Articolul a aparut in Ha'aretz Magazine, Vineri, 29 Octombrie, 1999.Insa de atunci s-au schimbat cateva aspecte.In special datorita lui Dr. Eilat Mazar,,,world authority on Jerusalem's past".Concluziile lui Finkelstein si Herzog se pare ca au ceva lipsuri.Sa luam ca exemplu:

,,Even in Israel, this new school has found its voice. Israel Finkelstein, chairman of Tel Aviv University's Department of Archaeology, began championing a theory several years ago that the biblical accounts of Jerusalem as the seat of a powerful, unified monarchy under the rule of David and Solomon are essentially false. The scientific methods for his assumptions, called a "lower dating" which essentially pushes archaeological evidence into a later century and thus erases all evidence of a Davidic monarchy, were laughed off by traditional archaeologists.

He concluded that David and Solomon, if they existed at all, were merely "hill-country chieftains" and Jerusalem a poor, small tribal village. He claims that the myth of King David was the creation of a cult of priests trying to create for themselves a glorious history."

Ce au spus descoperirile arheologice(s-ar putea sa fi surprins dar arheologia nu s-a oprit in 1999):

,,But the debunkers of Jewish biblical history got some bad news recently, when a spunky, dedicated archaeologist began her latest dig. Dr. Eilat Mazar, world authority on Jerusalem's past, has taken King David out of the pages of the Bible and put him back into living history. Mazar's latest excavation in the City of David, in the southern shadow of the Temple Mount, has shaken up the archaeological world. For lying undisturbed for over 3,000 years is a massive building which Mazar believes is King David's palace.

For Mazar, 48, one of the world's leading authorities on the archaeology of ancient Jerusalem and head archaeologist of the Shalem Center Institute of Archaeology, the discovery was the culmination of years of effort and solid speculation."

Concluzia(anti-manipulare):,,Antiquities in Israel has long been a politically contentious topic, with all its religious and nationalistic overtones. The jury is still out on where all this activity will lead. But one thing is certain: Mazar's discovery has rocked the archeological world."

Exista contra-replici pt tot ce este postat acolo in special pe partea de ,,nume ale lui Dumnezeu".Ideea este de a analiza comparativ.Draguta chestia cu ,,Numele Yahweh, de asemenea, poate fi tradus ca "Eu sunt cine sunt eu", literalmente un fel de a spune "vezi de treaba ta", o modalitate de a ascunde adevarata identitate".Numele acesta se refera la ,,substanta"lui Dumnezeu,in sensul ca autoexistenţa lui YAHWEH nu se întemeiază pe voinţa Sa, ci pe natura Sa, El existând din necesitatea naturii Sale de Fiinţă necauzată;dacă El ar fi propria Sa cauză, El S-ar putea anihila. Inseamna ca este etern,există atemporal,transcende timpul.

De unde pana unde ,,un fel de a spune "vezi de treaba ta", o modalitate de a ascunde adevarata identitate"?
