They are not Christians!

Have you got a archeological report or other article for that?

The dwelling and older discoveries of nearby tombs in burial caves suggest that Nazareth was an out-of-the-way hamlet of around 50 houses on a patch of about four acres (1.6 hectares).

Let's apply a little basic logic here.
You'd have to assume that most residents were itinerant peasants.
Can you demonstrate that?

What do you think that the residents of Nazareth did?
Do you know how large Nazareth was? (The city of Sepphoris's main buildings area was 7 acres....which was magnificent, btw)
How many would farm sheep?
How many might have worked on the Sepphoris rebuilding circa 2-1BC?)

[eider]

Do you think that Nazareth was some sort of temporary community, only occupied sporadically (depending on the season) like you see with some actual itinerant populations?

Why don't you read about the history of this hill top?


Are you trying to pretend that 2000 years ago you would have set up home for your family in a low place rather than a high place? This is an IQ test question.

[eider]

Are you going to pretend that there aren't archaeological remains from building at this time like you do with Nazareth?

No.

[eider]

There is evidence of more than 20 buildings.

Have you got a archeological report or other article for that?

Yeah everyone was getting too tents.

So the old Indian told his wife he had a very bad dream that night.
"I dreamed I turned into a TeePee - then a WigWam - then a TeePee then a WigWam - TeePee WigWam TeePee.....

His wife interrupted him and said, "STOP THAT, You're TWO TENTS!"

(yeah, better spoken than typed)

....Most itinerant peasants were tent dwellers.....

I think that was his intent.

I'm content with that.

[tabibito]

I think that was his intent.

I tentatively agree.

[Faber]

This thread is getting in tents.

I think that was his intent.

Most........... there is evidence of a 1st century building at Nazareth. Most itinerant peasants were tent dwellers.
If you think that there were folks living at Nazareth or any of the other hilltops around Sepphoris during the Roman siege and razing of Sepphoris then I can't help you.

You didn't answer my question.
Please show me the evidence that Nazareth was full of buildings in the early first century AD.

Actually, more than just one and they include at least one small home.

[rogue06]

Maybe that's an UK term.....


No..... you just aren't aware of the area that the building remains of Sepphoris comprise........ that's really really big, strange as it seems to you.
It might be worthwhile to read about the history of Zippori/Sepphoris.....??

No - there is at least one building, it has actually been found (in fact, I think there are two). There is evidence of more than 20 buildings.

[tabibito]

Maybe that's an UK term.....

What is it called in America? Footings? (genuine question) it never occurred to me that the term might be unfamiliar.

[eider]

Uh, rogue and others already did that. And eider, you have zero evidence, archeological or otherwise that they all lived in tents.
