Since the 1970's archaeology has done more to trash the fucking bible than any other discipline. It sure as hell isn't the theologians who are facing reality.
But it's still interesting source material. You can reconstruct how myths tavelled from land to land as well as how the contemporaries built their societies and laws.
It gives an insight into a particular society at a given time and is therefore an interesting source for historical research.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
