Archaeologists Found a Christian Artifact Never Seen Before | Watch Full Video Below | Subscribe

Researchers have uncovered an ancient Christian artifact near the Sea of Galilee unlike anything archaeologists have previously documented. The discovery is a carved marble block with unusual bowl-shaped depressions that, so far, has no known archaeological parallel. Because of its unique design, some researchers suggest it may offer new insight into forms of Christian worship that disappeared from the historical record more than a thousand years ago. It's important to be careful with claims like this. This artifact did not belong to Jesus, and it does not date to the first century. Archaeology rarely "proves" theology. Instead, discoveries like this help historians better understand the people, places, and practices of ancient Christian communities. One common criticism is that Christianity is merely a legend disconnected from real history. While artifacts cannot prove every Christian belief, discoveries throughout Israel and the surrounding region continue to demonstrate that Christianity developed within real historical communities, in real places, leaving behind real material remains that archaeologists can study.
