Evidence of the biblical David being covered up?

Bethlehem (Painting, 1882)

There seems to be more evidence of the biblical David and/or his son Solomon, but it seems to be related to a political cover-up:

A carved pillar discovered near Bethlehem may be linked to the Biblical King of Kings, David himself, or perhaps validate the scope of wise Solomon’s majestic kingdom.

If they ever get around to digging it up, that is.

Israeli tour guide Binyamin Tropper, who thought he was the first to discover the major historical artifact, was astonished to find out that authorities had known about the pillar for decades — and had been keeping it a secret all that time.

“When I realized the significance of the pillar, I told my boss who spoke with the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA),” Tropper, who works at the educational field school at Kibbutz Kfar Etzion, told FoxNews.com. “The IAA then told him, ‘that’s great, now shut up.'” http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/06/20/find-from-era-king-david-confirm-old-testament/

As we get closer to the end, it is interesting that archeologists continue to find more evidence of biblical peoples, places, figures, and events. But it is interesting how politics even affects matters such as archaeology.
