CAST IRON ‘PROOF’ Nails ‘used to crucify Jesus’ have fragments of ancient bone and wood embedded in them, study reveals

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.

Ron Wyatt claims to have found the Arc of the covenant in a series of sealed off tunnels below ground.


I think that part is controlled by the Waqf and no one but “Palestinians” can enter - they were also digging out many of the tunnels sand throwing the finds on a rubbish pile - don’t know it they were the same tunnels

The Romans crucified thousands of people, even for small infractions, just to keep peace.

The odds that they were used to crucify someone is high, but of a particular person is low.

And they were probably recycled many times, used over and over..................
