I'll be more interesting if they find a giant's skull with a fractured forehead.

I've always wondered if the Phillistines could have been refugees from the fighting at Troy. Trojans would have been Indo-European with an Aegean origin and could easily have migrated down the coast.

Archeology continues to find clues and proofs that ancient legends and stories are based on factual events whose memories were passed down from generation to generation.

Very cool. Amazing; isn't it, how archeology keeps finding evidence that the Bible is true rather than the other way around.

the inscription found on the sherd, dating to the 10th or early 9th century BCE, contains two non-Semitic names: Alwt and Wlt.

That is supposed to convince skeptics that a giant named Goliath actually existed and that a boy named David pegged him in the head with a rock?

I had heard that the 'giants' of Bible lore are being equated to dinosaur bone-fossils.

"It is assumed by most scholars that the Philistines migrated to the Levant from somewhere in the Aegean region."

I thought it was established that they were from Mycenae?

If they unearth a skeletal hand with six fingers or a foot with six toes, I'd say they found Goliath.

Where's the beef bones?

I HATE headline writers!

Goliath has NOT been found; possible mention of a cognate of the name "Goliath" was found.

This is like finding a reference to Ianus on Patmos, and saying they found Saint John.
