I will take your word for it, because I don't know enough about the subject matter of the old or new testaments. My Bible school training ended 52 years ago when I was 12 years. I do think the hand is rather cool, and it would certainly be interesting if the true purpose of the hand could proven, yet I don't believe it ever will be. But, if I had to speculate I believe that it be a identifying mark that was designed to identify the individual who was responsible for building the fortification.

The 'hand of Fatima' has nothing to do with the Old or New Testament. Its a muslim superstituous thing for protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred_mc Posted January 27, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Person #1: Why are you making an imprint of your hand there? Person #2: I just thought it was fun. Person #1: I'm sure that will confuse people 1000 years into the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, no. You don't need to go to the Middle East to know about Muslims. There are several hundreds of thousands living here in the Netherlands. But I am also interested in Sufism, and so I read a lot about Islam and related things. Edited to add: I once got a necklace from a Moroccan woman I was in love with. She was married so that was somewhat of a problem, but one time she went to Morocco on a holiday, and bought this 'hand of Fatima' for me.

+DieChecker Posted January 27, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Id guess it was some kind of marker. Where if someone was in the moat, and found it, they would know which way to go to find one of the friendly entrances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torviking Posted January 29, 2023 #12 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Looks more like some sort of ape footprint rather than a human hand, mainly due to the lack of a thumb and the elongated “fingers” ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small protuberance where the thumb should be is a little small in my opinion to actually be a thumb.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted January 29, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 29, 2023 What could this represent? Back of the right hand (of the person who impressed it) Palm of the left hand (of the person who impressed it) Halt! Stop! or the Red Hand of Ulster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
