My take on The MEGIDDO PRAYER HALL. 

This bronze nanny goat, created around 120–100 BC during the Hellenistic period, reflects the widespread cultural influence of Greek civilization following Alexander the Great’s conquests in the 4th century BC. After Alexander’s empire split, Judea came under the rule of the Seleucid dynasty, which sought to impose Greek culture and religion, culminating in significant tension with Jewish traditions. This era, marked by Hellenistic art and customs, directly connects to Daniel 8, where a goat symbolizes Greece’s rise and dominance over the Medo-Persian Empire.

This artwork, photographed during a visit to the Bible Museum, captures a scene from ancient Egypt depicting Semitic people (likely from Canaan) bringing goods as part of their trade or tribute with Egypt.

The figures are dressed in distinctively patterned, colorful garments with intricate geometric designs and elaborate hairstyles, highlighting the cultural uniqueness of people from the Levant region. This image illustrates the long-standing relationship between Egypt and its neighbors, showcasing the flow of goods, customs, and influences between these civilizations. The hieroglyphs and symbols beneath the figures may provide additional context about the nature of this exchange, further emphasizing the depth of historical ties captured in this remarkable artwork.
