2000 years ago, is not that old for the region.
I’m surprised that a menorah from that era (1 AD) is counted amongst the oldest.

AP writer prolly hasn’t a clue about ancient history. The J schools today are pathetic. AP hires newbies that majored in dope and sex. They don’t even know the end of a gun that the bullet comes out of.

In this undated handout photo made available by the Israeli Antiquities Authority on Friday, Sept. 11, 2009, showing an ancient stone engraved with a seven-branched candelabra, or menorah, seen at a synagogue in the northern Israeli town of Midgal, near Tiberias, after archeologists uncovered the carved stone. The menorah was engraved in stone around 2,000-years ago and found in a synagogue recently discovered by the Sea of Galilee and is thought to be one of the earliest depictions of a menorah.

2000 years from now, if archeologist’s dig around the pyramids in Egypt and find a bunch of tourist trash circa 2010, how old would those pyramids be, according to archeology?
