Inscription boasting of King Sennacherib’s victory over King Hezekiah of Judah. Nineveh, Iraq, Neo-Assyrian Empire, 691 BC [3900×3900]

[Museum](https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/foundation-record-bearing-a-victory-inscription-by-king-sennacherib-of-assyria-unknown/SAE0EutMxBURWg). In this inscription, King Sennacherib of Assyria boasts of several military campaigns, among these the war against Judah:

“And Hezekiah, King of Judah, who did not submit to my yoke, I laid siege to 46 of his strong cities, walled forts, and to the countless small villages in their vicinity . . . I besieged them and conquered them.” He describes the booty he seized and the numbers of captives he took – more than 200,000. Of the siege on King Hezekiah in Jerusalem he writes, “I made him a prisoner, like a bird in a cage.” Though Jerusalem was not destroyed, Hezekiah was forced to resume paying heavy tribute to Assyria.

Did they store these by putting them in poles?

I am guessing because of the shape

That’s from the 5th Element!!!
