A few years ago, researchers stirred up controversy by claiming that he has found the real Tomb of Jesus. Now, they're back ... and this time, with a tomb engraved with what could be the earliest evidence of Christian iconography in Jerusalem:
One of the limestone boxes, known more formally as an ossuary, carries a Greek inscription calling on God to "rise up" or "raise up" someone. Another box appears to show the carved image of a fish, perhaps with the prophet Jonah in its mouth. Allusions to fish and the "sign of Jonah" came to be widely used among early Christians, but not among Jerusalem's Jews. [...]
"It's a stunning discovery," [First century Christianity expert professor John Dominic Crossan] said. "It's a stunning piece of technology. As a scholar, I really don't want to get lost in saying, 'Oh, come on, it's off the wall.' Yeah, it's off the wall. But look at the wall!"
Two skulls of Jesus...
One from when he was a boy and the second of him as an adult?
