  1. 1. The Final Days Of Jesus

    The Archaeological Evidence

    An archaeological and historical reconstruction of the final days in Jerusalem, correlating Gospel accounts with the city’s topography, architecture, and material remains to trace events from the last meal to the crucifixion and burial. It reevaluates the locations of key sites such as the praetorium, Golgotha, and the tomb, challenges popular traditions like the Via Dolorosa and the Garden Tomb, and explains burial customs and urban layouts of the period. The result is a grounded, evidence-based narrative that distinguishes well-supported conclusions from more tentative possibilities.
