Kuntillet Ajrud
Kuntillet Ajrud is an archaeological site in north-eastern Sinai, a small way station of around 800 BCE on a desert route between Gaza and the Gulf of Aqaba. Its plastered walls and storage jars carry Hebrew and Phoenician inscriptions, including blessings by Yahweh of Samaria and his Asherah and Yahweh of Teman and his Asherah. The finds point to links with the northern Kingdom of Israel and show Yahweh paired with a goddess.
