It is Sunday…..and now….for something completely different (thanx to Monty Python)

It is written after Jesus was born the King, Herod, was pissed and ordered the killing of all infant sons throughout the land…….and also written that Joseph, Mary and son Jesus took it on the lame and journeyed to Egypt………….and now for the something new………

Archaeologists exploring the ancient Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchu believe they have uncovered one of the earliest images of Jesus ever found. The figure painted on the wall of a hidden room deep in an ancient tomb shows “a young man with curly hair, dressed in a short tunic and with his hand raised as if giving a blessing,” the lead researcher says, according to the Independent. Experts are now trying to decipher inscriptions around the figure, which they believe was painted by Coptic Christians in the sixth or seventh century.

Other digs in the area have uncovered temples dedicated to Osiris, the Egyptian god of the afterlife, but the Christian paintings were found in an underground stone structure that archaeologists describe as exceptional. The structure is “incredibly good, but we don’t know what it is,” the lead researcher tells the Local. Almost 50 tons of rock had to be moved to get to the tomb, and archaeologists are still excavating another mysterious structure connected to the tomb by a set of worn steps.

Is it possible that we now have proof that at least part of the story is true?
