Amarna Letters - Musicians Blindfolded

This relief is from Tell el Amarna and depicts musicians blindfolded. It is from the 14th century B.C. (Israel Museum)

The Amarna letters belong to the royal archives of Amenophis III and his son Amenophis IV. The Amarna Letters are highly important because they refer to events in the 15th and 14th centuries B.C. They provide the first evidence of the Hebrew tribes entering into the land of Canaan in ancient times.
