Hmm. Addendum to this. There is some clown that gets shown on one of 
the, "Its History/Discovery, or something, honest!", channels that 
represents the sort of "Christian" archeologists you get. As one of 
those people that had to deal with the nut put it, "He shows up at 
someone's dig some place, with a camera crew, and bugs them, until they 
give some wishy washy, 'maybe' to his questions of whether or not the 
place they are digging up might be Gomorrah, or the Tower of Babble, or 
what ever he is looking for, just to get him to shut up." He then 
proceeds to make a 1 hour show on how they have proven the events of 
David and Goliath, based on those vague, "maybe, now go away!", 
statements. The guy probably doesn't even know what a shovel looks like, 
never mind what they use anything else for.

For these sorts of "history experts" finding "John Smith" would me 
absolute proof of the existence of which ever one they imagined they 
where looking for, even if all they had was *part* of a name '_ohn S'.
