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.

“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Uh oh. Soon the clamoring for DNA clone
We all know Jesus was the only person who was ever crucified, so these have to be His.
My thoughts exactly!
Come on man are you disputing the Sun?? :)
You know what? Only meeting Jesus face to face here and now would make some believe.
And not even all of them.
Instead of reading all this stuff, reading the Bible would make one a stronger believer. And/or praying.
Mine as well......
....
WHOA, interesting concept. What if the Second Coming of Christ involves cloning a new Christ with found DNA????
Amen
There were ALOT of crucifixions back in the day. These could be from anyone...
They have found at least one case where the nail was left in the ankle bone, the feet were nailed to the sides of the upright (despite the medieval artistic rendering of them being nailed to the front through the top if the foot), with the nail passing near a nerve, if the person pressed down on the nails to relieve the pressure on his diaphragm, the nerves would create excruciating* pain. They would live and suffer a lot longer, which was the whole point to make a sufficiently gruesome object lesson...
* look up the etymology.
Without question… 100% correct! It is a bombshell! Unbelievable! Life-changing! This will tear the very fabric of time! Proof positive! The 10th wonder of the world! A blockbuster! Life altering!
>NAILS controversially linked to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ have ***fragments of ancient bone*** and wood embedded in them
Not Him.
John 19
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
(So they would more quickly suffocate, not able to push up to relieve hanging pressure on their chests)
32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, ***A bone of him shall not be broken.***

I still remember the comedian Father Guido Sarducci on Saturday Night Live in the 1980s (when it was good) telling how he went on a trip to the Holy Land and was astonished that he could buy “real pieces of the Cross” in Jerusalem.
Lots and lots and lots a lots of people were crucified.
There was a novel many years ago by Bill Myers (can’t remember the name) based on cloning a man from some of the blood from the Shroud of Turin.
All you have to do is read the name “Simcha Jacobovici” and you know it’s total B.S.
