Archaeologists' Findings
Bear Out Bible Stories
Archaeologists’ findings oftimes serve to further establish the authenticity of the story of Jesus. Only recently a group discovered the name of Jesus, carved before 70 A.D. and perhaps by an eyewitness to the crucifixion, among inscriptions on 11 early Christian burial urns found in a cave on the Jerusalem-Bethelem road.
The urns may provide the “old. est archaeological record of Christianity" and an historical confirmation of the trial and era -ifixion of Christ, the archaeologists said.
A sect of Hebrews, who followed Jesus, denounced Pontius Pilate and mourned the crucifixion of their leader, was believed to have left the writings on Hie urns in the cave.
The Hebrew and Aramic inscriptions contained common names like Miriam, Simeon, and Matti. The Creek inscriptions and symbols beside them contained references to Christianity and, it seems probable, to the crucifixion.
