897

I thought "897" would be a great place to start with this blog. I chose this template off the website and that number came with the screen! Sooo, I decided to try to find some significance so that I could feel at ease. Here is what Gooogle and I came up with (of course the following may or may NOT be true-I just copied and pasted):


-Pennsylvania Route 897 is a 41 mile long north-south route in eastern Pennsylvania, United States.

-United Auto Workers Local 897 located in Buffalo NY that has 1400 active members that work for Ford Motor Company.

-The last Pallava ruler surrendered to the Chola king Aditya in 897 AD after he was attacked by the Pandyas and Cholas together.

-The most important dynasty, founded in 897 AD by Yayha bin Husayn bin Qasim ar-Rassi, were the Zaydis of Sa'da.

-897 BC – Jehoshaphat visits Ahab of Israel, attacks Ramoth Gilead with him, and is reproved by the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, for befriending the enemies of God but is praised for his devotion to God, Ahab dies in battle as prophesied by the prophet Micaiah

-897 BC – Moab, Ammon and Edom join forces to attack Judah, Jehoshaphat appeals to God and is miraculously saved

-We could assume therefore that Horemheb ruled the country for several years before assuming pharaonic status. If he became pharaoh in 897 B.C., or perhaps a few years earlier, then we hazzard a guess that this "protectorate" might have begun as early as 905 B.C.

-H. R. 897 Title: To require the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Interior, and the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development to provide to Congress copies and descriptions of contracts and task orders in excess of $5,000,000 for work to be performed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
