To share just the beginning of the story:

MEGIDDO PRISON, Israel (AP) -- Israeli prisoner Ramil Razilo was removing rubble from the planned site of a new prison ward when his shovel uncovered the edge of an elaborate mosaic, unveiling what Israeli archaeologists said Sunday may be the Holy Land's oldest church.

So, they've found an ancient buried church right by the sight of the biblical Armageddon--possibly the oldest church in the region. Now, I find this whole thing fascinating, but I have to wonder...

(Or a D20 Modern, WoD, or CoC campaign...)

The guy got two years of forced labor - for traffic violations? What did he do, leave an oil tanker in a no parking area? Or is this one of the bits where I'm missing something and traffic violations is like contraband?

Hmm. Pazuzu, the middle-eastern god-turned-demon (last seen in the various Exorcist movies) has a bird head and wings. Obviously there is a connection! Man, I wish I was running an occult conspiracy game right now....

I'm pretty sure it says something in the bible about the twelve tribes of Israel gathering on Mount Armageddon before the world ends. So unless various people from across the globe gather to check out this church we're probably in the clear ;)
