“Howzit that an article repeatedly cites “The Bible”, uses BCE and CE vs. BC and AD? Because they are jerks.”

Yeah, Joooos are evil jerks for refusing to eat pork and worship idols, too.

They need to pray to Mary and the rest, too.

The City of David is an incredible site. The Israelis did a wonderful job opening it up to tourism in the heart of Shiloa/Silwan.

I look forward to visiting the First Temple dig.

As far as Pali/Muslim claims, there is no reasoning with crazed, irrational conspiracy theorists who believe the Mossad is employing sharks to attack them and causing their sexual organs to disappear.

There is a reason Muslim countries are so poor and intellectually bereft.

Palestinians, to deny Solomon’s Temple, must be ignorant of their own sacred texts.

Who gives a fig to refute these ignorant troglodytes’ bald assertions.

But I want to see what the First Temple era looked like.

Probably because the source is Jewish, and “The Bible” was written by Hebrews.

Glad to know flaglday47 considers the original People of the Book to be jerks.

It was either post some pics, or this:

Thanks dervish. Yes, as a matter of fact, I am a little jealous. :’)

If I get fit and healthy, so that I can shovel stuff all day in the heat, I’d like to do one of those archaeological tourism gigs, where one pays for the privilege of backbreaking labor for some archaeologist, on the off chance that one will be on hand to make a discovery.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Jewbacca.

Thanks Eleutheria5.

That would be fun. Maybe when I retire, that is if I retire. :-))
