Hi, Mario. Thanks for the comments. I used babelfish to translate from Portugese to English, so forgive me if I misunderstood your paragraph.

I was told by our tour guide (who is a retired archaeologist professor) that human bones were found on this Canaanite altar at Megiddo. If I understand your comment correctly, you quoted an expert on the History Channel who said that this was not true - that goat bones were found here. That may be fine and well, but I've seen far too many errors on History Channel, Nova, National Geographic, etc to place complete faith in the experts quoted there. For example, just yesterday, I saw an 'expert' on the History channel say that the great pyramids were built by Thutmose III (and showed a video of Kaphre's pyramid). Sorry, but Thutmose III lived c 1475BC and the pyramids of the Giza complex were built c 2600BC. I don't know what was worse: that this 'expert' was off by 1,000 years or that the editors at the History Channel didn't catch it.

It may be true that no human skeletons were found on this particular altar, but history shows that the ancient Cananites did indeed sacrifice their own offspring to Molech, etc.

Rom 16:23 ... Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus greet you.

This inscription could very well be regarding this same Erastus that St. Paul spoke of. Google it.

The pile of stones in the lower portion of this photo are some of the remains of the Jewish Temple, thrown down by the Romans when they destroyed the Temple in 70AD (prophesied by Christ in Matt 24). The Temple Mount, on the left side of the photo, is essentially a platform about 75 feet above the Roman road below. The stones hit with such force that the Roman road was broken. See the photo of the Western Wall for a better view of the layout of the Wall and proximity of the stones below.

The exterior of the 3 pyramids at the Giza plateau were once covered with a shiny limestone layer. This 'cap' on Kaphre's pyramid (the middle pyramid) is all that remains of this limestone exterior. Don't let the size deceive you: each of these limestone blocks are probably 4-6 feet high and weighs 2-10 tons. (The pyramids are HUGE!)

This is the only place on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee where there's a cliff. The Gospels tell us that Jesus cast demons out of two men and the demons entered local swine. The swine rushed down the cliff and drowned themselves in the Sea of Galilee.

It's the only Biblical place I've seen in Israel that doesn't have a church there to commemorate a Biblical event. I guess "Church of the Demoniac Pigs" just doesn't fly.

This small cave is on the hillside where Jesus taught the Beatitudes. It overlooks the northern coast of the Sea of Galilee.

Dr. Dave, speaking from the same location where Jesus (supposedly) taught the Sermon On The Mount (Matt 5-7)

The inscription is Latin: "Here He taught us all."

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord". And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears". (Luk 4:16-21 KJVA)

So the citizens of Nazareth wanted to kill Jesus for this.

It is in this city, Caesarea Philippi - a Greek site to worship the god Pan - that Jesus asked His disciples "Who do you say that I AM?" Peter blurted out "You are Christ, the son of the living God". Jesus acknowledged that truth and said to Peter, "You are Peter ('pebble'), and on this Rock ('boulder') I shall build my church" (Mat. 16:13-20).
