The 3,000-year-old piece of pottery dates back to the time of King David, suggesting Israeli accounts of David’s kingdom could have been based on written accounts.

The piece, discovered in southern Jerusalem, could validate or dispel accounts of occurrences several centuries before the Bible was written, says CNN.

If the text matches Biblical account, it would corroborate religious testimony that says the Bible is more historical account than myth.

This is cool.  I love when archeologists uncover things like this.

But isn’t it even better when ordinary people uncover history by accident?

Two weeks ago workers renovating a rugby stadium in Rome uncovered an underground tomb that mimics the architectural design of a city, The Guardian reports.

The site supposedly boasts a passage into the room where Caligula was murdered.  I know it’s a murder, but that’s wicked.

The Roman culture ministry says the area may have been inhabited by living people during the Dark Ages.

It’s hard to imagine that in a thousand years people will be marveling over artifacts from this age.

This kind of stuff makes life so much more interesting, no?

A two-tonne bronze statue of King David was stolen from a stoneworking shop in Copenhagen, Denmark. The statue was being repaired because of damage incurred when a car ran into it in June.

The three-meter tall statue usually stands outside Our Lady’s Church in Copenhagen.

The statue was supposed to be returned on Monday, but when one of the stoneworkers in the shop noticed it was missing, he reported it.

“At first we thought it was a joke. Someone must have used a big truck and crane to get away with it,” said cathedral dean Anders Gadegaard.

The major concern is that the bronze could be melted and sold, which would effectively ruin the legendary 168-year-old statue.
