Archaeologists
are "reasonably sure" they have unearthed a stone house in Nazareth
that was the family home of Yeshua Ben Yosef, AKA Jesus Christ, the
notorious trouble-maker who managed to piss off both the Romans and the
Jews who hung out in the area now called Israel about 2,000 years ago
The dig is mostly at the site of the current Sisters of Nazareth
convent.
A team of people,
including Ken Dark, a well-known guy in the field who has been
grave-robbing in the area for 30 years, are convinced that the stone
house they found "most likely" belong to the family. Personally I am
dubious about the "Jesus + Mary" and "Judas Sucks" scratched into the
stone in modern English, but the rest of it might be pretty solid.
Too
bad they can't find a diary, or an old AOL bill or a family photo
hidden behind a dresser drawer or something. Even allowing for that
this is a significant find.
