Jesus' Tomb: Found?

Archaeologists believe they may have found evidence related to Jesus Christ within a recently discovered Byzantine-era church near the Sea of Galilee. The church, located at the El-Araj excavation site, is believed to be built over the house of the apostles Peter and Andrew, and potentially the biblical town of Bethsaida. A dedicatory inscription in the mosaic floor, mentioning a donor and petitioning "chief apostle and head of the heavens," strengthens the theory that this was a church dedicated to St. Peter. The phrase "chief apostle and head of the heavens" is commonly associated with St. Peter by Byzantine Christian writers. Further bolstering the connection to St. Peter and, potentially, Jesus, is the discovery of intricate mosaics. While the church's location and Byzantine descriptions already suggested its significance, these new findings offer tangible evidence. The site fits the description of the church described by the Byzantine Christian pilgrim known as Willibald in 725 AD, who mentioned visiting a church in Bethsaida built over the house of Peter and Andrew. The El-Araj site has long been a contender for the location of Bethsaida, and these new discoveries add weight to this claim. The excavation continues, with researchers hoping to uncover more artifacts and insights that will shed light on the historical and religious significance of the site and its potential link to Jesus and his apostles. find the original article here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/archaeologists-may-just-found-jesus-120000278.html
