Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser
● About the middle of the nineteenth century the archaeologist A. H. Layard found a monument called “The Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser” south of Nineveh. One of its panels shows the Israelite king Jehu or his envoy bowing before King Shalmaneser III. This archaeological find is in the British Museum.
