“We have to try to get through the filter of the later editing… But deep down, there was something there. I’m mean this [the temple] is a cultural icon, it’s shaped our pictures of the garden of Eden, it’s shaped our pictures of what it is to be a human being.

It’s a huge thing to discover…” --Margaret Barker
