PALENQUE: (Mayan) inscription
See UHN: p. 318: Palenque stairs inscription.
The great Pacal began his rule in 612 A.D. when he was 12 years old. But it takes some 40 years in battles to consolidate his empire before he begins building several large great temples at this site, including the palace, his burial temple and another large temple near it. Since he is not in the direct line of rulership (no chemical analysis has been done on his bones; in fact, authorities at one point attempted to remove his bones and were thwarted by locals), he invents his connections to the gods and the reasons for his power. When he dies in 684 his origin is directly connected to the gods. In huge murals on the Temple of the Cross, built by his son, Kam Balam, Pacal and the Smoking God (or god L) are depicted blessing Kam Balam as he begins his own rulership. He built several more temples, and in a mural on the Temple of the Foliated Cross, Kam Balam is receiving corn from the maize god.

(051298) Lucia Birnbaum
— “Rock art, the dark mother, and African origins of world religions” Author
of Black Madonnas, Lucia traces the signs, icons and images of the dark mother
out of Africa to the Sinai and into Europe and Asia. Focusing on the case
of Har Karkom in the Sinai, Lucia will explore the origins of world religions
in the dark ochre of cave paintings of Africa 900,000 years ago, to the incised
megaliths leading to the Mountain of God 40,000 B.C. E. in the Sinai (west
Asia) where Africans migrated, to figurines of the dark mother found all along
paths of African migrations into Spain, France, Italy, central and eastern
Europe, icons dated ca. 26,000 B.C.E. to the triangular pubic shaped ochre
red divinities painted on the walls of Cava dei Genovesi in the Egani Islands
dated 15,000 B.C.E., veneration of Isis at Philae in Africa, to black madonnas
and other dark women divinities of the common era. Slides, lecture and movement.

Discovered at TEUZOI.
See BAHISTUN, HIBEH, OPPERT, RYLANDS, SPIEGELBERG.
http://www.kent.net/DisplacedDynasties/Petition_of_Petesi.htm
In the words of the editor F. Ll. Griffith "by far the most important of the papyri from El Hibeh is the great roll of the Petition or memorial of Peteesi, nearly 4 1/4 metres or 14 feet in length, and closely written over the whole of the recto and five-sixths of the verso." There are four principal divisions of this lengthy document. Three are of interest.
The first five columns describe the harsh treatment afforded a certain priest Petesi in the years immediately following the 9th year of Darius [II?]. Griffith summarizes their content as:
Events of the 9th and
following years of Darius, viz. Peteesi's unwilling evidence on the causes
of the ruin of Teuzoi, his sufferings
and imprisonment, followed by a murderous attack on him by the priests: his
petition to the "Governor"
or satrap (?) for protection, the revengeful burning of his house, the end
being his return to Teuzoi, after more than a year's absence, under a guarantee
of safety and protection, but without compensation for the injuries done to
him or any attention to the rights which he claimed through his ancestors
in the temple of Teuzoi.

A number of [carbonized] texts of potentially major significance have been uncovered [by ACOR] at Petra following two months of excavations in areas immediately adjacent to the Byzantine church.
http://www.atrium-media.com/goldenthreads/petrapapyri.html
In December 1993 a great number of carbonized papyrus rolls were found during the excavations of a Byzantine church in Petra, Jordan. The find contained dozens of legal and financial documents of a local family, written in Greek during the sixth century AD. The rolls were opened and conserved by a Finnish team directed by Professor Jaakko Frösén. The papyri are being edited by a group of over a dozen scholars from the Universities of Helsinki and Michigan. The first volume (Petra Papyri Volume I, edited by J. Frösén and A. Arjava) will be published in 2001/2.
