Amarna Tablet (resin recreation). About 2 5/8 inches by 2 1/8 inches. In 1887 a peasant woman digging for fertilizer found these tablets in the ruins of Tell El-Amarna. The Tell El-Amarna tablets date to the 18th dynasty of Egypt, mainly during the reign of Akhenaton. These tablets consist of correspondence between the Pharaoh of Egypt and the kings of the cities of Jerusalem, Gezer, Lachish, Jarmuth and Eglon. They are written in Akkadian. In some of these letters, there are complaints and requests for protection from invading Hapiru, who some equate with the Hebrews (Hapiru=Hebrew??).
