[edit] Map

I have made a map of the area occupied by Omri and Ahab, based on what I have read. I'm not a historian so I hesitate to add it here before someone more knowledgeable has checked it. --EnSamulili 21:19, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More prominent Omride theory

It is misleading to present this theory as the most widely accepted as Israel Finkelstein and his camp represent a very small handful of people that put forth and accept this theory. The large majority reject his extremely low dating outright, along with his theories about the prominence of the Omrides that is spawned from said dates. When creating articles like this it must be important not to dishonestly put forth views only held by minorities as the most favored.

Finkelstein's views are representative of mainstream archaeologists - even William Dever broadly agrees. The ones who disagree are laregly conservative biblical (i.e. text-based) scholars. PiCo 12:20, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
