Archaeology & History

Hunting for David and Goliath

By T.K. Randall

Archaeologists are investigating the alleged site at which the 3000-year-old bible story depicts David slaying Goliath with a stone from his sling, but was it a true story ? Did either David or Goliath even actually exist ?
Archaeologists are putting some flesh on the bones of the David and Goliath myth by shifting through layers of earth at the site in the Holy Land.

Interesting, wonder if he means Goliath-like people in stature, or just name only. "I would say a Goliath-like people for sure existed here. You have evidence of an inion which shows us two Goliath-like names at that time." The Tell es-Safi dig is one of the biggest excavations of its kind in the Holy Land. In recent years it has yielded a rich deposit of evidence that proves the Philistines lived there from prehistoric times and fought with the Israelites."

Did the Philistines named their country?? Any record of that??? Did the Hebrews came later or were they there as long as well. Was it a holy land for the Philistines??? Questions. questions.

I don't think they'll ever find them. Never know, if the US was able to find Saddam in a spider hole, anything's possible really. Hehe.
