Rant: The Naked Archaeologist

Post by maddash »

Is this guy even an archaeologist? Just seems like he takes historical events (biblical in nature) and then he tries to prove them to be true. An archaeologist shouldn't have these preconceived notions - like the Exodus is true and I'm going to do theses digs to prove it - they should just approach the data scientifically with no assumptions.

This is the same goof ball that worked with James Cameron and said he found the tomb of Jesus.

I'm pretty sure there's a picture of him in social.

That must be mechanically difficult. You could get sand and dirt in....places.

BTW, I wholeheartedly disapproving of having to use a rant disclaimer in rants.

Stupid raves are taking this whole place over.

Wait, I'm confused... I thought the whole theme of "The Tomb of Jesus" was that the whole resurrection and story of Jesus was wrong? I thought this guy tries to prove things in the name of his religion?
