A Judahite rewrite of Samaritan history?

The German weekly Der Spiegel carries a fascinating article: Israel's Other Temple: Research Reveals Ancient Struggle over Holy Land Supremacy, by Matthias Schulz. The charge that Jews revised the biblical narrative at the expense of the Samaritans is not new, but this article claims that archaeological evidence has now been uncovered to support the charge. For example: "Not a single shred of archaeological evidence has ever been found to confirm the existence of Solomon's Temple." How might Christians with a high view of biblical authority respond to this article?

I crossposted this on the First Things: Evangel blog and received two especially helpful responses from "bcmd" and Raymond Takashi Swenson: http://firstthings.com/blogs/evangel/2012/04/a-judahite-rewrite-of-samaritan-history/#comments.
