BUMP-I think these finds are just so awesome !
Archeologists, after years of excavations in Israel, claim they have never found a single shard of physical evidence that Abraham, Moses, Saul, David or Solomon once existed. However, the Old Testament is an ancient archeological record with huge credibility, and I do believe the record. There have been asserted fraudulent claims about some recent finds (the ossuary of James, for example), but the record stands. I read Biblical Archeology as a way to keep up with progress in the effort to find more ancient evidences.
