facing the history of every day. ok, and that's something right around the wells. and i need to talk to you about just a subscriber id, listen to podcasts and will take you along to the right the even for non believers, jesus his present everywhere in western culture is a 2300000000 christians. he's the son of god, the crucified and resurrected, missed on the 25th for christians. jesus bring salvation to humanity and even mocking the starting point in the gregorian calendar. he's the corner stone of christianity. so over 2000 he is what christians believe about him has been shaped by church queens. the jesus was a charismatic man whose disciples were inspired enough by his message to turn it

into a religion for myself. and are you sure? although no, don't you see it was dangerous to ask too many questions about jesus that would have meant bouncing human theories. not until the 18th century and the enlightenment was the question of the historical jesus really explode beyond the religious disclose? who was jesus really did he actually exist? was he born on december the 25th? as tradition has it's the pulled up in this quest for the historical jesus is in some ways never ending for people have been just fascinated with the question. so it is fascinating, believe is 10 to the gospel, the ancient accounts of the life of jesus in the bible, looking for on the zeros in the gospel seed, western culture reflected in literature. the arts, cathedrals, paintings go to the hugely important measure. but what historical credence can we

give these texts written in decades of to the death of jesus? can we trust what they say about whose existence to sleep the visa arrival text in competition with one another? few holes. should we question the boston tricity of the holy sites in israel as being those described in these accounts? why was jesus born? where can we find his to some people every year are going to the basilica, then activity in the church and the empty tomb. and, but there is no evidence identifying any of these sites with the what's in the gospel could of the sites recently discovered by archaeologists take the place and could those discoveries advance all knowledge of the life of jesus. so the tomb is of course very important because we've got the music. somebody uses a one to eat it is you don't, it's clear that just mike every day who in the 1st century jesus walked down the

steps today by examining the historical evidence in israel. egypt and jordan, and by applying cutting edge science, kind of historians finally shed light on the mystery surrounding the life of jesus . beyond the tenants of the christian faith, believers known believers, and historians grappled with the same angels conundrum. de jesus reed's x, the for a round house of humanity. the existence of jesus is not seen doubts. he's at the house of the christian message is um also acknowledges his existence. he's the central figure of the full gospel speech. it in the new testament, the gospels, according to matthew, mark, luke, and joe. jesus is a paradox. he's one of the most famous figures in the world and his being

represented strewn and sculpted and painted. countless times. the bible is the most widely distributed and translated book in the world. and yet we know very little about him to centuries the question of his historical existence didn't even a rise in western europe. the creed of the church was considered the obstinate choice. below go easy to for a long time, it was dangerous to us too many questions about jesus sent him on proof of his historical existence to do so, it would be to douse him over into the country way christianity was the religion imposed on all such questions were regarded as we could to this is all this to nothing until the 18th century and the imagines of a degree of critical thinking was the mass of the historical existence of jesus. find that the debates did the man at the house of the christian message, the one described in the gospels and this

for the 1st proponents of the christ may siri pounce was no letters. it is according to the christ to miss vera unique. jesus christ did not exist by g as merely a mis to cause it that century me. and their argument is that the patterns of the vanity of god in heaven coming down to earth, being born of a virgin, that this is a mythological type apology that we know in mystery religions and other greco roman religions. a guy walks on water, he changes water and the line, the heels and the body that comes to women crowds do that seem to be more like comic book super here over spend historical figures. one of the 1st arguments that forward by christ miss proponents is the lack of direct testimonies of jesus is not

written during his life time. doesn't this merits some kind of coverage or mention by contemporary sources. progressed in historical research, complimented by the imagines of archaeology in the 19th century, highlighted 2 important factors. the oldest copies of the gospels that we have dates from the 4th century. they were discovered by chums 200 years ago. at the monastery of saint catherine in egypt, it held the earliest known manuscript to the christian bible, the co dex tonight, the news or original deeds of the codex, semantic this from the early 4th century. it was written in greek, within the lifetime of the emperor constantine, who saw the cooks. and i think this has been called the world's oldest bible. this is a manuscript of the very greatest pardons for people who make

a study of the scriptures. the 4 gospels of the new testament phone, the official message adopted by the church. they are also known as the canonical gospels. there are 4 gospels. unfortunately, we do not have the manuscripts written by the apostles themselves. we want to get as close as possible to the text that they wrote. and that is the significance of the critics. tonight, it goes. however, some historians view the choice of the full gospel is recognized by the church as arbitrary. because there are, in fact, dozens of other unofficial gospels and known as the new testament, a popular book name sicily. they are talking for gospels, who was the one to excluded from the church, canada, or later texts from a period between the 2nd and 4th centuries. there typically come from christian

sources, but have a hint of the pen testicles to jenn me. only would you not be you? there's a gospel, peter. there's a gospel of james. there's a gospel of thomas pass some very important information that's not in the canonical gospels supposed to loan vehicles that we need some fascinating to compare them. and so, but they is very little agreement to be found between the individual takes the score, say most, we can deduce likelihood, zillow, presume, areas of probability, but very little can be stated with any degree of certainty or to drill domestic security to the in addition to the religious accounts arrest of soul success switches the historians of antiquity, such as tacitus, see tony, as most importantly, slaves. you see the services that sits the lady. as you'll see, this is a jewish historian,

a man who collaborated with the roman switch. and as in his writings, the address to a roman population tells us that jesus was put on the cross by poetry assignment under the principle of type areas through christopher the 2 bath. as with copies of the gospels, historians are faced with the issue of the surviving uses. text actually being copies made by christians who may have taken the opportunity to strength. and jesus is masonic credential. the reference to jesus, it seems like it's been either totally forged or partially forge. for example, it starts out at that time, there appeared a man no problem with that. and then it adds, if it's lawful to be calling him a man. well, that sounds like a christian, maybe remember the copies of josephus were preserved by christians in the middle ages and passed down. we don't have ancient copies of josephus from the 1st and 2nd

century. so whether that's a strong source or not, is questionable during the course of the 20th century, proponents if the christ miss theory diminished in number, the lack of text directly testifying to jesus was simple to explain in a culture with very few people knew how to write information was passed by word of mouth. what small a sarah analysis of the gospels dates the writing of the text to the period between $65.00 and a $110.00 a. d. when you open up the new testament, you will immediately come to matthew, mark, luke, and john, they're all from the 1st century. we think. so that would be during the 1st 70 years from the time and to the step historians. however, almost universally doubt that these names were originally the gospels, then are a connection of over the accounts routine relatively soon after the death of jesus

. the fact that when we came down shows the importance of this new religion, the purpose was to spread. the good news, they were tools to convent people to the christian faith, and they cannot be treated as historical account. the gospels are v, a logical treatises. there's theological presentations. they're almost like sermons . and they're written to cause you to believe that jesus is the christ, the son of god, that has been raised from the dead and so forth. they don't have the modern standards and even modern history. you got to take them all and see then what we can sort out and that's the job of historians. so we need to analyze everything that science tells us about the life of the historical jesus, starting with his bus. the will seem really born on december the 25th on the eve of year one. we now really in

2020 full. these questions seem of this, and yet every year, catholic and protestant churches celebrate the bus of jesus. on december, the 25th, the end of the dollar parties on creating the christian tradition. the nativity is the coming of the son of god, shift a so so it's a major event in law fundamental to the history of humanity and drive. it is 12 the new to whenever we think about the birth of jesus, the christmas story. most people have in their heads, famous paintings of the manger. jesus is in a little crit, reduce a cows of animals around mary, looking adoringly at jesus and joseph. the date of december, the 25th is never mentioned in the gospels. surprisingly, references to the event this and even countries picked one another in the rock new

drone and found the song neither mind nor john talks about the birth of jesus. for the gospels of matthew and lou, conclude what are known as the intimacy narratives. it is my truth. matthew describes a start at the match i follow since as jesus was born under the reign of harry, the great just getting this window hang village. meanwhile, talks about a sense of carried out by a roman legged of syria called korea's and also the presence of shepherds and she's in the field to see the cars off the machine were told on body shop. what can we did use from this information? the presence of sheep and shepherds on the hills for example, is surprising in midwinter, even in the mild climates of the middle east, being out to post you in spring or late summer would see more likely. so why commemorate the dates of december 25th again shows so close also stays one in 365 chance that jesus was born on that day anymore because it's well known that

december 25th was when the winter solstice with celebration christian christianity has been good at appropriating days that were once celebrated in great pagan rifles . you always buy your gloves, but people realize that date has been celebrated long before jesus. it's the saturn aaliyah. this has nothing to do with jesus. this was celebrated universally by the romans and the greeks. we don't have december 25th is the date until 2 or 300 years after the time of jesus. when that festival is so popular in the roman culture and in the pagan culture of the time. according to this thesis, jesus was most probably not born on december the 25th, nothing until the $354.00, just the day to pay for the 1st time. constantine the 1st roman and proud to convert to christianity to rearrange the calendar to base it on the bus of christ.

you come and did a major pagan holiday to bed, to introduce christiana see into people's practices while the choice of the day of jesus this past may have been opportunistic. can the be deduced from the gospels in the christian calendar, the he is accounted from. the best of jesus, which should have been the vet 2 years 0. but what did the gospel say? matthew speaks to the best on the haven't the great the how much you found, the matthew talks about her at the grade level, who we know died most probably in the year for b. c was on the say to be c, but certainly not in the year 180. and the souls go see luke, this isn't that the date used as a starting point to run the census of queer areas which can be dated to what we would now call 6 a day. and those kind of crazy repeat the movie if jesus was born during the reign

of king herridge, that was more than 4 years before the official date. if he was born during the census of the roman governor, then it smelled and 6 years later, to pinpoint the scientist looked at another piece of information mentioned in the gospel of matthew, the appearance of the stall risk bethlehem only trundle the star of bethlehem. the star of david appears in the sky and leaves the may try to find them worse of jesus . it's a prophetic proclamation, dental. suppose it did an extraordinary celeste deal event 2000 years ago in the skies of bethlehem guide the magi from the east. according to scientists, the appearance of this mysterious star could well have an explanation of. i'll show you the met you use and we'll see in the gospel of matthew, this dimension of as the t ring above bethlehem describing something very bright. don't use it. this leads to numerous hypotheses is involving exploding styles. the

nova is sleeping though is stones at the end of a life, or even pulsing comments to see the best sizes that are most probable is a planet tree conjunction, which in this case would be between jupiter incessant do cruise. those 2 would have been observed very close to each other. through that time you will hate the silver i see pushing the root. i smell mortgage. thanks to modern computers, astronomers can recreate the position of celestial bodies in the night sky at any given moment over a period of several 1000 years. on the evening of december, the 24th 2021, the planet jupiter was clearly visible as of bethlehem. if we go back in time to december of the virtual, he is 0, nothing special appease. but to go back to the yes, 7, b, c, and sutton. and jupiter come close together as they enter the constellation of pisces. before being eclipse by the theme from the us, the apparent proximity of the 2 planets makes them seem as bright as a star,

despite being 650000000 kilometers of pounds. could the stars bethlehem be the result of this conjunction? 15 corps on these conjunction of 2 major planets would occur 3 times over a 9 month period. 50. that's what made them seem to very important. see good was about to be bone. and then it also occurred in the constellation of pisces, which in the after logical tradition was the element of water. and therefore, of nativity going through, you end up giving it to. this rat phenomenon appeared significant enough to find its place in the gospels. but when the new canada was introduced under constantine, they must have been an error in the calculations. yes, there is some believability in historical validity to this conjunction of the planets in april of 70. see that our calendar is off by about 8 years. guess what?

i don't think anybody's going to go back and change it according to this hypothesis, we're currently in the year 2031. nothing mistry is the exact location of jesus is best. since the 4th century christians have celebrated the best of jesus in bethlehem, and one is the oldest churches in the world, the basilica of the nativity. it was commissioned by emperor constantine and his mother. helena, led by the basilica of been activity is a very important place in the christian faith is located at the side historically considered the birthplace of jesus and his birth is very important. that's how distraught christian tradition attributes the construction of the basilica of the nativity, to constantine and telling us it is believed to been built sometime before 333 a d. s. we have an account from that year written by a bordeaux pilgrim who visited one of the things we try to do when we do the

historical jesus is find out about the archaeology. what evidence is there? how lana, the mother of the emperor constantine is become a very devout christian. she only has the bible to go by the new test. so she goes to best buy and she ask around. so she's probably talking to some of the indigenous people that lived in the country. she did identify this case, maybe somebody showed her, maybe there was a legend or a tradition, like i think it was over here. oh, build a church here beneath the basilica chunk. so in the growth who lived in activity, a 14 point silver saw in late in the marble floor indicates the spot where the event is set to have a cut. it best the inscription tia jesus christ was born of the virgin mary. according to tradition, the major i deposited that gifts of gold frankincense and

a sort of drama from an archaeological point of view that has nothing to prevent it from being the grocer lifted into tibits he saw it was a low offensive k did by christian oral tradition. which is why constancy and had a church built there? i don't all this is a, this walk on space is there is nothing to prevent it from being the grotto if then the to the t. yeah, there is no mention of such a growth. so in the gospels, according to john, jesus was born in a stable. luke mentions a house, once again, the accounts difficult because it didn't go up. so you have to realize that this was a cave at the bottom of the house, and the houses were very often semi truck le died from the gospel says that the living room was full. so a quiet place had to be found, which was the cave lowered down with the animals with the we have a big was this case, the best place of jesus? no archaeological evidence dating back to the period before the 4th century has

a much to confirm it. in fact, some historians doubt that jesus was even born in bethlehem. again, several theories have been advanced with jesus born elsewhere. to answer this question, the bus of jesus must be put in its historical context at that time, the roman empire was that it says that if it occupied the hold of the mediterranean and to death, i'm more than 60 years the sole source of the clock in the 63 b. c. when general pompei capture the jerusalem, the roman senate decided to install a king, an ally from walker, who was heard the great june to hone kit in order to go to the home at the south trip. okay, she was a great builder to rebuild the temple in jerusalem. that was the admirable side of his character. i know, but otherwise he was a dangerous paranoid ruler. don't a dictator who massacred his own family and instigated a reign of terror. send me a i don't, i'm an employee. so hopes were high for a liberator,

messiah report from a defendant of david, who could drive out the romans in liberate as real. he said yes for you in your mind is will keep on the try to make jesus incredible messiah. you have to be in the lineage of david, the 2nd king of the jews, a key figure from the bible. david was born in bethlehem, said the gospel of matthew and luc place jesus in the city, the, according to matthew, joseph and mary lived in bethlehem. then once jesus was born, they moved to another rest. in luke session, jesus, his parents lived in the service they travelled to best with him. joseph hometown, when mary was pregnant, to take part in this sense, as ordered by the prefect querying is the dates of the census. the does not match up. it took place in the year 6 a d, off to the bus,

the diesel. so but it's important that jesus was born in bethlehem to establish his messianic credentials. only if he was an air of king david. could he be the messiah? if the 3 missing 3 imaginary occur, perhaps luke was aware of a census without knowing its precise state used it to justify jesus, his birth, and bethlehem owners. and you became another hypothesis put forward by historians places jesus is best in the service where according to religious text, jesus grew up the city of nazareth. it's very important that jesus belongs to the davidic trying that settled them as the rest of the name was derived from the word. and it said, meaning also bring up david is on existence. even if the inhabitants were only peasants or craftsmen, there was an obvious correlation between the notion of nazareth, nazarenes, and davidic ancestors, to this ancient town long remained

a mystery for archaeologist, who could find no trace of it. neither was it mentioned in any text written prior to the gospels. oh, that's with me. it's been argued that nazareth did not exist because it's not mentioned in any old testament text above that. as i, whenever we think about nazareth jesus from nazareth, the question is does the city exist? because over the centuries critical scholars have wondered, maybe that's just mythology. it's made up. but in the north of israel, near the basilica of the annunciation in the modern day city of nazareth, archaeologists of on of the remains of an ancient village with a population of 50 to a 100 inhabitants at the time of jesus. beneath the comes into the sisters of nazareth, a 1st century house is particularly well preserved. could it to belongs to mary and joseph jesus. his parents. as

a club performed him up as you get is my firm belief that jesus lived in nazareth. i dig around the list, the discovery of these remains gives us another indication of what might have happened to nazareth susan, providing a spiritual and a christian dimension. we can do most of security to earlier. we can do massage. i thought it was rebuilt after some destruction suggests that this small house was important enough to not be raised to the ground. unintelligible stalls going up by the near the house. a tune from the same period was also discovered. it is proclaimed by some christians to be that saint joseph in yeah, to book and opinion. there is a tool called the tomb of the just man which is filled with around no stone and therefore associated with royalty. why in a small village is the royal town we have? no, she says, we are told that in this area, only 8 such examples of this type of 1st century harris, the era tune existed. he spit on me thinking,

hopeless all this to um, the dwelling connected to the family of jesus. after 14 years of researching the sites, this is this theory put forward by professor can dock from the u. k. 's university of reading. but what's evidence could validate it scientifically? what's his name for sure was that the site was transformed into a place of worship as early as the 2nd century, to accommodate questions whether or not jesus was born and not the rest. the gospels agreed that he spent his childhood to a childhood shrouded in mystery. the, according to the new testament, jesus was raised by his father, joseph, and his mother, mary. alongside 2 sisters, whose names around noon and full brothers, others have him going to egypt,

been learning secrets of a gyptian mythology. luke's gospel says at the age of 12, jesus went to jerusalem with his parents to celebrate policies. within the rules of the old city, built on the hill where the l. x and mosque and the douglas, the rock stand today was habits temple dump and where are you and your crew? the temple was a high place of worship for israel, a place you had to make a pilgrimage to several times a year. it's an extremely important site for jews. and as a jew, jesus would have adhere to the belief that god's presence dwelt in the holy of holies. and it has all stood you or scientists. we only have one story on the gods when jesus is 12 years old and they find him sitting in the temple, talking to the rabbis, and the doctors of the law of the tour. and they're amazed that is, was destroyed and 7080 me and never rebuilt. what remains of the temple today of

the stones of the western world in front of which many jews still gather to pray as well as 2 sets of steps. it's historic. he probable that jesus went, that that's also important for his masonic status. the policy is that in the 1st century, like any do the time, jesus walk down the steps. he went to the temple to talk to the doctors and stages of the time and prepare for his religious coming of age with others. some actually tell what you use is your told him of jesus on the steps of the temple of jerusalem under schools. he's destiny as an interpreter of the hebrew bible because jesus was very much part of the judaism of his time going through this whole thought. 2000 years later, it's difficult to imagine what jesus might just seeing when he arrived in jerusalem . but thanks to modern technology, the temple can now be modeled and this is what it could have looked like. it was

a vast construction with the massive extension started by having the great 19 b, c. the esplanade alone was spread over more than 14 heck test the found the top, the heritage temple was a monumental construction that has no equivalent in antiquity. you can imagine the people of the time catching their 1st glimpse of the monument with the holy of holies. 60 meters high, mixed with white stones and gilding all around the temple was so imposing that it could be seen from very far away. so for a young man visiting for the 1st time, it must have been very impressive with this experience of strength and jesus, his spirit to the wellness off to the age of 12 old trace of him as lost until his public appearances 18 years later. from the time jesus began to preach when he was

30 years old, his life is best to documented. what do the gospels tell us? the in the text settles in capernaum on the northwest insurance to see if got any problems that i can turn in. was the fishing village, with no ramparts or any means of defense to a small village of some 5 or 600 inhabitants with a jetty extending into the lake. the care lost on or not companion was like cape canaveral for the space exploration. this is jesus horn bass from here, he's going off and all of us coming back. he's living with peter. andrew james, john phillips. these are 5 fishermen and you have others as well. obviously. this is where jesus formed. he's going to of 12 of customs. what remains of coupon in the ancient city west so much happens that the name is still well known today. can we find evidence of the presence of jesus as described in the gospels?

this mountain church, in the shape of a flying saucer, has been erected over the foundations of 3 previous buildings constructed over the centuries. firstly, a 5th century taken no church from the byzantine era. before that there was a small square chat chance. and finally, oldest still, a house that stands out from all the others found in companions under the present charge, we have the remains of peter's house. the walls were completely pastored in the 2nd half of the 1st century scenes 1520 years after jesus. so this is very unique, there are no private domestic utensils that you would find in all the other houses . and there are lots of lamps, and there are large vessels. so most was going on in this place. this had changed its phone in flying, then there's the big debate about the graph easy. it's

a name was peace. so why are they rising this there? then we have the further development that goes on generation to generation. so many questions. there is no doubt. this is the home, if the apostle pizza with jesus and his to cycle state. jose science cannot prove that it is possible to reconstruct the house as it was in the 1st century at the time if jesus says the same face, jesus was saying, so this is a great value for connecting with those original events that generates is our faith. just across the street from the house on the remains whose discovery could prove crucial in the search for the historical jesus. namely, the ancient synagogue of company of the gospels, frequently referred to this synagogues here jesus freed the demoniac, here's jesus,

he and the man with a group of hand hears jesus give the eucharistic discourse in john chapter 6, this synagogue is the 4 teaching place in capernaum, and comparing them is the core teaching place in the gospel story. this is a treasure with the synagogue. well, the house of pizza, the car relation of the remains with biblical accounts, is striking to pursue nurturing this to all these locations. all this research points towards the existence in the 1st century of our era of a person called jesus. unquestionably, at least the deputy mall, surrounded by his disciples, jesus this message spread throughout galilee just says he, 5 kilometers west of compendium was the small village of taina, where the 1st of the miracles reported by the apostles. this has been performed in order to not the wedding and came out very toast jesus that the guests have no more

wine. he you're going to her request to help is jesus asked the servants to fill the stone jars with mater and immediately the miracle was accomplished. and when the water in the jars was port out, it was actually excluded line. as x today came to is called cosign content. at the supposed site of the miracle stands, the small franciscan church. every year, thousands of pilgrims from all over the world flocked to it to celebrate the legend . dream wedding faced the while, the sub or if the devout to sincere. some historians explain this miracle by recalling how wine was made at the time. the unfiltered must of grapes left us take the postage and the books of jobs when diluted with war to the mixture took on the color and taste of wine and became drinkable again. so but those who were you,

all the defense to jesus miracles should not always be examined empirically. we must also look at the meaning and significance in the context of biblical tradition, but his only bleeds, so pay or so cost. i saw new on file the transformation of water into wine was not just some redundant miracle. it has a deep d, a logical meaning. it announces public ministry and starts at the grace of god is overflowing with foretells. the heavenly banquets i should you have shown don't guess it is the miracles of the transformation of worship into wine presented in the gospel. according to john, is the 1st of the signs given by jesus for the benefit of his disciples. quite different people, many miracles were performed by jesus. according to the gospels, there was the seating of the multitude, the healing of a paralytic and the healing of several blind people. just every one of these supernatural healings is said of taking place in jerusalem. outside the zone,

diverge this evening of the blind man took place at the pool asylum street, and that's the jesus place to live and mode on the man's eyes and told him she's go and wash yourself in the pool of sy low on. that's when he's use your field record every i love to see just enjoying changing. lot over busy that john was an eye witness. she lived in jerusalem. she knew the place very well and he describes the pool frequented by pilgrims and fox. are all the details ring true for the time you saw it? you don't have anything according to the gospel, the pool of so low and was an expense. so for to wed 2000 years ago, pilgrims flocked to purify themselves before going to pray at the temple. for a long time, historians could find no trace of the sites and dr. dukes existence. some claim to the event must have taken place along the canal carrying or shoot me into the city, but its construction post states the life of jesus. then in 2004 below the temple

of jerusalem, archaeologists made an extraordinary discovery. we're sitting in the ceiling walk pool in the self inside off city of david's. it was found occasionally in the smaller coast. what we see over here is only the north and sides of this full. we know from excavations done that is continue around 50 meters to the east and which means that it was a very, very large pool. it goes to get in very well with the literary sources in the gospel, mention jesus coming over here from the galley as a pilgrimage to jerusalem. finding the pool of sila made use of them is one of the most important discoveries of the last 2 decades. when archaeological fines can come with the text in the gospels,

the historical character of jesus is reinforced. full 7 choice and i'm just a few 100 meters away, is where the final alice of jesus is. ashley existence unfolded for 2 millennia. one place in particular as being the subject of much discussion, the site of the crucifixion of jesus is to the once again there is a clash of hypotheses. as with an activity, the official site of jesus, his desk was determined by helena of constantinople in the 4th century. during the reign of constantine, the church of the home, the simple code was late to build the sites the holy sep, okay, has always been an important subject for christianity. it captures all the mystery epitomized by the death and resurrection of jesus shoulders.

according to the church jesus, his body was anointed with spices and wrapped in a shroud and then placed in a tomb here 2 days later on east today he was resurrected the 2nd they know every year many pilgrims come here is a way to show the faith and give thanks to jesus, what is the home cost? but how can we be sure that the body of jesus was actually placed here on this question? science was long, unable to help. is it because they just seem to that a stone and is very difficult today? because common 14 dating can't be used for examining how the real cause being county is one way of putting a date to it is that you, this is not until october 2016 during extensive restoration work was the tomb of the holy simple cut reopened for the 1st time in 200 years, the scientific analysis of the material deals of the structure

concluded definitively that none of the remains could be older than $1700.00. could we into russo let him know of the place corresponds base it to what the gospels tell us. then here, so while that's not proof, it does lend authenticity to the claim that don't follow sick. we now know that the foundation state from the 4th century, so with regard to its claim to be the tomb of christ. given the lack of evidence when we would need to find jesus as dna. supposing the body of jesus had not been placed that supposing helena was mistaken. another site turns out to be a good candidate for teen both with the biblical text and historical probably let's see there is injurious and alternative site for the chris of fiction. different from the church of the

holy separately, i got to go. gordon's calvary, for me, is much more likely implausible, is on the science. he's outside the city, but close to it, where everyone could see the crucified. as described in jones gospel, of course, if you come to the version of those all good news count very is a tomb located in a got an outside the old city, just a 600 meters from the official ho lease, applica discovered in 18. 67. it reopened the investigation on the to lift jesus, at least amongst conservative, purchased some design that don't we were in front of the tomb of the resurrection of the resurrected jesus. go best because why is the so? because the corresponds to the gospels which tell us the story with a lot of detail goes with that and they described going back to what jesus was crucified and see that beside it was a garden where there was a tomb that had never been used to submit the 2 things that the script is describe

a gun next to the crucifixion signs a huge underground system found in 18. 19 next to gordon's calvary suggests that could have been substantial guns and its location outside. the city also fits him with the text. mostly 3 crosses or even more could be accommodated to you, which is not the case with the science of the heavy stuff. ok. however, ok you in logical analysis does not support the theory of gordon's calvary. the problem is that tomb is an iron age to 800 b c 700 b c. and the tone jesus is put in was a new town that no one it is ever been put in. i don't think historically it works . inconsistent dating for goldens calvary under like a volcano illogical evidence prior to the full century to support the tomb at the holy sep. ok. the investigation had to hit to the end in 1980. an

extraordinary ok. logical discovery. we shuffle the deck, the 1st century tune was discovered in the top po, district, around to columbus, south of the old city boundary. it contained us to every so books is holding human . but i know this slab of concrete is a stone gate, an arch, and inside that arch leads is a tune in which 10 or shores are discovered. what makes this to me unique are the names in scribes on 6 of the 10, no show errors. the names are mary jesus, son of joseph. you'll say money. i'm in, and mara, matthew in judah. son of your sure the names are

identical to the names of the immediate family of jesus as nicer to these of theories contained the bones of jesus of nazareth sent his family members the age of the tomb. combined with the matching names caused a huge star in the scientific community. but what impressed us not by us, i mean researchers in the year 2000, we begin studying. this is the cluster of the names. that is a very important point because indeed that's what makes this group of names important and so unique. it's the cluster of these names together being the same, to the different tools scattered all over the place. but within a single cluster, a single grouping of names, the majors, members of the jews, is from the other to really understand these names and the, to appeal to what you have to understand are statistics. let's say we have

a stadium with 50000 people. and we say all those name jesus, please stand. so 5 percent of the $50000.00 would stand up. then you say how many of you had a mother named mary? maybe about half would sit down. and then we say, how many of you had a brother named james? you're going to have almost everybody's, you know, why? james is a very rare name. less than one percent. and then if that doesn't do it, anybody have a brother name a jo, say not yoseph not. you'll see, you'll say spell with a hay. anybody that same guy would keep standing. that would be jesus. it's the theory that divides the scientific community in the credits of the french, biblical and archaeological school injuries set them a series of preserved that date from the same period as those found in the top it to lose the share that shows it in the jerusalem must series have been studied on

1200, has the name ven trade in there, or perhaps the 200 or 300 name engravings. you know, the names are extraordinarily repetitive, for the simple reason that it was the old semitic tradition. to give a child a name from the family and we don't know adult stuff. i mean on of 53 all series arranged in this room. some names cop regularly, such as slow me any asia or it can do it. i know there are other common names, but only one jesus here. but as there are at least 7 or 8 in jerusalem as a whole, we know it was a common name. don't go home or you feel like it isn't really clear why this to be that of jesus. these combinations are quite possible without having to be linked to jesus and proceeds to the outcome of it because of the way that i let go go. don't say them all types of the matching names that are cool, intriguing fees, but a peak refers to much more godaddy's. they say there were several possible

interpretations depending on the particular form of a lesser and so on the. so the end result is highly to be as multiple that it's a nice story like a fairy tale, but it has no reliable historical consistency policies don't cease to heat. yeah, the, the last type offices is much more prosaic. after the crucifixion, the romans simply disposed of the body of jesus as they usually did with the remains of the executed the corvettes, which most likely after jesus was taken down from the cross, he ended up in a mass grave because it really was the worst kind of torture. when spartacus sent his slaves rebelled against rome and they were crucified. so it was for societies very worst criminal in the actual seems unlikely that the romans, which if allowed jesus his friends to recover his body off to his desk. on the

other hand, nobody questions the way he does the model there is or is the 1st of the death of jesus and its description in the gospel is among the most convincing evidence of his historical existence. saying that before, if jesus were an adventure character created by someone to found a new religion, he wouldn't have died in this way. he would have been stone to death for blaspheming all this is when you say more or less, they no take. so says he was stone takes and he was crucified. they pay the full gospels, agree on this, at least with a series of echo. today, historians are almost unanimous on the subject. the existence of a historical jesus can be in no doubt. his crucifixion is little cheap shows and there's no historical text questioning the existence of jesus to such a revolutionary figure. if the slightest doubt could have been prompted, it would be archaeological discoveries combined with an in depth study of ancient

text, offer us a better understanding of the environments in which jesus grew up, providing the most plausible interpretation of the events that took place move in 2002 years ago, school up elected. yours is your storage. so what we call the quest for the historical jesus is in some ways never ending up in our culture around civilization has been so nice to find the stories of rising from the gulf both and from the figure of jesus that we find it important to us go sales to these questions and pushed back the limits of our reading there in singles. isaac, he still says, is here that of course the existence of jesus raises questions. you must also develop our own perspective on this figure. for nice can you use not just a wise man if you something else entirely coordinated for christians who use the embodiments of god on earth the same. so that is absolutely unique in each for christians, the existence of jesus, his self evidence. such historians also agree that the historically existence of
