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.

Are you okay?

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.
Actually the apocryphal Acts of John, written around 180 A.D., assigned significance to a cave on the Mount of Olives, just outside ancient Jerusalem and the historian Eusebius Pamphili (a.k.a., Eusebius of Caesarea), wrote in his Historia ecclesiastica (or "Ecclesiastical History") between 312-324 A.D., that the Roman Emperor Hadrian (ruled from 117 to 138 A.D.) order the construction of a temple over the tomb -- just like he did, and for the same reasons, that he had temples built at or next to the Jewish temple at Jerusalem and the most important Samaritan shrine on Mount Gerizim (where they believe the prophet Joshua built a temple).
AFAICT, that Hadrian ordered that a cave which contained a rock-cut tomb be filled in order to create a foundation for a temple dedicated to Jupiter during the construction of Aelia Capitolina is not really debated. The only disagreement seems to be whether this temple was one dedicated to Venus instead.
Still, that doesn't prove that this was the place was where or Jesus was buried or that they are even the same tombs. But it does show that the tradition stretches back much further than Constantine the Great's mother Helena claiming to have discovered the tomb while in Jerusalem.
I ask again, is there a point to this? And where is the link in that post to Popular Mechanics?"It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable

It ain't necessarily so."

I hope that with all these quotes within quotes this is readable
From yesterday 1:19 PM, post #37
Originally posted by rogue06 View PostOriginally posted by rogue06 View PostAnother piece on Dark's claim of having located Jesus' childhood home -- in Popular Mechanics of all places, which allows you to vote on it.

Figured I'd take a peek at the results so far. Currently 54% to 46%
I replied, but then a little later at 11:34 AM, post #44

Then today 6:51 AM, #42
Note that you saw my post from yesterday and read where I cited my post from earlier this month and then said

I replied, but then a little later at 11:34 AM, post #44
Then I responded at 11:52 AM at post #45
To which you answered at 12:10 PM at post #46
But my post #37, which you responded to provided you with the answer -- one which you saw, quoted and responded to with your "And?" -- provided you with the reason:
