An excellent post. As one who finds biblical archeology fascinating, I also find it unfortunate that it ocurrs in such a screwed-up part of the world.

The Bible is True. Archeology again shows that to be the case.

“The announcement will reopen the debate about how much of the Old Testament is myth and how much is history.”
I’ll give them a clue: it’s ALL history.

The great secret of mining is that it is the only 100% correlation in economics: when nations mine, they prosper; when they stopped mining, they declined.
The reason is both because a nation needs considerable strength to mine, and that mining creates an economic ripple effect strengthening a nation’s economy.
Ironically, it is almost unheard of for a prospector who discovers a mine to become wealthy. Everybody else benefits, but prospectors don’t.

How do they know they were King Solomon’s mines? The only mention of a nation or people is that Egyptian artifacts were found. They may be calling them King Solomon’s mines to facilitate future funding.
