Museum-Quality 3D Reconstruction of the 2025 Jerusalem Discovery

This highly detailed 3D model recreates the groundbreaking Assyrian cuneiform bulla discovered in October 2025 near Jerusalem's Temple Mount—the first Assyrian inscription from the First Temple period ever found in the holy city. This tiny but historically monumental artifact provides physical evidence of official correspondence between the Assyrian Empire and the Kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Hezekiah (late 8th-7th century BCE).

Historical Significance:

First of its kind: The only Assyrian cuneiform inscription from First Temple Jerusalem

Biblical connection: Directly relates to the confrontation between King Hezekiah and Assyrian King Sennacherib described in 2 Kings 18-19

Scientific authentication: Petrographic analysis confirmed the clay originated from the Tigris Basin in Mesopotamia

Diplomatic evidence: The inscription mentions a delay in tribute payment and references an Assyrian royal official (holder of the reins)

Model Details:

Dimensions: Based on actual artifact (approximately 2.5 cm / 1 inch)

Polygons: High-resolution mesh suitable for close-up rendering

Textures: PBR materials with authentic clay surfaces, weathering, and aged patina

Formats: OBJ, FBX, STL (3D printable)

UV unwrapped and properly mapped
