By Golly, I can imagine an archeological finding that might piss me off, like someone finding Palin's likeness on the wall in Omen II - my mistake I think that would amuse me. I currently get pissed off by sports results, the stock market, and politics.

What might really piss me off is having the guy shining my shoes suddenly disappear in the rapture as I've seen on the history channel. Although not having to pay would mitigate the pain somewhat.

Maybe part of getting pissed off is not having one's shit together.

I meant to watch but didn't. Anybody here watch and impressed enough to comment?

I watched. It was 'ok'. As much religious based. however, as based in actual archaeology. Is this 7th century BC or 11th century BC? So a bit of a stretch when suggesting a link to Soloman.etc. It's like a dozen places in Britain claimng to be the site of King Arthur...and his legend is much more recent.


The wierd part is when they speak of 'King David' or whatever and then show a 14th or 15th century European portrait of the fellow ....as if it's suppose to be more of a likeness of David than that of Mickey Mantle on a baseball card. Why do history shows and books keep doing this?

So you ACCEPT archeological evidence. Good to know. So you accept there was never a world wide flood? Jericho did not fall do to a trumpet and was actually a city much older than what the bible says it was and destroyed BEFORE Israelites inhabited the land of Canaan? How about the archeological evidence that NO exodus occurred? How about the lack of archeological evidence that there was any Israelite captivity?
Really no Atheist I have ever met gets upset over archeological evidence. it is what it is. However archeological evidence does not make your fairy sky daddy with his son the flying zombie true. Same with Just because Harry Dresden is a working wizard in Chicago does not mean there are real magic happening in Chicago. Just because there is archeological evidence for a time period talking about at the time those places, people and things does not mean that magic and the woo actually happened.
