Sir Charles Warren

TEMPLE MOUNT WATCH: Archaeology news: The 'real-life Indiana Jones' who uncovered an ancient Biblical artefact. (Sebastian Kettley, The Express).
ARCHAEOLOGISTS come in all shapes and sizes but Sir Charles Warren, the 19th-century British explorer, is one of a few lucky archaeologists to have been branded a "real-life Indiana Jones." A scripture expert has explained how Sir Charles came to uncover an incredible treasure of Biblical significance.
The Express has been publishing a lot of articles lately on the Bible and archaeology. This one is a pretty good account of some of Sir Charles Warren's accomplishments. For more on him, see here.

For more on the "To the place of trumpeting..." inscription see here and links.

I'm happy to share the title "real-life Indiana Jones" with Sir Charles.
