Fascinating stuff Miguel. How much more is there to find I wonder? Roger
That's a good question, Roger. These major findings are becoming more and more frequent these days. I suppose it is mostly the technological advances that are favoring the increase, though I like to think there is another, maybe supernatural, cause underlying it. Like the time was ripe for it.

 Hi Miguel, I agree with that statement. Also, with proof that there is something there, the archaeoligists will have far fewer problems getting permission to dig. I believe that in the past, it was a lot less favorable to give a grant to a team of scientists that had a (hunch) that something was there, then there will be in the future (which is now in this case)when they can show proof. It is also eerie in a way because as you have mentioned there have been a lot of discoveries made in a relatively short period of time. Why now? Are we really that close to revelation? GOD BLESS YOU ~Mike~ http://www.countryvalues65.com 
Mike, I believe Jesus' words in the Gospels (Luke 8:17, also Matthew) allude to all sorts of revelations and not only his teachings. "For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open" is quite obviously Jesus' teaching but at the same time, he may have even been quoting from older proverbs, as he frequently did. For example, there are similar references, also in the Gospels, to things that will be revealed in due time but apply to other contexts, as in Luke 12:2. Summing up, to me, and to many more people like me, Jesus' words are ultimately eschatological, i.e. they, in the amplest possible context, mainly refer to the end times in which we are now.
This said, such words must in no way be regarded in a negative sense. Jesus was talking of things to ultimately be brought up into the open, which no less obviously meant, particularly in cases like this that we are talking about, at a time when all things positive would be restored on Earth.
Thanks for showing up and posting,
Miguel
