A stunning archaeological breakthrough may rewrite the story of one of the Bible’s most iconic miracles.
Near a site referenced in the New Testament—believed to be the place where Jesus walked on water—researchers have unearthed a 1,700-year-old inscribed stone that could dramatically reshape our understanding of the ancient world and the Roman Empire’s grip on biblical lands.
While the supernatural elements of scripture remain a matter of faith, this physical discovery could provide historical context for events long held sacred by millions.
The stone, carved in Greek and made of volcanic basalt, was uncovered at the Abel Beth Maacah site in Upper Galilee—an area steeped in biblical significance. The inscription names four Roman officials, including Caesar Marcus Aurelius Alexander, and refers to two mysterious towns: Tirathas and Golgol.
Scholars are intrigued, as neither town has ever appeared in known historical records. Some experts believe “Golgol” may be linked to biblical locations such as Gilgal or even Golgotha—the hill where Jesus was crucified. Tirathas might correspond to “Turritha,” a 19th-century reference from Lebanon’s historical texts.
“This kind of boundary stone offers more than just a glimpse into ancient land ownership and taxation—it gives us a direct line to the people who lived and governed during the height of Rome’s power in the region,” said Professor Uzi from the Hebrew University, as reported by The Mirror.
Incredibly, this isn’t the only find shaking up the academic and religious communities.
Archaeologists have also uncovered a 1,500-year-old amulet known as “Solomon’s Seal” in northern Israel, said to have been used to protect women and children from evil spirits. The object was discovered decades ago by a local farmer in the Galilean village of Arbel, but only recently analyzed in full.
Meanwhile, deep in the City of David in Jerusalem, a sacred site sealed for nearly 3,000 years may have ties to Jesus’ royal ancestry. Hidden within eight chambers are a standing stone, an altar, and remnants of worship believed to be linked to King Hezekiah—an ancestor of Jesus mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew.
Each of these discoveries adds new layers to the ancient spiritual narrative, blending historical record with religious tradition.
While faith may not require physical proof, moments like this bridge the past with the present, offering a tangible glimpse into the lives, beliefs, and legacies of those who shaped our spiritual history.
This could be more than just an archaeological milestone—it may mark a turning point in how the world understands the ancient foundations of Christianity.
