Archeology 201 Guidelines
If Indiana Jones happened to be a member of Tweb, this is where he'd hang out.
Welcome to the Archeology forum. Were you out doing some gardening and dug up a relic from the distant past? would you like to know more about Ancient Egypt? Did you think Memphis was actually a city in Tennessee?
Well, for the answers to those and other burning questions you've found the right digs.
Our forum rules apply here too, if you haven't read them now is the time.

Jesus' childhood home discovered?

Unless somebody were to come across a title deed for the property with Joseph's name on it, I see absolutely no reason to believe it. It's like the Galilee fishing boat that people claim was the one Jesus taught in. And how many empty tombs have people claimed were the one Jesus was buried in?

A little too convenient I suspect. The well built and attested first century dwelling has a tradition of being the home of Jesus [to wit the much later 4th century church] but that is as far as Dr Dark can really take his theory. Everything else he is proffering is pure speculation. It is like the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem which is allegedly supposed to be the site of the crucifixion and burial, based again on much later [4th century allegations]. A veritable industry developed from the fourth century producing relics of Jesus, the Holy Family and various saints.
Of course the other possibility is that Dark was having a laugh, given the season that is fast approaching.

It's interesting, but has the potential to become a "holy relics," Shroud of Turin kind of thing. I have really mixed views on those.
