam (the modern Damieh), about sixteen miles north of Jericho. Three times in relatively modern history (1266, 1906, 1927) a landslide has blocked the Jordan’s flow.13. Joshua’s invasion of CanaanIn 1896, 350 clay tablets were excavated at the Egyptian court in Amarna, known as the “AMARNA TABLETS”. They contain letters written by Palestinian and Syrian cities to the two kings of Egypt who lived around 1400 BC, Amenhotep III and IV. They asked the Egyptians for help to repel a group of invading “HABIRU” people or HEBREWS. The name “Joshua” actually appears on one tablet.14. The use of the HORNET in conquering PalestineJosh. 24:12 “And I send the hornet before you, which drove them out before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword or bow”.While Moses was 40 years in Midian, a powerful Egyptian Pharaoh (Thutmose III) invaded Canaan, overcoming the defenses of the Amorites and other nations. He was really helping prepare the way for Israel’s conquest under Joshua by weakening those nations. Note: the personal coat of arms badge worn by Thutmose III himself was the HORNET.God may have had this in mind in Ex. 23:28 and Deut. 7:20.15. The invasion of Judah by Shishak, king of Egypt II Chron. 12:2-14“In the fifth tear of Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.. and took away the treasures..”.Shishak, founder of the 22nd dynasty. His gold-masked body was discovered at Tanis in 1938-39. His victory inscriptions found at Thebes list the towns taken in Judah and Israel.16. Ahab’s house of Ivory I Kings 22:39“Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did and the ivory house that he had made, and all the cities that he built...”.The ruins of this house were found in Samaria in 1908-10 by a Harvard University expediton. Its walls had been faced with ivory. There were thousands of pieces of the most exquisitely carved and inlaid panels, plaques, cabinets and couches.17. The punishment of King Jehu II Kings 10:29-33“But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart...” (10:31). “In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short...”(10:32).The Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser II found in 1845 by Layard in the palace at Nimrud showsa figure with marked Jewish features kneeling at the feet of the king and above it this inscription: “The tribute of Jehu, son(successor) of Omri, silver, gold, bowls of gold, chalices of gold, cups of gold, vases of gold, lead, sceptrefor the king and spear-shafts I have received”.18. King Uzziah of Judah’s LEPER HOUSE II Chron. 26“But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he trespassed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense”(26:16).“And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a (separate) house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord...”(26:21).In 1959 Professor Aharoni of Hebrew University discovered a Judean Palace two miles south of Jerusalem, on Rachel’s hill on the road to Bethlehem. It was 250 feet by 150 feet square, surrounded by a casemated wall like that of King Ahab in Samaria, andf had a triple gate in the style of Solomon’s day. Three sides of the courtyard were surrounded by buildings, two sides resdidential and the third for stores. There was no doubt about the occupant of this magnificent but lonely outpost. They had excavated the palace of Uzziah the leper.19. The historicity of Sargon (Isa. 20:1)“In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod (when Sargon, the king of Assyria, sent him), and fought against Ashdod, and took it” (Isa. 20:1).Until the advent of modern achaeology the name Sargon never appeared in ancient literature apart from references in Isaiah. Critics were, as usual, quick to point out another “historical blunder” in the Bible. But in 1843 their sneers suddenly disappeared, for archaeologist Paul Emil Botta excavated a huge palace at Khorsabad, on the northern edge of Nineveh. The building turned out to be the empire headquarters of Sargon himself. Other finds since this have confirmed that Sargon was one of the greatest (if not greatest) of all Assyrian kings. In one of his records we are told:“Azuri, King of Ashdod, had schemed not to deliver tribute any more... In a sudden rage I marched quickly in my state chariot and with my cavalry... against Ashdod... and I beseiged and conquered... Ashdod... and they bore my yoke”.20. Sennacherib’s failure to capture Jerusalem (2 Kings 18-19, 2 Chron. 32; Isa. 36-37).“Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it. By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord. For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake” (Isa. 37:33-35)“then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians and hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses” (37:36).Thus reads the biblical account of Sennacherib’s Judean invasion. The following is taken from Sennacherib’s own record of this time.“As to Hezekiah the Jew, he did not submit to my yoke. I laid siege to forty-six of his strong cities, walled forts and to countless small villages in the vicinity and conquered them by means of well- stamped earth ramps and battering rams brought thus near to the walls... Himself I made a prisoner in Jerusalem, his royal residence, like a bird in a cage.”21. The murder of Sennacherib by his own sons“So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped... and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead” (Isa. 37:37,38).Esar-haddon, his son and successor relates this very event in an inscription: “A firm determination fell upon my brothers. They forsook the gods and turned to their deeds of violence, plotting evil. To gain the kingship they slew Sennacherib their father.”22. Hezekiah’s Water Tunnel II Chron. 32:30“Hezekiah... made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city..” (2 Ki. 20:20).“This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David...” (2 Chron. 32:30).The most important source of water in ancient Jerusalem was the spring of Gihon situated just east of the temple area in the Kidron Valley. Accordingly, it was exposed to an attacking enemy. To counteract this, Hezekiah had constructed a great conduit leading from the Gihon spring outside the city to a special reservoir inside the city called the Pool of Siloam. This conduit, 1777 feet long and hewn out of solid rock, is one of the most amazing devices for water supply in all the biblical period. Workmen, employing hand picks, operating in zigzag fashion from opposite sides and finally meeting in the middle, excavated a conduit that averages six feet in height. The Pool of Siloam reservoir measures about thirty by twenty feet.Archaeologically the most interesting thing about Hezekiah’s tunnel is the six-line inscription in classical Hebrew beautifully cut at the wall of the conduit about nineteen feet from the Siloam and of the aqueduct. In 1180 two small Arab boys were playing in that area when one of them discovered it. The inscription reads:“The boring through is completed. Now this is the story of the boring through. While the workmen were still lifting pick to pick, each toward his neighbour, and while three cubits remained to be cut through, each heard the voice of the other..”The incription was subsequently chiseled out of the rock and taken by the Turkish government to the archaeological museum of Istanbul.24. The Capture of Babylon and the Execution of Belshazzar (Dan. 5)“In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the (lampstand) upon the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace...” (5:5).“... thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians” (5:28).“In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom...” (5:30,31).Koldeway, who excavated Babylon, says that the largest room he found in the palace was 55 ft by 169 ft long, and had plastered walls.Concerning the actual capture of the city, the Greek historian Herodotus tells us that the Babylonian armies at first moved north to challenge the advancing Persian troops, but were soon driven back behind the walls of Babylon. Cyrus then proceeded to divert the Euphrates River from its normal bed, under the walls of the city, channeling the waters to a near-by reservoir he had dug. Another Greek historian, Xenophon, states that entrance was made into the city at a time when the Babylonians were feasting at a drunken orgy.25. Daniel and the Lions’ Den (Dan. 6)Dan. 6:16 “Then the king commanded, and brought Daniel, and cast him into a den of lions”.This was a common method of execution in Babylon and Assyria.The excavator Diculafoy was working one day among the ruins of Babylon when he fell into what looked like a well. He was recued by his fellow workmen, and then it became their purpose to determine what the place was. On the curb was an inscription which said: “The Place of execution, where men who angered the king died torn by wild animals.”When the palace at Shushan was being excavated, a record was discovered that gave a list of 484 men of high rank who had died in a lion’s den. An inscription of the Assyrian kingAshurbanipal indicates that the same custom was common in his day. He records: “The rest of the people who had rebelled they threw alive among bulls and lions, as Sennacherib my grandfather used to do. Lo, again following his footsteps those men I threw into the midst of them.”26. Destruction of TYRE prophesied Ezek. 26:1-14Ezek. 26 contains six prophecies for Tyre that are fulfilled by archaeology and hostory.1. Nebuchadnezzar will destroy the mainland city of Tyre. 26:8Nebuchadnezzar laid seige to Tyre three years after the prophecy. After a thirteen year siege (585-573 BC), Nebuchadnezzar broke the gates down, and he found the city empty because most people had moved by ship to an island half a mile off the coast and fortified a city there.The mainland city was destroyed in 573 BC as foretold, but island Tyre remained.2. “I will cause MANY NATIONS TO COME AGAINST THEE” as waves(26:3)A succession of invaders came over many years, e.g. Nebuchadnezzar, Aalexander, Moslems, Crusaders, Moslems (1321 AD).3. “I will SCRAPE HER DUST from her... LIKE THE TOP OF A ROCK” 26:4. When island Tyre refused to submit to Alexander, he demolished the old city on the mainland, and with the debris scraped off like a rock, built a causeway sixty metres wide and half a mile long out to island Tyre, laid siege and destroyed the island (332 BC). The causeway still remains and old Tyre is flat as a rock.4. Fishermen will SPREAD NETS OVER THE SITE. 26:5Fishermen today dry their nets on the rocks of old mainland Tyre.5. Throw the city debris into the water. 26:12.When Alexanders’ engineers built the causeway they used the remains of old Tyre, laying the stones, timber and dust in the midst of the water.6. Never to be rebuilt. “Thou shalt be built no more”. 26:14Old Tyre has been bare as a rock for 2500 years, as God said, even though ten million gallons daily of fresh water supply the site, enough water for a city.27. Pre-Flood Clay SealsAnte-Diluvian Origin of Writing. Berosus related a tradition that Xisuthrus, the Babylonian Noah, buried the Sacred Writings before the Flood, on tablets of baked clay, at Sippar, and afterward dug them up. There was a tradition among Arabs and Jews that Enoch invented Writing, and left a number of books. An ancient Babylonian king recorded that “he loved to read the Writings of the age before the Flood”. Assurbanipal, founder of Nineveh’s great Library, referred to “inscriptions of the time before the Flood”.Ante-Diluvian BooksSome Pre-Flood inscriptions have been found. Figure 2 is a pictographic tablet found, by Dr. Langdon, at Kish, under the Flood deposit. Figure 3, seals found, by Dr. Schmidt, at Fara, under the Flood layer. Dr Woolley found Pre-Flood seals at Ur.Seals were the earliest form of writing, representing a person’s name, identifying ownership, serving as a signature on letters, contracts, receipts, and various kinds of writing. Each person had his own seal. Seals were carved by delicate saws or drills on small pieces of stone or metal. In use they were impressed on clay tablets, while the clay was yet soft.29. Jehoiachin and Eliakim verified from BabylonII Chronicles Chapter 36:8-10. Jehoiachin (Jeconiah), king of Judah, 597 BC.Reigned three months. (Told also in II Kings 24:6-17). He was taken to Babylon, where he lived at least at least 37 years (II Kings 24:15; 25:27).ARCHAEOLOGICAL NOTES: Jehoiachin, Seals of Jehoiachin’s Steward, At Kiriathsepher (1928), Hyle and Albright found, in the layer of ashes left by Nebuchadnezzar’s fire, two jar handles stamped, “Belonging to Eliakim Steward of Jehoiachin”. One of these is now in the Pittsburgh-Xenia Seminary. Same impression was found (1930) at Beth-shemesh, by Grant.Jehoiachin “Lifted Up”, and “Given an Allowance” (II Kings 25:27, 30). Albright has reported a discovery by Weidner, in the ruins of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, of tablets listing the names of those to whom regular allotments of oil and grain were made, among them, Jehoiachin king of the land of Judah”.30. Roman Mosaic of Dinosaurs, 2nd Century ADSydney Morning Herald, 21.11.83:“A report from the Soviet news agency, Tass, says that about 1500 tracks made by dinosaurs have been found in Turkmenia- but among those prints are those resembling the footprints of a man. According to Professor Amanniyazov, director of Turkmenia’s Institute of Geology:“If further analysis proves that the prints have been left by anthropoids, the history of mankind will be extended to 150 million, not five million years”.There is mounting evidence that man and dinosaurs did indeed live on earth at the same time.a. In Rhodesia, paintings on cave walls by bushmen known to have left the caves on 1500 BC include paintings of brontosaurs. According to the nature of their art, cavemen only painted from what they could actually see. Thus, they would have had to see a brontosaur in order to paint one.b. Evidence of these large reptiles has been found since the flood. Dinosaur footprints have been located in the same strata with human footprints in Glen Rose, Texas.Reprinted with permission from Pastor Keith Piper. Pastor Keith Piper BooksDean.
