Interesting. So this is Cana, where Jesus performed his first miracle (the changing of the water into wine) in John 2. Fascinating. I guess it's not surprising it was built on the ruins of a settlement from 1000 years earlier.

I bet that Kafr Kana is Cana of the Wedding Feast. Which is coincidentally right north of Nazareth. Very interesting.

Steveus Irwinus?.........

Ok maybe I am uneducated. What is CE and BCE? What ever happend to BC and AD?

I feel the same way. Just read it as "Christian Era" and "Before Christian Era" - because you and I know that's what it really means anyway.

Of course "B.C." and "A.D." are standard, and make more sense. (After all, what makes the eras "common"?)

However, if the source is Israel or a Jewish archeological foundation, I'm not going to expect them to imply acceptance of the title Dominus or Christus to Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

On the other hand, no one thinks I worship Saturn just because I called March 11, 2006 A.D. "Saturday."

but...the Arabs said the Jews never lived there!

One more leap for PC.

Why not?
Isn't denying the origin of our Western Calendar the same as trying to deny the occurrence of the Holocaust?

Cool! One more proof that the Jews were there first and it is their land!

[timsbella]

ROFL!

ROFL! Allahu fubar!

The Jewish source should have just used the Jewish year.

One arbitrary temporary dating system is as good as another.

The muslims should get out of the entire middle east and give it back to Christians and Jews.

What are the odds of this being reported in Al-Jeezera that muzzie rag, or its American counterparts cBS, nBS, aBS and pBS.. Not great I would assume..

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

Does this mean the Moslems are going to start building underground mosques so as to destroy all traces of pre-0ccupation as they are doing to the Temple mount?
