Temptation Seal Assur-banipal, king of Babylon (c. 1364-1368 BC), recorded that he "loved to read the writings of the age before the Flood." He referred to "inscriptions of the time before the Flood.".... Each person had their own seal. Seals were carved by delicate saws or drills on small pieces of stone or metal. In use they were impressed on clay tablets, while the clay was yet soft. The people of the antediluvian age were not ignorant cavemen, their seals and writings have been found under the Flood layer in Ur (modern Kuwait) ie., the "Temptation Seal" was found near Babylon, portraying in pictures exactly what Genesis says in words. It shows a tree, on the left side a man, the right side a woman plucking fruit, and behind her a serpent.
