Of course you're right.

I shouldn't try to post until I've been awake at least an hour.

Great announcements during High Holy Days!

Forget it. He’s rolling.

“Why would they hide it under the floor, then?”

I agree. The Jews sided with the Persians against the Byzantines. I would think they hid it after the Byzantines recaptured the city, or after the Muslims conquered it a few years later.

How nice of the ancients to have framed their artifacts for instant display a millennium later.

Obviously planted by Zionists

Obviously she salted the site with gold stolen from the Falestinian Feofle. The menorah, a Falestinian symbol, proves it!/sarc

Nice to see the Muslim maniacs haven’t completely destroyed the Jewish history and continual presence there for milleniums. Liberalism and most people buy Muslims propaganda that history begins and ends with their raping and pillaging of lands then squatting and doing nothing.
