The Israeli Antiquities Authority said the ruins are believed to date back to the third or fourth centuries, and include references to Jesus and images of fish, an ancient Christian symbol. "This is a very ancient structure, maybe the oldest in our area," said Yotam Tepper, the head archaeologist on the dig. full Article at Discovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted November 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I just want to mention that article talks about a mosaic with Greek words in reference to Jesus Christ. Also a mosaic of a fish. ALso another interesting fact was " a Roman soldier help pay for the mosaics." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
