[Avodah] Chizkiyahu's Seal

[Micha Berger via Avodah]

It seems that among the trash found around the Ir David dig, they
found an actual seal of Chizqiyahu haMeleh. Something actually touched
by someone named in Tanakh is an amazing concept, ever meant someone
so prominent.

See http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/204294
The video there is pretty cheesy. You can hear in the production quality
it's a missionary group's presentation. But I guess it's all A7 found
in English. In Hebrew, there is https://youtu.be/1jkD1k3viBA .

Lechizqiyahu [ben] Achaz Melekh Yehudah (spelled Yhdh, no vav).

Now to figure out why someone known for stamping out AZ had on his
seal a two-winged sun with by ankh symbols on each side. The ankh
is a life symbol, but it is also found in pictures of Egyptian
deities including pharoahs.

Tir'u baTov!
