Institute The 9th/8th century ashlar inserts and wall appear to have been destroyed sometime during the 8th century B.C. Several lines of evidence suggest that the agent of destruction was an earthquake. Evidence for an 8th century B.C. earthquake has been discovered at several other sites, such as Hazor. Different sections indicate construction by at least the 10th century, and probably as early as the 13th century B.C. The divergent dates for different sections of the Outer Wall are undoubtedly due to the fact that the wall had a long and complex history. www.andrews.edu /ARCHAEOLOGY/institute/fieldwork/prelims/Gezer_1990.htm   (5568 words)

Celtic art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the 7th and 8th centuries Irish Celtic missionaries traveled to Northumbria in Britain and brought with them the Irish tradition of manuscript illumination, which came in to contact with Anglo-Saxon metalworking knowledge and motifs. In the 9th and 10th century plain silver became a popular medium in Anglo-Saxon England, probably because of the increased amount in circulation due to Viking trading and raiding, and it was during this time a number of magnificent silver brooches were created in Ireland. In the late 17th century the work of scholars such as Edward Lhuyd brought academic attention to the historic links between Gaulish and the Brythonic- and Goidelic-speaking peoples, from which point the term was applied not just to continental Celts but those in Britain and Ireland. www.vacilando.org /_cliextra/baghdadmuseumorg/includepage.php?title=Celtic_art&action=history   (1626 words)

8TH Century Prophets, Caring for Nobodies As the question of the prophets of the eighth century and their concern for the people (especially the nobodies) that everybody except God had forgotten is considered, it is hoped that an awareness of the both the covenantal and ethical problems present at the time will be highlighted.
