    The point for all you nay sayers is that up until these finds people could fuss and say the bible is a lie because nazareth wasn't there when christ was born. Well now there is atleast proof that yes there was a nazareth at the time of christ. No it wasn't a large place but it was a village of sorts which is all the bible said. It never claimed that nazareth was a huge metropolis.

    Yes, after centuries of excavation, there is now evidence that in the 1st century, there was at least one house in the "city" of Nazareth.

    Those centuries of excavation suggests that in the 1st century, there was a farm, a graveyard, and a well at Nazareth. The "city" does not exist in any Roman or Jewish records of the 1st century.

    That's very nice. Did you know that there is more than one house in Nazareth? Or that Nazareth AS A CITY didn't even EXIST until several centuries AFTER Christ?
