"These were people who had seriously fallen out of favor with the state..."

A master of understatement.

Confusing dates in the article. First or second Century or third or fourth Century? One for the town, one for the skeleton?

I wonder if they could tell anything about where the nails were placed in the hands?

Hands weren’t necessarily nailed, as arms were also tied with rope. The nail thru the heel was most likely to prevent the victim from easing their suffering by lifting themselves up with their feet, to make breathing easier. The Romans were quite clever in means of suffering...........................

That is strange to find the author’s logo on the skeleton.

Michael Savage’s brilliant tie of Bible truths to impeachment

“The Democrats and the deep state want to crucify Trump without a shred of evidence,” Savage wrote. “This is history repeating itself.”

“How do,they know he didn’t just step on a nail and die from shock?”

It’s hard to tell from the one photo, but the nail appears to come through from the top. I believe we are seeing the bottom of the foot. Also, having stepped on a much smaller, pointier nail with a bare foot...it stuck into the bone, but I stopped putting weight on it before it could have gone through. It took two men pulling to help me get the nail out: one on the board and one on my bent knee. Penetration into the bone was probably 1/8th inch or so, then about 1 3/4 of meat from bottom of foot to the bone.

Ouch! Nothing hurts quite like a bone Injury, except maybe tetanus shots lol (actually the shingles shot was no picnic either lol).

I was thinking more like falling on a nail. Ive put a couple of nails,nails, my feet over the years,, once I fell from about 2 feet or so into a nail once, right up through the foot it went, was in a pig pen, right in the slop area. A board had fallen off and was buried in the slop. I was climbing over the fence, and slipped off. It caused my first tetanus shot which I think hurt more than the nail did.

Yeah it does look like it goes through the top. Wonder if he was a masochist lol? but yeah likely crucified.

“They” say that Christ had the nails placed in his wrists, between the two arm bones and the hand bones, as the wrist would hold the weight better than the hands, but I think I read they also tied the arms too, or sometimes just tied the arms with no nails.

Like what, a really clumsy roofer?

Maybe he worked construction and couldn’t afford safety boots.

Hi.

I know of a Hebrew guy the Romans did this to back about 2000 years ago. Matter of fact His birthday is coming up soon.

Oh, and when He comes back, He is going to be really pissed.
