I refer back to your earlier quote:


It's not 'thiests' that are making the connection to David and Solomon, it's the experts, whom by your own admission you believe without question.

Hey don't get fooled by sensational journalism, if you read the article you can see there is no inscription that it was by David or even by Jews. Not just that but you can go to Jerusalem and travel guides will point you to pile of rocks and claim that it was put there by king David.
It can all be seen in Francesca Stavrakopoulou's documentary about absence of evidence for David. In it you can see how eager Jews are to find evidence and basically every rock they uncover they first proclaim that it must have been put there by king David. Also when you come to Jerusalem today guides will tell you how this pile of rock and that pile was put by king David although it's not. So you can see how finding evidence for David is fueled not just by money that tourism brings in but also politics.




Thanks for the link to Francesca Stavrakopoulou. She's great! History isn't one of my subjects. It's nice to find someone who explains it so well.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
