be careful of what you read in the news about archaeological discoveries

a lot of recent archaeological discoveries in jerusalem have made things rather interesting. see previous posts.

yet there are always the bad apples like the talpiot tomb jesus' ossuary etc. see cbs 60 minutes where they further debunk the issue.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/03/20/60minutes/main3954980.shtml

here is one christian dvd from the site below where the author/director claims to have discovered the actual site of mount sinai where the ancient israelites encamped. they even claim to have found the altar of the golden calf etc. these so-called self-styled indiana jones archaeologists are giving the christian faith and archaeology a bad name. a lot of christians swallowed thse stuff as if there are the truth. if they are, how come the academic world is not abuzzing? some years ago, the other other self-styled indiana jones archaeologist from australia claims to have discovered pharaoh's chariots under the Red Sea and the dvd even purport to show underwater pictures of gold inlaid chariot wheels etc.
