You must be watching a different Nat Geo than I'm watching. While they pull their punches in many cases so as not to offend too many of you idiots most of their productions aren't half bad.
In the 19th and early 20th century there were scads of preachers masquerading as archaeologists with a shovel in one hand and that fucking bible in the other. They did pronounce every rock they found to be something that "Moses" pissed on.
But that model has been trashed by modern methods although I admit there are still books in print that were copyrighted in 1919 which xtian asswipes still swear are TRUE, TRUE, TRUE.
( Think Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles, there.)
Start with this, if you dare....which I assume you don't because ignorance is your shield.
