Lachish Ideas about Pictures

 

Image 1:

"I can see a man who is transporting a sack and then three soldiers who are maybe torturing two slaves."

"In this picture I can see four people, they are holding two people by their feet. On the left there is another man near two children."

"In this picture we believe that there are two dead people and the bodies of those who died in the war are being dragged.  There are also some children that are following the family."

"In the first image we can see a lot of soldiers holding two enemies that are probably dead and there’s a big man that I think that could be, maybe, the king or the most important soldier."

Image 2:

"This relief is really damaged, the only thing I can see is a soldier stabbing a man with a knife"

There are 4 soldiers that are punishing two slaves and they are killing them.

"They’re burying some people in some mass graves."

"In the second image we can see three people who are doing something, they are probably pulling each other"

Image 3:

In this photo we can see several people walking towards a person sitting on a high chair, while other people are kneeling to pray

They are probably slaves or servants that are carrying some gifts to the King, who is sitting on the throne.

They’re honoring the king. At the back we can see some slaves. We can also see some warriors with  shields and spears.

In the third picture, we can see people praying and other people who are bringing gifts to the king. They look like soldiers. Behind the king there are other people, maybe they are clergy. The king is holding in his hand a kind of parchment. In the image we can also notice palm trees, as decorations.

Image 4:

In this photo we can see two people walking with a bow

A group of soldiers attacking with spears in a war

They are attacking somebody

In the fourth picture we can see two soldiers that are probably in a war and they are holding shields and  spears.

Image 5:

In this picture we can see 2 people wearing a weird kind of hat, with long beards. Maybe they're holding a sort of whip, probably used for slaves, or maybe they are slingers with their slings and stones at war. We can also hardly see 4 other people, in total 6, marching to the right, so they are probably on a battlefield with an army.

A procession around the city where people are lifting up sacred objects in honour of a god.

They are marching with weapons in their hands.

Image 6:

In this picture i see some bowmen that are taking aim, maybe to hit their opponents.

In this picture I can see two men. I think they are at war, because they are wearing armour. They are shooting arrows with their bows.

There are two warriors that are holding bows.

In the sixth picture we can see some soldiers who have bows and arrows, maybe they are attacking some city or defending somebody

Image 7:

Here I can see some soldiers that are impaling their dead enemies, maybe after they have won a battle.

There are some soldiers that are pulling a stick commected to the arms of three dead bodies that are hanging on three different poles. The dead people were probably prisoners from the war that took place in Lachish.

They are put on the spot?

In the seventh image, we can see 2 soldiers impaling 3 enemies.
