WASHINGTON -- A burial box found in Israel that dates to the first century could be the oldest archaeological link to Jesus Christ, according to a French scholar whose dramatic findings were published Monday.

Great discovery! Thanks crosis!

Wicked Find!
THANK YOU ;-)

Thanks for the link very intersting. :sk :sk

I think it's real. Or at least, it could be real. I think Jesus really existed, but he wasn't the figure, the bible made of him.

Excellent find crosis. Very fascinating and it really makes you wonder.

Nice find Crosis,
My year 11 art teacher told me of some scrolls that had been found in a cave only a few years ago which where also related to the bible , these scrolls a pparently discredited some of the miracles in the bible and made Jesus appear to be just as normal as the rest of us . One thing I remember her saying was that the scroll or scrolls declared that back then in Israel the term virgin actually meant unmarried , which makes the whole virgin mother thing a little more realistic.
Im off to see if I can find a link for you.

O.K. I found heaps of information on the Dead Sea Scrolls but they are not the ones I am looking for.
The scrolls I am looking for where discovered in the early 1980's and where discovered in a cave near th ewater not on an arid platue,platoue grrrrrr big rocky thingy.
