Too many horns in the Temple of the God Hadad of Aleppo at the time of the Ebla archives!

Among the deliveries registered in the annual accounts of metals of the Ebla principal archive there are quantities of silver and gold used for the circular decoration of the horns of bulls or oxen offered to some deities, especially to the god adad of the city of Aleppo. It was considered by some scholars that the horns had been part of the regular offerings to the god Hadad of Aleppo and served as decoration of the temple. The author proposes that the gift to the god consisted in the animals with decorated horns not in their horns. An example from the Odissey confirms this interpretation.
