“Archaeologist Claims To Find Nails From Jesus’ Cross”

The ReadyWriter

In 1990, Israeli archeologists excavating a 2,000-year-old burial cave, discovered two nails crafted by the Romans, but kept the discovery quiet. The two nails found are now prominently displayed in an Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

A canadian jouralist believes they may have tracked down two of the iron nails used to crucify Jesus to the cross.

In the segment “Nails of the Cross,” which will air on April 20 on the History Channel, host and producer Simcha Jacobovici attempts to discover why the researchers felt the nails were unimportant.

According to the Gospels, Caiaphas was the Jewish high priest who handed Jesus over to the Romans for crucifixion.

There’s a general scholarly consensus that the tomb where the nails were found likely belonged to Caiaphas. Nails at that time were a dime a dozen, but finding one in a tomb is exceedingly rare.

“Caiaphas is known for one thing only: the trial and Crucifixion of Jesus,” Jacobovici said. “He may have felt compelled to take these nails with him to his grave.”

There was also the belief among some ancient Jews that nails had healing powers “and were a ticket to the afterlife.”

      NICOLE, I think it is interestin­g that these pieces of astonishin­g informatio­n lie about, and then suddenly appear as a huge deal around the religious holidays too. Did they not know about these nails and their potential history in February?

      C’mon.

  5. Few people know that they invented nails just to crucify Jesus. Before and for quite a while after there were no nails. So, of course, finding two nails that could date from around the time we think JESUS was crucified had to be Jesus’s nails.

    1. Yes @ UNCLEED, but I’m skeptical. If those are the nails depicted in the photograph­, they do not look hand forged. Prior to the early 1800’s nails were cut by hand and did not have round heads. they were made running hot steel thru a hole plate and the banging with the hammer produced flat squarish heads. so again I’m skeptical

      1. Yeah, I don’t know either. There’s so much corrosion it’s tough for me to make out from the picture. I’d need to see them up close in order to determine.

      2. The theory and this story is weak!!!!!

        They could have come from any one of the hundreds of other crucifixio­ns done in that timeframe.

      4. No one can definitive­ly say that 2 nails that are over 2,000 years old were used in the crucifixti­on of Jesus. It’s just not something that can be proven. Unless of course there was a note along with them that said “These were used in the crucifixti­on of Jesus.”

  14. I can’t believe this is a newsworthy event. Even if it could be proved that those nails were used in a crucifixio­n, there were thousands of people executed that way. tisall.
