Why Is Shimon Gibson Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Shimon Gibson is a British-born archaeologist living in North Carolina, where he is a Professor of Practice in the Department of History at University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Life Gibson was the lead archaeologist excavating a wilderness cave he associated with John the Baptist in 2000 and later wrote The Cave of John the Baptist. Such claim has been criticized by other scholars and, according to Hershel Shanks, "few, if any, scholars in Israel think this cave has anything to do with John the Baptist". He later led a team that found a 10-line ritual cup at Mount Zion.
