My Arabic is nonexistent except for some swear words:-), but it's just another Semitic language: in Hebrew, it's Migdal Shemesh. That's how I know.
BTW, any thought on the dating ( use of numbers)? And, interestingly, the first shibriyya has an engraving of an eagle with down-turned wings: eery reminiscence of the Egyptian flag. |
