Historical Christian Site Said to Be Found <--click
Thoughts? For some reason this reminds me of the time they found that box and there was controversy about whether or not the box was a hoax. I feel bad for the Christians. Too much controversy. *shakes head*
I'm starting to think that since they said they found pieces of these jars not far from each other, perhaps the town, Cana, could have been a combination of various areas. Has it not happend before in history? Or did I miss something?
from the article:
However, American archaeologists excavating a rival site several miles to the north have also found pieces of stone jars from the time of Jesus, and believe they have found biblical Cana.
Another expert, archaeologist Shimon Gibson, cast doubt on the find at modern Cana, since such vessels are not rare and it would be impossible to link a particular set of vessels to the miracle.
If it's not rare, does he mean that it's not rare in that area or is it not rare across the world?
