Quote:The city of Gath has been found and a piece of pottery with the name Goliath on it.

Not exactly, GC.  Aren Meir issued a correction that the sherd inscription was a name 'etymologically close to Goliath', which is hardly the same thing at all. It is sort of like finding a 12th century parchment in England containing the name 'Robert Wood' and calling it support for the Robin Hood legends.
