For example, he excavates a burial site called the Shroud Tomb near Mount Zion, in which was found human hair and a shroud. From the analysis of these, he hypothesizes how Jesus's body might have been prepared for burial and presents the general context for Jewish burials in first-century Palestine. Illustrating a common weakness of similar archaeological works, seasoned archaeologist Gibson offers robust depictions of digs, but most of his significant conclusions are conjectures at best. He establishes that leprosy did indeed exist in Jesus's time, thus biblical references to it were not mistaken identifications of psoriasis or related skin disorders. But, like any responsible archaeologist, he can only explain how this particular burial might reflect burials in Jesus's time and how goods found in association might have been ritually used. This readable work with ample endnotes is recommended where interest warrants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScience \u0026amp; Math\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarth Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeography\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eHistoric\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"HarperOne","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":49202976915646,"sku":"0061458481-4","price":22.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51GQYS8FMIL._SL500.jpg?v=1790869392","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/0061458481-the_final_days_of_jesus_the_archaeological_evidence","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
