Ancient writing and current politics

[chromodynamics]

I haven't posted in a while, so I wanted to find something interesting. This article is about how the discovery of an early alphabet found in a settlement of 10th century B.C. Israel has an effect on the modern debate in the archeological community, which is itself an extension of the politics in the region.

Research on ancient writing linked with modern Mideast conflict


On a more personal note, this week is absolutely crazy as the entire family has to deal with doctor's appointments, dentist appointments, flu clinics, pre-school open houses, university orientations, and registering cars in the new state (still) combined with all the normal weekly activities (work, school, gymnastics, art class, playdates, etc.). And of course GOF.

I am definitely looking forward to the weekend.

Oh, and tell Annie I'm glad she likes the Santas; they make me really happy, as well! I particularly like the surprised "O" their mouths take on when they hit the ground. It makes me giggle.

I mean, after 50 or so bounces, you think they'd get used to it. :))
