The procedure for building the temple—decision of the king, confirmation by god, securing materials and labour, planning the building, inauguration and the king's prayer, all followed in 1 Kings 5-8—is that commonly attested in Mesopotamia from Gudea of Lacash on. Evidence shows that ancient Shahdad had a large metalworking industry by this time. Ancient mesopotamian materials and industries: the archaeological evidence. Now, breakthrough research led by Field Museum curator Dr. He states, “Until the excavation at Tel Haror, archaeologists had only indirect evidence for the use of bits. €Invention as a celebration of materials,” in Chora 3: Intervals in the philosophy of architecture. €The textile industry in Northern Syria during the Iron age according to the evidence of the Tell Afis excavations,” in Essays on Syria in the Iron Age. This is a different material culture from that in the north, and the origins of the Nagada culture are probably to be found among indigenous hunter-gatherers and fishermen living along the Nile. In 2010, my good friend Nick Wright completed his PhD, “Religion in Seleukid Syria: gods at the crossroads (301-64 BC)”, at the Department of Ancient History, Macquarie University. I am a former member of the Historic Monuments Council and The Joint Committee for Industrial Heritage. Charles Stanish, director of UCLA's Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, and Abigail Levine, a UCLA graduate student in anthropology, used archaeological evidence from the basin, home to a number of thriving and complex early societies buildings, widespread religions and regional political systems — or basically characteristics associated with ancient states or what is colloquially known as 'civilization,'" said Stanish, who is also a professor of anthropology at UCLA. Press Release issued Mar 19, 2012: Archaeologists led by Professor Eliezer Oren from Ben Gurion University excavated an equid burial at Tel-Haror, an archaeological site located in the Levant with strata dating to the The Vulture Stele, dating to the Early Dynastic III period (2,600-2,350 B.C.) in Mesopotamia, portrays an equid pulling a chariot-like vehicle. The Downey monograph, although dealing with comparable evidence, concentrates on the neighbouring region of Mesopotamia and there is no overlap in material. During a recent survey, a new generation of archaeologists found a vast hill—nearly 300 feet by 300 feet—covered with slag from smelting copper. Yet, biblicist archaeologists, who would be struck off the register if they were doctors, have doctored so much archaeological evidence that religious punters today think Solomon is a well established historical figure. Jonathan Haas is providing new resolution to the issue by looking at microscopic evidence found in soil, on stone tools, and in coprolites from ancient sites and dated “This new body of evidence demonstrates quite clearly that the very earliest emergence of civilization in South America was indeed based on agriculture as in the other great civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China,” said Haas.
