Quote:@ Darkstar, so you believe that when a thing is destroyed, and is replaced with a new thing, the old is still there.
G-C, there are 26 destruction layers at Megiddo. For whatever reason people kept rebuilding on the same site. I consider this odd since many of the destructions were the result of military action or earthquake. This would indicate that the site was no where near as defensible as they thought plus it seems to be quite seimically active. Nonetheless, they kept rebuilding over and over. This does not stop people like you from trotting out your absurd book of revelation and calling it "Armageddon." ( Har Megiddo).
The concept of a "tel" in the ANE is well-established. For whatever reason people rebuilt on the sites. I admire the early effort at re-cycling but some of it crosses the line into bullheadedness.
In any case, Tyre is still Tyre. It does not have to be "found" because it never went anywhere. Everyone who wanted to go there...including jesus if you believe the stories, and I know you do...seem to have no trouble finding it.
