Judahites in Assyrian Art: Power, Identity, and War

📍 Filmed live during a Biblical tour at the British Museum One of the most powerful—and disturbing—images in the Lachish reliefs is the depiction of decapitated Judahite heads, carved by the Assyrian Empire as part of its visual propaganda. During the tour, someone asked: “Why does this look so stereotypical—were Judahites really depicted differently?” This short video answers that question. We explore: – How ethnic groups were depicted differently in Assyrian art – How empires used multi-ethnic units in their armies – And how these images reflect power, not just history, but messaging.
