This is intriguing and leads to interesting questions as to primitive Christianity...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Slight of hand and associated props have long been the province of the shaman as well as the flim=flammer. Good article on an interesting find.

I'm going to remain skeptical and wait for better evidence. Like bent spoons with the Jesus crest engraved on them.

Funny!
But, this find might suggest that early Christianity, at least in this region, was actually much more of a mystery religion than often thought... |
