Something tells me this story has some holes in it.

THIS is older than Helen Thonas?!?

That is one well preserved Door!

[gleeaikin]

Do you think maybe the archeologists put it there so one could compare size. Sheesh!!

[a fool in paradise]

Hell has gates that are older than that.

Gee, never thought of that.

If Jimbo had knocked on the door, I’d never have let him in. He’s a scary-lookin’ set of eyes.

Finally, someone who can fix that squeak . . .

That’s the most important find — a 5000 year old can of WDXL.

Strange, isn’t it, doors and cockroaches will out live us all.

But were they able to unlock it or did they have to break it down?

Some doors are just better left closed.

I read about this door and was really frustrated that the article comments on the “remarkable” design holding the boards together.
Nothing further is said as to what is so d**n remarkable about the design!!

I guess maybe we’ll find out 6 months from now.
Maybe never, maybe we’ll have to pay $50 for a book explaining how remarkable this door really is!

If it’s really 5000 years old (which I very much doubt, btw), it must have been built with copper, or without any metal at all. :’)
