I was sitting at home minding my own business during this nice July weather when a good friend of mine forwarded an interesting article to me about a tablet predating Christ (by a few decades) and speaking of a Messiah rising from the dead after three days. Although to those familiar with the Zoroastrian faith, this is not much of a surprise. They too believe that the soul rises three days after death. Actually to be exact, it resides in the material world for three nights and it then ventures off into the other world after three nights.

Well a few updates to report. If you hadn't noticed already, I finally got off of my lazy butt and re-designed my entire website. It took a while to come up with ideas but I guess it seemed to work out in the end. Second, my second book has finally been released to the general public. Although it is limited through publisher until the rest of the stores obtain copies in the next couple of weeks. Last, I also update the page of the books I am currently reading.

I thought this would be an interesting article to post: Rabbi Reinman on the Documentary Hypothesis. As most of you may already know, I am a believer of the Documentary Hypothesis and every once in a while it is nice to understand what the opposition feels about it.

Small update: Clay tablet deciphered records catastrophic asteroid destruction on planet. While the article mentions a link to the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah, there isn't. It is merely used to pull the reader in and imply that an event like this may have created the later stories.

Small update: (1) An article in BAR regarding King Jehu of Israel and a conspiracy theory. (2) A second interesting article about the half shekel head-tax ancient Jews used to pay to the temple in Jerusalem. Also an article about an alternate theory about the Ark of the Covenant.

Anyways, here is a couple of updates in the Biblical world: (1) Remains of a First Temple period building has been discovered on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.(2) 8th Century BCE seals have been found at the City of David.
