## Image Caption

This is the beginning of a [cuneiform](https://www.worldhistory.org/cuneiform/) inscription, which was carved on the pair of human-headed and winged bulls flanking the main entrance to the throne room of King [Sennacherib](https://www.worldhistory.org/sennacherib/). This inscription is from the area under the stomach of the bull (lamassu). It includes the most detailed surviving account on the tribute sent by Hezekiah, King of Juda, after the Assyrian military campaign to [Palestine](https://www.worldhistory.org/palestine/) in 701 BCE. From Courtyard H, door "a", the South-West [Palace](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/palace/) at [Nineveh](https://www.worldhistory.org/nineveh/), Northern [Mesopotamia](https://www.worldhistory.org/Mesopotamia/), modern-day Iraq.
