ISRAELI archaeologists recently discovered the remains of a victim of the ancient punishment of crucifixion in a hillside cave near Jerusalem. The skeleton found included the nail-pierced heel bones of a young man executed about 2,000 years ago. Some immediately speculated - could the skeleton be that of Jesus Christ? What is the evidence? Said Dr. Avraham Biran, director of the Israeli Department of Antiquities and Museums, "The statistical odds against it are overwhelming." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
