Nothing like an old-fashioned biblical showdown behind bars
Tuesday, November 8th, 2005“As if Megiddo, the biblical city of Armageddon – scene of three millennia of battles, the last cavalry charge of the first world war and the final showdown between good and evil – did not have enough on its plate. Archaeologists now claim to have unearthed the remains of the oldest Christian church discovered in [...]
