More archaeology


Remains of Jesus-era synagogue found in Israel

The situations in these countries have allowed their great age to be buried and preserved. In the very young country I live in we're tearing down 100 year old buildings so we can build glass and steel monstrosities that can't possibly last 25 years. In the new world, the world of built-in obsolescense even affects buildings. If it's old, get rid of it, just like you would your car or camera or PDA or computer!

It's very sad. We won't have a history...
