Hazor is the largest biblical-era site in Israel and a UNESCO Heritage Site.
In a historic find, a large limestone fragment of an Egyptian statue depicting an ancient official’s feet, was discovered at Tel-Hazor, north of the Sea of Galilee, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem announced on Monday.
Only the lower part of the statue, measuring 45cm. by 40cm. survived, representing the crouching feet of a male figure, seated on a square base, on which a few lines in the Egyptian hieroglyphic script are inscribed.
The finding – coupled with a sphinx fragment of the Egyptian king Mycerinus (who ruled Egypt in the 25th century BCE), discovered at the site by the research team three years ago – are the only monumental Egyptian statues found so far in second millennium contexts in the entire Levant.
The discovery of these two statues in the same building currently being excavated by the research team indicates the special importance of the building, which was likely the administrative palace of the ruler of the city, as well as that of the entire city of Hazor.
