In doing a study of Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzar, King Ur-Nammu, and the Fertile Crescent I ran across this photo of an artifact called the "Hash-hamer Cylinder seal of Ur-Nammu" in the British Museum. In this photo is a crescent moon. Archaeologists determine King Ur-Nammu reigned sometime in the early years of 2000 BC to 2110 BC but of course Islam did not hit the world until the mid 600's AD when Muhammund invented his story. The crescent moon did not become a part of Islamic symbols until the Ottoman reign. The symbol of the crescent moon has been around and involved in pagan rites and rituals way before Islam. In fact I read that many Muslims denounce the crescent moon because of it's ties in history to paganism. We know that Abraham left the land of Ur because of God calling him out to set him and his people apart. Apart from paganism? Apart from the evilness of men? Apart from the plans of the devil? Apart from the Fertile Crescent and it's seeming ties to occult devil worship and practices? I also had to ponder the location, the lands and this crescent shaped form of land. I am a firm believer that God shows us signs and wonders still today. So for me to question this is not out of the ordinary. Do you think this crescent moon in the cylinder of King Ur-Nammu is God's way of telling us to beware of false religions? If so, it would seem He has been warning us for over 4,000 years. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Ancient Stone Structure Located Beneath the Sea of Galilee By: Marshall Ramsey II, Worthy News U.S. Correspondent SEA OF GALILEE, Israel - An ancient stone structure has been found in the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. It rises almost 32 feet (10 m) high, has a circumference of about 230 feet (70 m), and weighs an estimated 60,000 tons. As a comparison, Stonehenge is only half as big around, the tallest stones don't reach as high, and the structure weighs more than most modern-day battleships.(1) It was first detected during a sonar survey of the southwestern portion of the Sea of Galilee in 2003.(1) Yitzhak Paz of the Israeli Antiquities Authority and Ben-Gurion University believes the structure could date back more than 4,000 years. "The more logical possibility is that it belongs to the third millennium B.C., because there are other megalithic phenomena [from that time] that are close by," he said in an interview with LiveScience.(2) Paz also said that the structure indicates that those who made it were a "well-organized society, with planning skills and economic ability."

Ancient Building found at Tell Khaiber near Ur, Iraq By: Marshall Ramsey II, Worthy News U.S. Correspondent UR, Iraq (Worthy News) - A rather unusual find was uncovered today, April 5, 2013 in Iraq. Professor Stuart Campbell of Manchester (UK) University's Archaeology Department found the remains of a "sprawling complex" near the ancient city of Ur along the Euphrates river in southern Iraq. Ur is the birthplace of the Jewish patriarch Abraham.(1) The site of the dig, Tell Khaiber, means "mound of Eber." What is interesting about this building is that it belonged to Eber, the father of all Hebrews. Eber, or Heber, is the 4x-great grandfather of Abraham, the father of Isaac and grandfather of Jacob, who changed his name to Israel. Eber is also the great grandson of Shem, the son of Noah, from whom we get the name Sumeria, which means "land of Shem's light." The genealogical and historical information in the Bible has long been disputed, with some even questioning whether or not it was all fake. It is a known fact that the Assyrians (named after Asshur, a descendant of Shem) put the letters 'Gh' and 'Kh' in front of names that sounded like they began with vowels. Thus, Eber became Gheber or Kheber, or, as it is in this case, Khaiber.
