In the back of the boat is a raised section, like that where Jesus was sleeping in the story of calming the storm. The boat could accommodate 15 people, so there would certainly have been room for Jesus and his twelve disciples in such a boat. Confirming the places in the New Testament. In John 9 we read the story of Jesus healing a man who was born blind.

He then instructs the blind man to wash in the Pool of Siloam. The blind man does so, and is healed. But the existence of the pool of Siloam and the accuracy of the biblical account contradicts the view that such stories were later inventions. Until recently, this was thought to be the Pool of Siloam. By the summer of , archaeologists said it was without doubt the missing pool of Siloam.

There is little question that this is in fact the pool of Siloam, to which Jesus sent the blind man in John 9. That said, indirect mention of Nazareth is contained in Jewish sources from the end of the first century AD.

Archaeology has also added to this literary evidence. The evidence on the ground in Nazareth gives a good indication of the ancient date of the village. For example, archaeological digs in the vicinity of Nazareth have discovered tombs dating from the first century AD confirming the village was a strongly Jewish settlement.

The building that we found is small and modest and it is most likely typical of the dwellings in Nazareth in that period. Capernaum contains the remains of a church from the fifth century AD which is octagonal in shape. In , archaeologists discovered the remains of an earlier church underneath it. This had been built around what was originally a private house, which was apparently used by Christians as a meeting-place during the second half of the first century.

Today a modern church exists, suspended above the site, with the excavation site visible through a glass floor. Confirming the people in the New Testament. In Latin, the inscription dated to c AD reads:. James the brother of Jesus was martyred in AD The ossuary has provoked controversy as the inscription was originally suspected of being a forgery.

However, two eminent paleogrophers confirmed it authentic in However, recent peer-reviewed scientific findings show that this dating was unreliable because the samples dated were all taken from the same medieval patch.

Moreover, a mass of historical and forensic evidence points towards an earlier and even first century date for the Shroud. Radio carbon dating tests conducted in early by Padua University scientists established that the Shroud was likely made somewhere between BC and AD We can speak with certainty about events throughout history because of the archaeological evidence we find.
