T REX PROTEINS FOUND, according to reports in Science, 13 Apr 2007 and BBC News Online.  In 2005 Mary Schweitzer of North Carolina State University reported finding remnants of fibrous tissue and blood vessels in a Tyrannosaurus bone. There was some debate over whether this was really original organic material because, as Schweitzer commented to the BBC, “The pathways of cellular decay are well known for modern organisms. And extrapolations predict that all organics are going to be gone completely in 100,000 years, maximum.”

Discovery of First Temple Wall Strengthens Claim to Site of King David’s Palace
Archaeologist says it is “the largest site from King David’s time ever to have been discovered.”

The Jerusalem Post reports that a wall from the First Temple was discovered less than two years after Israeli archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar said she discovered the location of King David’s palace just outside the walls of the Old City. The find strengthens the claim that the site is, indeed, that of King David’s palace. Reporter Etgar Lefkovits notes that the monumental 10th century BC building found by Mazar in 2005 “ignited debate among archaeologists about whether it is indeed the palace built for the victorious David by King Hiram of Tyre as recounted in Samuel II:5.”  According to the report, Mazar estimates less than a quarter of the entire wall has been uncovered so far, and says that it is the largest site from King David’s time ever to have been discovered.
