Scripture for today, 6-13-22: Tigris River Dries UP Revealing Ancient City from Mesopotamia6/13/2022 Tigris River Dries Up: Iraqi Drought Reveals Stunning 3,400-Year-Old City |
Drought in Iraq Reveals 3400-Year-Old City 6-5-22, SmithsonianMag -- Iraq is battling its worst drought in decades. There are many communities depending on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to survive. In January 2022 authorities drained part of the Mosul Dam reservoir in the country’s Kurdistan region to keep crops from drying out. Out of that drained area, the ancient city of Mittani Empire (also spelled Mitanni Empire) built 3,400 years ago emerged. Archaeologists successfully mapped what they believe to have been the major city. It's believed the original city’s destruction occurred in an earthquake around 1350 B.C. | Drought is expected to continue to plague the region. That will be a disaster for locals—and could present other opportunities for archaeologists. There’s likely plenty left to discover: As Qasim told the Art Newspaper’s Hadani Ditmars, “There are more than 100 underwater sites in the Eastern Tigris area” alone. *** Again archeology confirms and validates God's Word; His Holy Bible: Mesopotamia mentioned 7 times in scripture: Genesis 24;10; Deuteronomy 23:4; Judges 3:8, 10; 1 Chronicles 19:6; Acts 2:9, 7:2; Revelation 16:1, 12 | Patrick Pester of Live Science reports that parts of the city first arose from the depths during a major drought in 2018, [See also Smithsonian] Researchers were able to explore a lost palace with massive, 22-foot-high walls, some six feet thick, and discovered “remains of wall paintings in vibrant shades of red and blue.” The Mittani Empire, lasted from roughly 1500 to 1350 B.C. One of a number of kingdoms and states founded by the Indo-Iranians [Persians] in Mesopotamia and Syria, at its peak the empire spanned just over 600 miles, extending from the Zagros Mountains to the Mediterranean Sea. |
Isaiah 19:5-7
"The waters from the sea will dry up,
And the river will be parched and dry.
The canals will emit a stench,
The streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up;
The reeds and rushes will rot away.
The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile
And all the sown fields by the Nile
Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more."
Revelation 16:12
"The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates;
and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east."
