Archaeologists made groundbreaking discovery where Jesus 'walked on water' and it changes everything
An amazing discovery could change history as we know it after archaeologists found something regarding Jesus and the path where he was said to have walked on water.
Religion has followed a long path of retelling the story of Jesus, and his twelve disciples, and while the events told within the scriptures have yet to be proven, something has been revealed by researchers which could change everything.
A stone carving dating back 1,700 years has been found in an area which was spoken about in the New Testament book, specifically where Jesus was supposed to have walked on water.
You might remember this from bible study, but there was a time when Jesus had to prove to people what he was the son of God before they would believe him and follow his word.

This led to him completing impossible tasks such as turning water into wine and feeding the village with fish.
He also is said to have walked upon a body of water, as if it were made of stone.
What has now been found covered in Greek inscriptions is a volcanic artefact which could rewrite what we know about the Roman Empire’s influence on the land.
Experts in Upper Galilee traveled to the Abel Beth Maacah site which may be the basalt relic marked territory during Rome's time in power.
The slab talks about Tirathas and Golgol, two unknown towns which supposedly fell under Roman rule.
Dating back 1,720 years, the stone talks of Caesar Marcus Aurelius Alexander and also mentions four people who were managing Rome's territories at the time.
Professor Uzi of Hebrew University said as per the Mirror: "Finding a boundary stone like this not only sheds light on ancient land ownership and taxation but also provides a tangible connection to the lives of individuals who navigated these complex systems nearly two millennia ago.”
This shows that Rome’s reign and territory was far grander than what was previously believed as it covered Israel between 63 BC and 135 AD.
Tirathas and Golgol have left academics confused, as they have never heard of the towns before.
However, Golgol and Biblical locales such as Gilgal and Golgotha could be linked.
Gilgal was referenced in the Book of Joshua as an Israelite site and Golgotha was the location of Jesus' crucifixion.
Turritha, which has been spoken of in 19th-century Lebanon history, could be the lost site of Tirathas.
They also found an ancient amulet which is believed to have been used to protect women and children from ‘evil spirits’ as per the Biblical region of Galilee.
The 1,500 year old amulet is being called ‘Solomon's Seal’, and was found in northern Israel by a local villager in Arbel forty years ago.
Another find was a religious shrine which may have been sealed by the ancestors of Jesus in Jerusalem and was undisturbed for three thousand years.
Hidden in the City of David's eastern slope, the site has eight rooms with an altar and a holy standing stone.
It may have been spoken of in the Bible, as its location is referenced in regard to Jesus’s paternal grandfather, Hezekiah.
It’s a big time for history, that’s for sure.
