Great topic for an informal discussion forum, thanks, RZehr.RZehr wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 10:08 pm …speculative attribute unknown artifacts to “religious rituals” or “ceremonial”.
Take a look around us. Most artifacts that mankind makes are not for these purposes. I suppose in the far distant future, kitchen spatulas and spark plugs will be in a museum and described as “ceremonial artifact”. The god of Champion, and the cult of NGK.
This behavior of linking religion with artifacts is stupid, and is poor science, and is demeaning to religion by constant association antiquity. Which I’m sure many archaeologists are perfectly okay with. But I find it bafflingly ridiculous.

Spanning thousands of years, these 12 archaeological discoveries shed light on biblical events and figures that reshaped spiritual history. The unearthed ruins, artifacts, and inscriptions make tangible what was once only ink on parchment.
From the monumental Jerusalem temple remains to a fragment bearing Pilate's name, the physical evidence paints a portrait aligned with scriptural accounts - affirming its historical authenticity through the ages.

Seaside Town Capernaum is Confirmed as Jesus' Base

In the Gospels, Capernaum by the Sea of Galilee serves as Jesus' home base during his ministry.
In 1838, American explorer Edward Robinson pinpointed its location, with excavations uncovering fishing equipment, houses, and roads.
Archaeological evidence substantiates Capernaum as a fishing village inhabited from the 2nd century BC to the 11th century AD.
This proves Jesus could have made it central for performing miracles and preaching to crowds as recounted in Gospel passages.

The compiler of the slideshow obviously has not. Some of the images do not correspond to the text: that's not the Tel Dan stele, Tyre, the Western Wall in Jerusalem, or Capernaum. At least one of them is not even in the Middle East.
I'm guessing the images were assembled by AI.

That’s the point of discussion, right?
i’ve just started using Edge, rather than Chrome. i’m undecided about it.
in my view, outside of scriptures, little is beyond question. not that scriptures aren’t questioned.

I did too. I really enjoyed it. I Aced it. I also learned that most is speculation. Sometimes well backed and sometimes not so well backed with facts.
