About the Jesus-Era House
Just days before Christmas 2009, archeologists discovered the remains of a residential building dating back to the time of Jesus.
The Israel Antiquities Authority announced that the newly discovered house, which dates back to the time of Jesus, includes the remains of a wall, a hideout and a cistern that appears to have collected water from the roof and supply it to the home. The hideout is located behind a camouflaged entry that may have been used by Jews to hide from Roman soldiers who were battling Jewish rebels at the time. The discovery was made during the digging up of a convent courtyard in Nazareth.
Filming Jesus Era House in Nazareth Known to Jesus?
According to the New Testament; Mary, Joseph and Jesus lived in Nazareth, which was a small hamlet of around 50 houses at that time. A spokesman for the Israel Antiquities Authority speculated that Jesus would have known the house, as he grew up in such a small community. This is the first time that a residential dwelling from this era has been discovered in Nazareth and the find has caused much excitement.
