Archaeology

There were two cool archaeological pieces in the news this week. One was the discovery of King David-era temple artifacts, and the other was Hadrian's athaenaeum: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12...

I'm not sure if I like the fact that they're going to just convert the hallways they found into passageways for the new subway tunnel. On the one hand, a cool blend of old and new. On the other, will artifacts get lost or destroyed in the process?

It doesn't seem that they're taking this great find very seriously.

The mister says the king David era whatever hasn't been verified. He says USA today is an unreliable source. Thoughts?

When I mentioned Huffington he started laughing hysterically.

I agree, Dubs. I would guess that no matter where we stand, the land has been loved, lived and well trodden before us. Wonderful fuel for the imagination.
