Is the State Hiding a Major Bible Era Find?
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/4/13 | Gil Ronen

The capital "apparently indicates that an entire temple of castle is buried beneath it," the newspaper adds. However, when Rosental contacted the Israel Antiquities Authority to inform them of the find, the person he spoke to simply said – "Yaron, good for you. You found it, but we already are aware of it. Now forget about the whole thing and keep your mouth shut."

Rosental said that he later found out that the IAA had known about the side for 18 months. He said that no digging has taken place since then, and that even steps like cordoning off the area to prevent damage to the rare find, have not been taken.

Rosental calls this "a scandal" but says that no less worrisome is that the state appears to have plans to move the separation fence between Israel and the PA in a way that will leave the site in the PA's hands,

According to Rosental, excavation of the site has potential for uncovering a complete castle from the Judean kings' period, for the first time ever. "We appear to have a complete castle here," he said. "Those who came after it did not know of its existence." The details found inside could be "amazing."

The IAA confirmed to Makor Rishon that the find is an important one that appears to date to the period of Judean kings. However, the IAA added, the subject is "sensitive" and "requires serious and responsible handing."

Lend-lease in fact kept Britain in the war. We kept Great Britain afloat financially and materially and provoked Hitler to declare war on us for having earlier aided the British Navy in keeping the Atlantic open for shipping.

The churches I refer to were built in the 100 years after the conquest. When I was there in the late 1950s, there were churches were mothers would hang the umbilical cord of their infant in a nearby tree. I also viewed a ceremony in an Indian village that had not had a priest since 1935. It did not look entirely Catholic to me. It was 6 miles from the nearest road. We rode horses to get there. We went to the mayor and his two deputies, gave them some cigarettes and received permission to take photographs. They were the only people in this village of probably more than 500 who spoke Spanish. At that time there were several million people in Mexico who only spoke a native language, not Spanish.

Last week, the local McDonalds was Razed........ the site is a now muddy field. It was graded and compacted.

Something new is coming. A more modern McDonalds for sure.

They did that a couple of years ago at 45th & Telegraph in Oakland, CA: razed the old McD's and built a new one in its place.

I know the culture has been mostly replaced by a foreign one. Originally forced upon them true, but could it have all been? No, that’s impossible. They adapted, willingly for the most part.

hmm, interesting ~ without any Jordanian cousins I wouldn't know about that, but the family used to own that vast array of ancient ceremonial menhirs in Brittany ~ at least for 1000 years and probably more.

Once the French moved in they began using them as a source of rip rap for rivers as well as paving stones.

Bet the French are jordanians, eh!
