Thanks for your comments.

That is precisely the question, however; the point of departure from fact
into faith; and vice versa ...

does the factual record imply ezekiel tomb or a tomb?

does the archeological record imply daniel tomb or a tomb?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_Daniel

does the textual record infer nahum tomb or a tomb?

http://jewishrefugees.blogspot.com/2007/01/tomb-of-nahum-in-iraq-needs-urgent.html

where is the boundary line? between fact ... and faith?

is the archeological and textual record implying hebrew as a language of 882
b.c., or the language of 882 b.c., judah?

regards,
