NAILS controversially linked to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ have fragments of ancient bone and wood embedded in them, a bombshell new study has revealed.
The nails were allegedly found in Jerusalem, in a first-century burial cave believed to be the resting place of Caiaphas - the Jewish priest who sent Jesus to his death in the Bible.
At some point after the cave was excavated in 1990, however, the nails went missing.
Years later, filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici claimed to have found the nails, even saying that they were used to crucify Jesus himself in the 2011 documentary, Nails Of The Cross.
At the time, scholars slammed the suggestion, denying that the nails Jacobovici had found were the same ones from Caiaphas' tomb.
But now an explosive new study has concluded that the nails are indeed the same ones - and that they were probably used to crucify someone too.
Lead author Dr Aryeh Shimron made the jaw-dropping find after comparing material from the nails with material from the tomb's ossuaries - limestone boxes used to store the bones of the dead.
He said: "The materials invading caves differ subtly from cave to cave depending on topography, soil composition in the area, the microclimate and neighbouring vegetation.
"Consequently caves have distinct physical and chemical signatures.

Or Baldrich in the “Black Adder” series who had fingers and toes and bones available in wholesale lots.
They should have made Father Guido Pope, but they never did.
Swell. I’ve GOT to quit clicking “Submit” before I’m really finished with a post.
The third alternative would be if Caiaphas stole Jesus’ body and put it in his own tomb. But that would take Joseph of Arimethea (sp?) out of the picture altogether.
So this story rates rather high on the B.S. scale.
They were buried with the 900’ cross in the Vatican Catacombs... (joke- with all the remnants found and kept by the church, the cross had to be 900’).
IIRC, over 5000 during the spartacus revolt alone.
Is this the Canadian archaeologist who had his own TV show? “The Naked Archaeologist”?

Leave Cory Booker out of this.
“Simcha Jacobovici” is the guy who used to show up like clockwork every Christmas and Easter with some new bombshell archaeological “discovery” that somehow demonstrates Jesus wasn’t the Messiah. Several have been shown to be forgeries.
Well they were definitely used in a crucifixion, but how can they possibly confirm they were from the crucifixion of Jesus?
Bull! Absolutely no evidence!!!!!!!!
Children in Bethlehem and Jerusalem have been sell pieces of the cross for centuries.
And disrupt the space time continuum. After all, it’s hugh and series.
Running a nail thru a leg or foot bone would certainly break the bone...
Wrong nails...
Would make for a very interesting story line. I would imagine these nails would have a curse or some such on them. Kinda like the Monkey’s Paw.
I saw a nail from the cross of Jesus in a Vienna museum.
Jurassic Park meets Pet Cemetery with a splash of Hackers/War Games for fun/techno-nerds.
BOOM! I just wrote the outline for the next $1B movie...
I liked that show anyway.
Discovered it while at home recuperating from emergency gall bladder surgery a few days before.
There are enough gaps between bones that an object could be inserted in several places and not break bones..where the bones could move apart to accept a nail, even a large one such as was used for crucifixions.
The nails found could belong to anybody. Jesus would have dna from his mother but would have an unknown father since Joseph was not his blood father. A dna sample from any other person would have dna from 2 human parents.
Ron Wyatt claims to have found the Arc of the covenant in a series of sealed off tunnels below ground. One of them was beneath the crucifixion site where, Wyatt claims, the blood of Jesus trickeled to the mercy seat atop the arc.
Is it true? I don’t know. Is the shroud of turin an image of Jesus containing his blood? I don’t know. Are these the nails that pierced Jesus? I don’t know. None of us knows. Many have only opinions.
If they are true, wouldn’t blood samples and mDna be the same in all of the samples?
Has anybody dug up this supposed arc? Not that I’ve heard.
It would seem to me that when Jesus ascended into heaven, that he took his flesh with him. He is said to be flesh and bone, not blood, flesh and bone.
When we are resurrected, I don’t think there will be pieces and parts of us left behind. Likeeise, I think Jesus took all of his parts with him.
But all we have is conjecture and opinion.
In the end, there will be no doubts as truth will reign supreme.
