Archaeologists have discovered a 1,700-year-old stone engraving near a site mentioned in the New Testament where Jesus is said to have walked on water. The volcanic stone, inscribed in Greek, marks Roman-era boundaries of two previously unknown towns, Tirathas and Golgol, possibly linked to biblical places Gilgal and Golgotha.
The stone reveals details about Roman rule in the region, showing their control was more extensive than thought. Experts also found a 1,500-year-old amulet called “Solomon’s Seal” in Galilee, believed to protect women and infants from evil spirits.
Additionally, a sacred site in Jerusalem connected to Jesus’s ancestor Hezekiah was uncovered, including rooms, a standing stone, and an altar. These discoveries offer new insights into the historical and biblical context of the area, potentially reshaping our understanding of Jesus’s time.
