Always searching and never finding? Well, so are the archaeologists in Israel. Thirty years of digging finds little evidence of anything recorded in the Old Testament's Genesis being true. (No surprise to scholars of the Sumerian flood myth, otherwise known as the Epic of Gilgamish).
Sound familiar? It looks like Joseph Smith was not alone in storytelling.
"Beauty and biblical evidence both lie in the eye of the beholder, it seems. No evidence of the events described in the Book of Genesis has ever been found. No city walls have been found at Jericho, from the appropriate era, that could have been toppled by Joshua or otherwise. The stone palace uncovered at the foot of Temple Mount in Jerusalem could attest that King David had been there; or it might belong to another era entirely, depending who you ask.
Archaeologists always hope that advances in technology will shed fresh light on at least part of this ancient mystery: Did the Bible really happen? So far, what discoveries there are, tend to indicate that at the least, the timelines are off."
