[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The greatest artifact ever is the shroud of Turin. The inexplicable and impossible to replicate features combined with being an image of crucified Jesus makes it the most fascinating object in human history.

Ok fair point but we are talking about recent discoveries - it is exciting that we still can make incredible new archeological discoveries that give us insights into the past. [/quote]

Sorry people are threadjacking, op. Atlantis and the Shroud of Turin need their own threads. You are correct to point this out and try to keep the thread on topic. [/quote]m

Thank you. I appreciate it. Plus there really are so many extraordinary recent archeological discoveries related to Bible stories or completed excavations of previous discoveries.

For example: this one may take us back to the earthquake recorded at the time of the crucifixion.
[b]A Temple Mount banquet hall[/b]

A luxurious public building located next to the Temple Mount has been excavated and opened to public tours. Part of the building was first discovered by British archaeologist Charles Warren in 1867, and the site was partially excavated in 1966. Now that the excavation is complete, archaeologists have dated its construction to A.D. 20—during the lifetime of Jesus.

The building contained two identical chambers, separated by an elaborate fountain. The luxurious nature of the facility and its adjacency to the Temple Mount indicates it was probably used by the elite members of the first-century Jewish community, the families of the high priests, and other leading religious figures.

Archaeologists say it was damaged by an earthquake in A.D. 33, then later rebuilt and reconfigured into three vaulted halls. The destruction date suggests possible evidence of the earthquake recorded in the Gospel accounts at the crucifixion of Jesus.[/quote]

There are archaeological discoveries that confirm biblical places and events constantly! Thank you for sharing.[/quote]
