John the Baptist Bones Discovered

(Before It's News)

Bulgarian archeologists have found new evidence they say supports the theory that a knuckle bone and other human remains found under a

 4^th century church floor in Bulgaria may be of John the Baptist.

When archaeologists Kazimir Popkonstantinov and Rossina Kostova claimed to have found the bones of John the Baptist amid the ruins of an ancient Bulgarian monastery experts were understandably skeptical.

The relics found in a small marble sarcophagus two years ago on a Bulgarian Black Sea island called Sveti Ivan, which translates as Saint John.

The remains – small fragments of a skull, bones from a jaw and an arm, and a tooth – were discovered two years ago embedded in an altar in the ruins of the ancient monastery, on the island Sveti Ivan.

A scientific team from Oxford University joined the research and dated the right-handed knuckle bone to the first century AD, when John is believed to have lived until his beheading ordered by king Herod.
