Summary- Ancient burial box revealed three years ago, it contains a mysterious inscription that can reveal the home of the family of the figure Caiaphas. The burial box is also called a ossuary which was discovered in 1990 but the inscription was just recently verified as legitimate by Yuval Goren which is of Tel Aviv University and Boaz Zissu of Bar Ilan University. The box which is made of limestone is covered in decorative rosettes and has an inscription. What is special about the inscription is that the decreased is named in the full content of three generations.


Critique- I think it is amazing how they found this. Also how there is a inscription on the box. Which makes this look like there could be more artifacts than just this one out there. Also maybe one day from finding more artifacts people will be able to read the inscriptions better since they have already seen it, it could be like a new language they are learning.


Impact- They have found many different artifacts that help them understand more about how things are made and maybe how the world and religion came to be. This will also lead more people to wonder what else is out there. Just beside artifacts like if there is anything in value out there.
