This guy is dead wrong about what he calls "Sat-kona". Firstly, he disparages the historical and Tanakh account of David HaMelekh ben Yishai:
"The Biblical [Old Testament/Torah] myth of King David begins when David as a simple Shepard boy slays the Philistine giant, Goliath. David fell Goliath with a stone from his sling and then cut off the giant's head. David was promoted to commander of the armies of King Saul and married into the king's family. Later Saul was killed in battle and David became King and the myth says that God shielded David during his many battles. The Sat-kona has been adopted by Jews to represent the protection or shield that God provided for David."
Secondly, he uses Darwinian (carbon dating-based, poor, Darwinian Evolution-proselytizing) archaeology:
"12) LEBANON
A ring was found in the Lebanese city of Sidon with the shape of Sat-kona, which was dated from the 7th Century BCE. Sidon was one of the most important Phoenician cities and may well have been the oldest."
The Earth is not even 7,000 years old. On the Jewish calendar, it is 5771 (P'rushi 5772) with some 164-165 years unaccounted for-- so we may be in 5935-5936 at maximum. Thirdly-- and this was discussed before-- Magen David is Magen Sikkut v'Ki'yun for the Non-Messianic Jew, whether or not he or she intends for it to be.
