And I'll come back to this green jar in a little bit.

One of the things the Templars did when they captured Jerusalem and had control of the region—

they went into a place called the Telpiat Tomb.

It's named Telpiat because it's a tomb that's located in the East Telpiat neighborhood in southern Jerusalem.

And in 1980, there was construction going on on a hillside where they were blasting the hill in preparation for putting in the foundations for an apartment building.

And as they were blasting, they discovered an underground first century tomb.

Now, these underground first century tombs are not all that rare.

People involved in the Essenic tradition will understand those.

Are you familiar with an ossuary?

Okay.

So that is the ossuary tradition.

And inside this particular tomb, they found 10 ossuaries.

seven inscribed with names, six in Aramaic, one in Greek.

And they've been translated from the Aramaic into English, and they have names like.

These are the inscriptions on these ossuaries.

Jesus, son of Joseph.

James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.

Maria, Joseph, Judah, son of Jesus.

That's pretty compelling evidence right there.

Matthew.
