Templar reliquary, or Roman Construction Site Refuse?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/7350166/Nail-from-Christs-crucifixion-found.html

Now before you go off spouting about how this is the most common form of roman execution, blah,blah,blah....
There is imperical ways of testing the natural "Patina", , on the meatal.
The context of how it was found, i.e. looted from jerusalem by the templars, and handled delicately through the ages, treated as a relic, is indicative of the well preserved surface on this relic.
 
If you believe this story, I have some fossilized Jesus poo poo to sell to you, along with one of his eye lashes and a nail clipping.
 
The headline should have read "Old Carpentry Nail Found." There is NOTHING in this story to indicate that this was anything other than a basic nail from long ago. Maybe it had been handled quite a bit. Maybe it was someone's lucky charm. Maybe it was used and reused and reused again.

Apparently putting "Christ" into the headline sells more copy or gets more website hits, or else this story would be relegated to the back pages of some obscure archeology E-zine.

I think you nailed it. Haw, Haw.

By the way, I have one of Jesus' cavity filings for sale, if anyone is interested. I also have a few of his baby teeth that have been set as beads in a rosary - buy now - priced to sell fast!
 
Does the article mention the name Jesus Christ (I can't actually be bothered to look at the article ... actually) ... it might be Geoff Christ they're talking about(?!).

Anyway ... dwelling on this fascinating matter it reminds me of an episode in the 2nd season of the Chris Carter tv series, Millennium involving a plank of wood belonging to JC's cross. Turns out its a fake and the real plank of wood is in the hands of a Nazi still living in South America ... :eek::D.

[don't worry kiddies, the Nazi gets it in the end ... and the plank gets burnt as the Nazi's house is burned to the ground ... oh dear :eek:]
 
Truth be told, I'm totally agnostic, I' just hadn't posted anything on the forum for a while, and wanted to see who'd take the bait.
.......Suckers.
 
Jesus H walks into a cosy looking Inn one evening , walks up to the barmaid at the bar , hands her 2 rusty old nails and say's ' can you put me up for the night "

And the bar maid says "Yes, but until the room is ready you will have to hang out in the lobby."
 
over the last 2000years over 20 nails and so much wood from the "TRUE cross" has been found we can build 4 croses from all the wood.....
 
I often wonder how many skeptics and debunkers of the UFO phenomenon go to Church? There is zero evidence for great creator of everything we see. Well it's reasonable to assume that God, doesn't exist in the form, we often believe he does. IF God exists he is probably an alien of some sort lol He have to exist somewhere that makes sense Heavens.. well he is hardly sitting in his high chair inside a cloud. We presume he looks like man. I often wonder why there is never been a serious discussion about this. Were is Heaven? and how did Jesus rise into heavens (did he teleport there) did a UFO pick him up lol Most of these Biblical stories sound like UFO stories to me. As for the Jesus Nail story another bull crap story
