A
tomb in Jerusalem was discovered in 1973 when some apartment blocks
were being prepared to be built. It was briefly (but not thoroughly)
excavated in 1981, then resealed because of protests by
Ultra-Orthodox Jews. It is dated as being typical of a Jewish tomb
from somewhere between 20-70 C.E. Between 2009-2011 it was reexamined
by means of a robotic camera and it was discovered that it is most
likely to be a VERY EARLY CHRISTIAN TOMB.
What
is so remarkable about that?
They
found inscriptions (one possible, the other definite) with:
GREEK TRANSLITERATIONS OF
THE [Heb., ( יהוה
)] TETRAGRAMMATON
Gk.,
( ΠΙΠΙ ) = possible
Gk.,
( ΙΑΙΟ ) = definite
