[quote=Anonymous]Interesting National Geographic article on new archaeological findings that contradict Finklestein's theories in that 2000 New York Times piece:  http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/print/2010/12/david-and-solomon/draper-text

Here's a quote:  "Now it is Finkelstein’s theory that is under siege. On the heels of Mazar’s claim to have discovered King David’s palace, two other archaeologists have unveiled remarkable finds."

Who the heck knows, though? We DCUM posters can argue endlessly about the findings at different dig sites, but we lack the deep expertise to evaluate these findings or to have opinions on whether Finklestein's pottery shard dating method is valid (it has been severely criticized). Also, we all know that there are more archaeological findings waiting to be uncovered, newer and more accurate pottery shard dating processes to be developed. I like reading about these things. But at the end of the day, I'm certainly not convinced by some DCUM poster who links to 10-year-old research and claims that Finklestein has debunked all religion.[/quote]
