I find this passage here is something worthy of discussion [quote]This is one of the most important discoveries of all time,? said Andrea Carandini, a prominent Italian archaeologist. He has long held that the myths of ancient Rome could be true.[/quote] There have been various, similar remarks made about legends and passages out of the Bible that turned out to be factual areas, or events. Often, such is used to demonstrate the validity of the Bible. What I am interested in discussing here is that this phenomenom (legend that is based on fact) is not isolated to the Bible, first of all. And second, that in the case of the Romulus and Riemus legend of Ancient Rome, that if based somewhat on fact (or at least an actual area), that it does not then validate all the other beliefs, stories, etc of the Romans (like belief in the Gods, etc). Comments, observations, etc, anyone?
