The ghost of Assyrian king Nebuchadnezzar (642-562 BC) would have probably gleefully approved of the recent first-ever direct projectile study on his reign. However, instead of military conquests, archaeologists are focusing on a different kind of investigation - archaeomagnetism. This cutting-edge technique involves measuring the magnetic fields found in ancient structures to determine their construction dates and shed light on historical mysteries.
Measurements of magnetism in the stones showed that the magnetic field strengthened quickly and intensely when the bricks were made. The stamps left by Nebuchadnezzar's builders provide crucial clues for understanding the timeline of his reign and the construction of iconic structures like the Ishtar Gate in Babylon.
Archaeologists measured the magnetic fields found in clay bricks to determine the construction date of Babylon's Ishtar Gate. This groundbreaking research has the potential to rewrite the history books and provide a deeper understanding of Nebuchadnezzar's rule.
Ancient bricks inscribed with the names of Mesopotamian kings have yielded important insights into a mysterious anomaly in Earth's magnetic field. By analyzing these artifacts, researchers are able to pinpoint the timeline of Nebuchadnezzar's reign and gain a better understanding of the historical context in which he ruled.
