Ophel is well north of "city of David".




No it isn>t. Ophel is a ridge running south
from the Haram and ends in a low cliff -
probably man-made for defence. The city of
David was located on that ridge, as shown by
excavations conducted at various sites along
it.

Right. But another interpretation is that Ophel
is not synonymous with the city of David but a
fortification or tower, perhaps located just
outside the southern Haram wall.

Not only is it not synonymous, but there is no
evidence for any city of David, or any David,
outside the Bible.


The "Ir David" is a name for the old 'Jebusite'
center.. Remnants dating back to the middle bronze
age were found there, at Siloam/Silwan/Shelah/Silla
- or whatever the preferred spelling is, where it
was supposed to>ve been.

As for the Ophel, Josephus says "..a certain place
which they called Ophlas, where it [the city wall]
was joined to the eastern gallery of the temple."
If the temple was at the site of the al-Aqsa, then
I suppose that Ophel may>ve been where later was
the Silwan-gate. Maybe a gate-building, and perhaps
the same as the Siloam tower and the Millo. Now the
Millo and Ophel seem to be inside Ir-David/Siloam,
but 2 Kings 12:20 suggests rather that it may>ve
been _near_ Siloam: "And his servants arose, and
made a conspiracy, and smote Joash at the house of
Millo, [on the way] that goeth down to Silla."
IIUIC, the presumed late bronze age wall of the Ir
David does not reach all the way to the temple
mound, so if the Ophel was indeed touching on the
temple building, then _strictly speaking_ it can be
said to>ve been outside, to the north of, the Ir
David (if that is defined by its walls).


Thanks for the update, but how does it negate what I
said? There are piles of rocks reputed to be

There is the phrase byt dwd on the Tel Dan stele.
Neither seems there anything obvious in the
archaeological data against the identification of that
area with the biblical City of David. It is ironic that
the area is now ethnically cleansed of the very people

Then again perhaps not.

[quote]Not a single usage of BYT is as DYNASTY as the Brits use

The British use of the word house was also ancient use.

[/quote]
oikos is not BYT. That there is a word that may be interchangeable with
dynasty is one thing. That the translator chooses the word house in the
British sense is unrelated to what I said.

[quote]If in fact you should disagree you are FREE to present

One has to be profoundly ignorant of a lot of things not

Semantics are often comparable. The ancient world was more
interconnected as you think.
[/quote]
It is not a matter of having the same ideas. It is the inference that a word
which can mean house among many others can also assume British meanings of the
word house. BYT does not mean house. The TRANSLATION given to BYT depends upon
the word associated with it. It is happenstance that the preferred translation
when BYT refers to a nobody it is translated house (if to a king it is
translated palace, if to a god then temple) and that house also in English is
used to mean dynasty.

Anyone can test this with no knowledge of any other language. Go to google>s
translation page and translate a word to another language then translate it
back. We have bottle cap and baseball cap. Those are not the same word in

Bethlehem.

Archaeology is a science. Science does not work that way.
There must be physical evidence found before one can make
a single positive statement. We do know that Egypt ruled
the region at the time David was supposed to have been
king. That bit of fact found in Egypt clearly demonstrates the bible
is no more than the childish
fiction it appears to be.

If you want read strictly hard facts you can always go read
a telephone book.
[/quote]
And if you want to talk a science like archaeology then you stick to known
facts. It is not meant to justify any and all fanciful ideas about the ancient
world.

[quote]Btw. In the Amarna letter 288 the vassal king of
Jerusalem mentions a "gate of Silu" as the location of
a triple killing, betrayed by servants. Which reminds
of how Joash was killed by his servants at the Millo,
on the way to Silla. Perhaps both at the same place
(the Silwan gate)?

Must has been found which shows the source of the
inspiration for names and such that served the creators
of the fantasy stories in the OT.

A good place for an ambush can remain so even 500 years
later. A narrow passageway perhaps, or an open crossing
between two fortified locations (one on the temple mount and
the other at the 'city of David'/Siloah.)
[/quote]
And that same pass can be used as the setting for a fanciful story created at
any time even today. So what? Try Leon Uris' Masada if you like bible stories.
Were it not for the very unflattering story in Josephus absolutely nothing
would be known about that event. Compare Josephus to Uris. What is not in
Josephus is modern creation.

You are arguing to your conclusions. You try to explain everything in terms
of the OT myths. By definition the OT requires faith. Faith is incompatible
with reason in general and archaeology in particular as the latter is a science.

We have well known and indisputable facts. In the 5th c. BC Herodotus was in
the region and found the Syrians of Palestine or Palestine-Syrians depending
on how you like it translated. Two centuries later Alexander conquered the
region going directly from Tyre to Egypt without a side trip to Jerusalem.
Neither Herodotus nor the chroniclers of Alexander mention any Judeans/Jews or
any people who could have been them.

Everyone has to face the fact that Jews do not appear in the world nor their
stories or famous people until after Alexander. And archaeology does not find
anything showing there were any Jews prior to Alexander. The cult of Yahweh
appeared after Alexander with a wholly invented history much as the appearance
of the Latter Day Saints with the invented Book of Mormon. The LDS is an
invented religion as is Islam and Scientology and also so is Judaism. It
appears out of no where after Alexander. There is no evidence of a prior
existence.

Those are the facts. Nothing can be changed without the discovery of new
facts. As bibleland is percentagewise the most dug place in the world, even
Jewish Israeli archaeologists have given up on finding anything of interest.

So a person using an 18th c. spelling today is over 200 years old.

It is obvious that an old spelling can be used forever. The only thing an old
form can do it estimate the earliest date. It can tell nothing of any later
date. There must be a dozen "olde townes" in the US where this can be tested.

Why do immature fools like yourself get such a thrill from lying about
people? Are you sociopaths?

Seems to me the second worst way is to become a POW.
I do not see what that has to do with being president.

There is a house in New England which is in fact the house which has the
stories of hauntings and possession associated with it. Why should we not
believe the Hollywood movies about it?
Betty and Barney Hill were real people. Why should we not believe they
are abducted by aliens?
But the analogy fails as the bible has no correct information about the times
in which the stories were supposed to have taken place.

You mean, Matt the Pratt asserts that the Bible has no correct
information. Real scholars have no doubts that the Bible has some
correct information.

You mean to say you believe hauntings and alien abductions. No wonder you are
so strange.

As to the facts, I have higher standards than the little old ladies you rob
of their savings telling them the same crap you are trying to peddle here.

[quote]You have a financial interest in the silly bible stories being true.
As you have a financial interest there is nothing credible you can say on the
subject.

While we have no information about the beliefs of those who subscribe
to our magazines, we do know that the majority of those on our tours
are not Christians and the information we give them is strictly
historical - drawing upon all sources of information, including the
Bible.

All educated people know real history contradicts the bible myths. Only
people stupid enough to pay you are stupid enough to believe them.

[quote]The problem is that Matt the Pratt is insanely jealous because we are
successful - and he still sulks on his tatty little trailer park.
