Its probably in your local library...which is a big building with books in case you have never seen one.

you're going to have to do better than, one guys opinion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Finkelstein
Quote:Finkelstein specializes in Middle Eastern archaeology of the ancient history of the Land of Israel. He is critical of scholars who read the results of their excavations as confirming the biblical narratives of conquest. One of his most controversial theories is his description of 10th century BCE Jerusalem, the period associated with the biblical kings David and Solomon, as a "small hill town, with a modest palace and royal shrine."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_Unearthed

Quote:A review of the book by fellow archeologist William G. Dever published in the Biblical Archaeology Review and subsequently in the Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research, resulted in heated exchanges between Dever and Finkelstein. Dever's review noted that the book had many strengths, notably archaeology's potential for re-writing the history of "Ancient Israel", but complained that it misrepresented his own views and concluded by characterizing Finkelstein as "idiosyncratic and doctrinaire"; Finkelstein's reaction was to call Dever a "jealous academic parasite," and the debate quickly degenerated from that point.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza
Quote:The Great Pyramid consists of an estimated 2.3 million blocks which most believe to have been transported from nearby quarries. The Tura limestone used for the casing was quarried across the river. The largest granite stones in the pyramid, found in the "King's" chamber, weigh 25 to 80 tonnes and were transported from Aswan, more than 800 km (500 mi) away.

If you believe an stone weighing 80 tonnes was pushed up a ramp, than the concept of "Faith" should be right up your alley.
