I wanted know what artifacts they have found in real life that was from the bible. Like Noah's ark was found in Turkey and so i just wondered what else have they found like: ark of the covenant, the holy grail, Mose's staff, etc. I know there are a few artifacts people are not sure which one they found is legit or that there is more then one that have been found and thy don't know which one is the real one. So tell me the ones you think are from the bible and have really been found.

I watched a TV documentary about the Indiana Jones movies and a guy showed this cup that he thinks is the real holy grail so i wonder what other cups they think is the holy grail.

Locals fix a miracle for the tourists

http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/nazareth.html

[Excerpt]



"At Nazareth the Jewish community even organised the famous bench miracle for credulous Christian pilgrims.



"Visitors to Nazareth, reported the pilgrim of Piacenza, were shown the book in which Christ printed his alphabet and the bench on which he used to sit with other children.



"Local Jews affected not to be able to move the bench, though Christians, as if by a miracle, moved it about without difficulty." - R. Gordon, Holy Land, Holy City, p 93.

Not so many personal artifacts... A few such as a signet ring owned by a guy who was a guard of David and stuff like that. Most of it is reference or actual writings and cities (e.g. Jericho was found, gardens in the desert which are referred to by Solomon were found, etc). There are also areas where battles are described and where weapons and equipment were found.

The Noah's Ark hasn't been officially found since where the supposed boat is setting is pretty much impossible to reach. Only a few dozen eyewitnesses have actually seen it or photographed it with not-so-great equipment so it's not official.

The "Holy Grail" would just be a cup, no different than any other cup during that time.

They've found artifacts of several civilizations like the Caananites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Amelikites, and several others. They've found artifacts from most of the civilizations named in the OT. They've found pieces of wood in the Ararat mountains but there is no way of knowing if they are Noah's Ark. However, out of all the flood stories the one described in Noah's Ark is the only one that would actually be a feasible vessel. Kind of lends credence to the Biblical account. They haven't found the Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail. The cup Jesus drank from at the Last Supper was just a cup and it is highly unlikely anyone thought enough of it at the time to hold on to it.

Noah's ark was not found. It can't be. It doesn't exist. The story is a rip-off from something else. No religious relics have been found. Those that people claim are relics, they refuse to allow to be tested because, like with the Shroud of Turin, now believed to be a work by DaVinci, technology is so advanced they are easily determined to be fakes.



Historical sites have been discovered, but all that proves is the times the people who wrote the stories lived in. History knows there was a Jerusalem and a Nazareth, just like there was (is) an Atlanta from Gone with the Wind, but that doesn't mean that story is any more real that what was written in the bible.



ADDED:



You poor deluded thing! That ark crap has been so thoroughly debunked it's not even funny that you believe it. It's just plain sad.

Archaeology cannot prove that the Bible is God's written word to us. However, archaeology can (and does) substantiate the Bible's historical accuracy. Archaeologists have consistently discovered the names of government officials, kings, cities, and festivals mentioned in the Bible--sometimes when historians didn't think such people or places existed. For example, the Gospel of John tells of Jesus healing a cripple next to the Pool of Bethesda. The text even describes the five porticoes (walkways) leading to the pool. Scholars didn't think the pool existed, until archaeologists found it forty feet below ground, complete with the five porticoes.

The Bible has a tremendous amount of historical detail, so not everything mentioned in it has yet been found through archaeology. However, not one archaeological find has conflicted with what the Bible records.

Noah's Ark was not found. Neither was the Grail. The Ethiopian Church claims to have the Ark of the Covenant, but keeps delaying debuting it to the public (or to anyone in general). So I don't buy that they have it. Frankly, I don't think it will ever be found.

it is nonsense, basically like something of the advent Museum. artwork on cave partitions could be interpreted many approaches with a splash mind's eye. there is not any good reason to assert that any coach adult adult males and dinosaurs at the same time. Scientists have not discovered any data in besides that tyrannosaurs lived under sixty 5 million years in the past. i've got considered some cave artwork, and so on. in creationist literature. As I say, there is not any reason to have faith they coach dinosaurs with adult adult males. This answer you quote is in keeping with lies. i'm Catholic and a technology student in college. Kent Hovind and Ken Ham are liars of the worst style who provide Christianity a bad call. purely very ignorant fundamentalist Protestants heed their dumb lies.

Recently over the last year a piece of pottery with the name Goliath was found and what makes in interesting it was found in the biblical city of Gath, also a tablet was found having written on it the House of David proving he did exist also proves what God said he would do by making the rocks speak.Symbolically they are.

None. There is no ark either, the story is just an exaggerated tsunami survival story from the stone ages.



Most Christian artifacts from the Bibles are actually just stories from older mythologies.

Somewhere today is the spear/sword that was used to pierce Jesus' side - The Holy Lance.

I'm sure clay jars and pots were found from that time period but they are too insignificant to count
