That there were no kingdom's during 10th century in that area. Scholars said it was all farmland not under the rule of a kingdom. These pieces of whatever apparently would only be found in an area where there was some form of government and date to 10th century BC.

The reference to Solomon and David might make it more exciting but nothing about this find proves they existed, just that they could have existed which is more than "scholars" were willing to admit.

Yall might want try considering who the question was asked to. It was to the guy who said is was 6 billion to 2. The question was what are the 2.

Is it too late to go back to the old boards where threaded forums were easier to see in the thread?

Of course there was no kingdom until Saul became King. More than likely, he didn't live in anything extravagant. His successor David wanted to build a Temple, but was told by God to let his son Solomon do it.

Yeah, the David and Solomon references seem sort of strange, but I get that they made them since they were the rulers mentioned in the ancient texts. This find is basically a bunch of scientists discovering something they previously didn't understand about ancient civilizations. In the process, perhaps it points to some historically somewhat accurate accounts of a specific kingdom in the Bible. There are plenty of kingdoms from the Bible that we know to have existed, this was just not one of them. This finding might lead to that discovery or it might not. It's not like proving there was a government and economic activity in that region proves the entire earth flooded for forty days or that all there is was blinked into existence, in it's current state, in 6 days. So it's not exactly an earth shattering discovery, it's just really cool that maybe there actually were some kings in that specific area back then.
