    Glad you have dived in.....

    Looking forward to hearing your comments on the various discussions.

    So what led you onto the 607 discovery?

    Hey everybody, thanks for the welcome. In answer to your question yknot, I am a history buff, so I was doing some recreational research on, of all things TE Lawrence. He was involved in the dig at Carchemish before WW1 started. Saw that battle of Carchemish was in 605, first year of Nebuchadnezzar and did them math. It was some pretty furious internet research after that...I was astounded that there wasn't a shred of evidence for 607. Lots of crazy theorists and apologists out there though. Spent a lot of time wading through it. For someone not history oriented the confusion would be nearly insurmountable. ofo

    I've been observing long enough to (I think) figure out who here is the real deal and who isn't
    .

    That made me laugh.....I still wonder who's the real deal.

    Welcome!

    **** I recently posted a thread with a ton of e-mail replies showing just how many people are in your shoes right now. You might find some real encouragement once you realize just how not alone you actually are.
