Wow. That's fascinating. Didn't they find some pollen in the shroud that they could trace back to first century Jerusalem? I don't know about that. I think that's true. Anyway, it'd be great to have an expert on who could really.

You know? Yeah. There's another species of evidence, not physical evidence, but interesting, about the darkness that fell over the earth at the time of the crucifixion. The Bible says the earth went dark for a period of time. And I'm thinking when I'm reading this for the first time— No, specifically from the sixth to the ninth hour. Right. So— Yeah, exactly.
