Title: Great Discoveries Name: MarkH City: State: USA
Such discoveries are amazing. In America the old discoveries are thousands of years old, but they were not left by descendants of Europe. Our modern history is still standing (for the most part). We are more free to destroy our recent past and start new without feeling we`re desecrating something hugely important. This difference makes relations between America and most other countries a bit complicated. I`m curious. When these old great discoveries of Israel are found, do they indicate the existence of Jewish peoples or Palestinians or are they all of one kind? Somehow, out of that distant past and the developments of the recent past there must be a future which makes sense. I`m glad progress is being made. I expect further `discoveries` will occur of their own accord -- in God`s time if you wish. Just keep at the work. We`ll all appreciate the results. Tourists just love to see the past.
