Jacobovici vs. Zias

COURT CASE: A Feud Between Biblical Archaeologists Goes to Court (Time Magazine). Simcha Jacobovici is not a "biblical archaeologist" (a phrase that implies formal specialist training), and Nina Burleigh should know better than to call him one. He is a filmmaker who is involved in archaeology and biblical studies as an amateur, and some of his ideas are pretty goofy (see, for example, here, here, here, and here). It is for the judge to rule on the court case, but the journalists should still at least exert minimal effort to get the basic facts right.
