The Resurrection Stone

neilmarr · Post by **neilmarr** » Sun Jul 06, 2008 7:44 am

Here's a piece from today's New York Times that talks of the discovery of an inked stone tablet telling of a local messianic resurrection prediction (among other things) probably around fifty years before the alleged crucifiction and return of the Christ of Christianity.

The find was made some time ago and is probably known to some here, but news -- I think -- is only now reaching a lay public. I'd be interested in and grateful for anything you can add to this skimpy article.

We've got it in the Syro-Palestinian thread under Old World, Neil.

Join in.

Many thanks, Min. I'll try to find that now. Very best. Neil

LATER: Gosh, Min. That's some busy thread. I've bookmarked it and will work my way through tomorrow. Thanks again. N

Start at the end, man. It covers a lot of ground.

Say goodbye to Neil for a few months.

I think Neil is a fast reader.

Pretty fast, Min -- but before breakfast the old eyes tend to glaze over and whole slabs of text go unregistered. Just scanned the thread from back to front as you suggested and must have missed the discussion.

Now for a few more strong black coffees (perchance spiked with a dash or two of cognac to warm me up) and another go from beginning to end.

There's some other fascinating stuff in there, though, to see me through several coffee breaks. Thanks for the tip.

Hoots. Neil

The discussion on the tablet begins towards the bottom of Page #35, Neil.
