It's to bad we can't just dig in the Temple Mount and end this once and for all

Very good logical conclusions. This is how one must corroborate the theory with the evidence.

I think it's a pity that this conference took place before Eilat Mazar discovering the Stepped Stone Structure, the Large Stone Structure and the Solomonic Wall or Yossi Garfinkel escavating at Khirbet Qeyiafa. These informations are very important to the quest for the United Monarchy

He does it again. How do you produce radiocarbon dates fro pottery? And why is the corrective tree =test not applied to these dates?

When the new hotness in pottery comes out, everyone knows we all gather it together smash it up and bury it all in one layer so we don’t confuse those who dig it up later. 😂

My question is if Solomon existed and was half of what the Bible says he was, why isn't his name mentioned anywhere? His name isn't on a coin, and isn't mentioned by any outside kingdom or source. Egypt would have either mentioned him or conquered him. Assyria or Babylonia would have done the same. The minor kingdoms of Edom or Haram would have mentioned him also.

Temple was to house Ark ,10 Commandments, No Ark ,No 10 Commandments,no Temple.

just another man with the truth

Well, Amihai Mazar is clearly intent on maintaining a more Old Testament (or Jewish if you prefer) history of the area ~ which was essentially Canaanite. He disagrees with Finkelstein of course, as a matter of professional rivalry.

I would hope that these archeologists, who spend their lives on their hands and knees digging in the dirt, are angry at their God for burying all evidence of His existence and of His scripture stories. That God, we are told, wants all of us to believe in Him and the stories He inspired. Why would He hide the evidence so well? Evidently that God doesn't exist, or is not omnipotent, or has lost interest in humanity.

As I understand it, the word Israel is about the God of those ancient people whom they called El. They kept statues of a Bull at their entrances to their territory. They had absolutely nothing to do with any Yahweh (who had a consort called Asherah!)

Solomon temple is a copy of it ever existed was a copy of an Egyptian temple also his name means son of Amon.

So, this lecture shows Solomon's Temple didn't exist, because they Desperately Grasp at any vague "evidence"

Solomon Temple isn't in the West ..... Its in Se-Asia.

So we have an high percentage of probability that God exists and that the one described in the Bible is correct. Why, then, Jesus did not resurrect?
