"The discovery is likely to be a new salvo in a major dispute in biblical archaeology: whether the kingdom of David was of some historical magnitude, or whether the kings were more like small tribal chieftains, reigning over another dusty hilltop."

Really??? Got a list? ...........How about a short list, then? And please don't give us any Eduoard Said claptrap.
