I've Been Thinking:

Big news from Syria - and this time it is good news.
The Syrians have announced that they have unearthed a Temple dating back to the 9th century BC, that means the site dates back to the Neolithic Period.

The Temple was discovered about 450 miles north of Damascus by a joint French - Syrian archeological team.
The Temple is reported to be in excellent condition.
The most prominent elements in the Temple are the presence of the heads of bulls leading us to believe that bulls were worshipped at that time in that region.

Syria has a tremendous history.
One of the greatest museums for Western civilization is located in Syria.
I wish I could write more often about archaeological discoveries in the region instead of about katyushas and terrorists.

Alas, those lessons are lost in Syria.
