A mark of power! Tiny 2,700-year-old royal seal of Judah's 'greatest king' Hezekiah found in ancient rubbish dump in Jerusalem

A 2,700-year-old royal seal bearing the mark of the biblical King Hezekiah has been unearthed in Jerusalem.

The tiny oval piece of clay bears the impression of a sun with two wings turned downward, flanked by two ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that symbolise 'life'.

King Hezekiah's rule was responsible for the rise in power of the Kingdom of Judah and an inscription into the bulla reads 'Belonging to Hezekiah (son of) Ahaz king of Judah'.

The private royal seal, or bulla, belonging to the biblical King Hezekiah (pictured) who ruled the Kingdom of Judah around 2,700 years ago, has been discovered during an excavation of an ancient rubbish dump in Jerusalem. The seal (pictured), which is thought to have been used to seal a document, bears the king's name

It is thought to have originally sealed a document written on papyrus which had been rolled and tied with thin cords, the marks of which can still be seen on the back of the sea

MARYSVILLE, Wash. (KING) - It was not just another day for Gladys Pennington.

She celebrated her 110th birthday last Thursday surrounded by her family and friends.

Pennington was born in Deerpark, outside of Spokane, in 1914 and was one of four children.

Not all of Pennington’s 110 years of life have been easy.

“They were raised in the orphanage for 15 years,” her daughter, Janice Schroeder, said.

The tough times, however, gave Pennington a healthy perspective on life.

“She’s a very strong lady,” Schroeder said. “She has a mind of her own.”

Pennington celebrated her birthday at her assisted living facility with several of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

“She was alive during World War I, World War II,” her 11-year-old great-grandson Hezekiah said. “The year she was born, bread cost 5 cents. Milk cost 8 cents.”

What’s her secret for such a big birthday? Her family said, for her, it’s the little things.

Pennington celebrated her milestone with a little birthday cake too.

“One hundred-ten? It doesn’t matter what you eat, enjoy it!” Schroeder said.
