Investigators using a robotic arm equipped with a remote-controlled camera have discovered what is being called the earliest evidence of Christian iconography in Jerusalem.
The newly discovered ossuary (http://www.bibleinterp.com/articles/tab368028.shtml) carries a Greek inscription calling on God to "raise up" someone, which is being interpreted as an early reference to the biblical resurrection of Jesus.
As significant as this discovery is, it may itself be buried under renewed discussion over the potential discovery of a tomb inscribed with the names of the biblical Jesus and his family. The investigators, lead by University of North Carolina scholar Tabor, are the same team who five years ago claimed to have made "The Jesus Discovery (http://books.simonandschuster.com/Jesus-Discovery/Simcha-Jacobovici/9781451650402)."
"This does reopen the whole question about the 'Jesus Tomb," Tabor told MSNBC (http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/27/10521007-new-find-revives-jesus-tomb-flap).....snip~
