The Taylor Prism
The Taylor Prism. In 1830, Col. Robert Taylor, British Consul General in Baghdad, discovered this six-sided clay prism in the ruins of Assyrian King Sennacherib’s palace in Nineveh. This prism gives a parallel account of the events narrated in 2Kg 18:13-19:37. The perspectives of the Bible’s account and that of the prism are different. The prism doesn’t mention the fact that Sennacherib was unable to take Jerusalem.
