Agreed. :)

And I’m tired of every single thread on this kind of topic devolving into this same BC/BCE argument, and completely eclipsing discussion of the topic, which is often something significant and cool like it is here.

I wish they had shown more pictures of the palace dig. The aerial view doesn’t give a feel for the scale of the site.

The upending of certain historians, and I hesitate to use the title, who insist that the Bible is myth is always a joy. Archaeologists who have no problem identifying some gold draped corpse buried in an English field as Saxon King so and so, or a Danish Earl mentioned in the Chronicle, bridle at the idea Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David, Solomon, or even Jesus (who is mentioned by the Judeo-Roman historian Josephus) were living and breathing people whose deeds were recorded. The Bible reads like history because it is history.
