Washington, April 7: The discovery of a likely ancient local administrative center near the Old City of Jerusalem has fuelled speculations among archaeologists that Assyrian rulers may have been the first to devise corporate strategies.
The finding was made at Ramat Rachel, an archaeological dig two miles from the Old City of Jerusalem.
Until now, archaeologists believed the site was a palace of an ancient Judean king, probably King Hezekiah, who built it around 700 BCE.
But, according to Dr. Oded Lipschits, from Tel Aviv University’s Department of Archaeology, the evidence points to foreign rule.
