Drawing found in Sinai could change what we know about Judaism

A 3,000-year-old drawing found in North Sinai may change what the world knows about the history of Judaism, Haaretz reports. The possible depiction of King Yoash of the kingdom of Judah was unearthed at the Kuntillet Ajrud archaeological site near the Israeli border and could be “the only contemporary visual description we have of a king from biblical times,” writes Nir Hasson. The controversial picture shows a crowned couple holding hands with the blessing "Yahweh and his Asherah" written above them. “Could the couple on the pithos be a rendering of God and his wife Asherah, the only one ever found?”
