AP: Group Discovers John the Baptist Cave

Both Tabor and Gibson said it was very likely that the wall carvings, including one showing a man with a
staff and wearing animal skin, told the story of John the Baptist. The carvings stem from the Byzantine
period and apparently were made by monks in the fourth or fifth century.
Oh, that's authoritative.
Gibson said he believed the monks commemorated John at a site linked to him by local tradition.
Sure. Like Helen and the true cross.
Gibson, who heads the Jerusalem Archaeological Field Unit, a private research group, organized an
excavation. During the five-year project, he wrote a book, entitled "The Cave of John the Baptist,"
to be published later this week.
Ah, just another greedy fellow with a book to sell. Nothing to see here.

It's that ineluctable xtian logic at work, i.e. wall carvings+man+staff+skin
= John the Baptist! Surrender your doubts right now!!!!!
Gibson said he believed the monks commemorated John at a site linked to
him by local tradition.
ANOTHER ringing endorsement, same logic, part II: " cluster of superstitious
medieval idiots= John the Baptist"
Sure. Like Helen and the true cross.

Well there's nothing like money. "Never give a sucker an even break" (W.C.
Fields) pretty much sums it up here.
