... we received yesterday and today. And that by a mole. It sounds funny, and it is. The little guy has his tireless digging actually befoerdet some beautiful painted pottery to the surface. Cool thing, ne? Otherwise we have
excavated in the last two days, three of our Fuenfquadratmeterflaeche about 70 cm deep (the inclined Nerd can figure out like me, how much is in cubic meters). And I must confess to have been so far to no other day so exhausted as to be today. This is, however, also at the lack of sleep, as we have seen yesterday in the kibbutz's own bar, the semi-final game on the big screen. Unfortunately, I had previously with amide, our supervisor, on the bet admitted that if Germany loses, I have to go the next day, all the wheelbarrow ...
than that it was nevertheless a highly successful day because: we have reached the famous "destruction level. Fragments and also completely preserved pottery we discovered here nearly a penny and some large stones (some with burn marks) indicate a house. It will be fascinating over the next few days! Furthermore, I still can
mention that I was the announced lectures about David and Goliath convinced little. The professor thought it very unlikely namely, that the latter could have ever existed at all, whereas not only the so-called "Goliath Inscription" talks (see: http://faculty.biu.ac.il/ ~ maeira / project.html ). The lecture was generally built on the hypothesis that the books of Deuteronomy (5 Moses) to 2 Kings were all written after 586 BC, which was explained by the fact that in the latter book, the last mentioned event the deportation of the Jews in Jerusalem. Against this assumption is, however, including the fact that some terms have experienced within these books an apparent change of meaning. For example, believes about the term "Book of Moses" at first only the 5th Book of Genesis, while it referred to later, the entire Torah. Such a development would not be possible if all books were created at the same time.
Sun Now I am first time to the end-of-Week-dinner party tonight, tomorrow morning will be dug in the dirt again and then you go on to Jerusalem.
Well, then,
Jalla Jalla!
