Descrição: A chain-link fence around the excavationsjokingly requests: "Please do not feed the archaeologists." [...]opens an original and lively study that skilfully mixes archaeology with personalities, and politics with culture, science and technology - such as the pioneering 1929 use of a crewless hydrogen balloon to photograph an archaeological site from the air. In the New Testament's Book of Revelation, Armageddon witnesses the ultimate battle between the forces of good and evil before the Day of Judgement - hence its modern use as a byword for the end of the world. [...]the excitement in 1928, when the expedition's field director cabled Breasted in Chicago: "BELIEVE HAVE FOUND SOLOMONS STABLES". [...]the walls had been misaligned by forces greater than could have been exerted by humans, even humans with battering rams. [...]the layer belongs to the tenth century вс, according to twenty-first-century radiocarbon dating.
