Enrico Tuccinardi and Rene Salm try to throw sand on the Caesarea Maritima mosaic

[Steven Avery]

The title is a bit ironic, as I find their claims worthy of careful consideration.

i have long believed Nazareth is misplaced in the valley, long before the Rene Salm stuff.
So he is generally irrelevant overall, but the Caesarea Maritimi is interesting!

Also, similarities to Sinaiticus

Coincidenes
Too good to be true
Right places right time
Means, motive, opportunity

2020 note fom Stephen Gorandon

Nazareth is mentioned in an inscription from Caesarea (full disclosure: someone suggested that was fake, but I don’t recall any good reason given),

Jan 2024 usage

The inscription in Caesarea mentions Nazareth.

April 2024

There is a great deal of literature on Nazareth, plus excavation, and the Caesarea inscription find, since 1912.

Sept 2024 usage

Given that the Caesarea inscription spells Nazareth with a tsade,

 

[Steven Avery]

The inscription in Caesarea mentions Nazareth.

Frederic Parpinel, following up on the studies of Kevin Kluetz, has done some work on the Caesarea Maritima inscription and Nazareth.

Currently it is only in Archive.org.

... the new page, about the 24 Priestly Divisions in the Galilee, that I have launched since a few days in the Har Nitai as Nazareth article. This page is necessary for corroborative evidence regarding Har Nitai as the original place in which our Lord did grow up until He left it for Capernaum, especially in the "Clusters of Priestly Courses" paragraph.

His pictures and maps seem to be maintained well.

We can note the questions about the inscription here:

Here is one objection:

Why are we mentioning Vardaman? He had nothing to do with the discovery of the inscription.

 

[Steven Avery]

"Salm’s argument is that the published evidence supports the view that Nazareth ceased to be populated in the centuries immediately preceding the present era and was only resettled some time around the late first century — most likely after the war of 66-70"

And this is the whole thing – the myth of Nazareth not existing hinges on a place that clearly existed before and after the time of Jesus mysteriously stopping existing at the time of Jesus, then reappearing again, with the same name, and the Gospel writers who were trying to convert Jews in Palestine inventing a fictitious place for some bizarre reason of their own, that just happened to come back in to existence.
What seems to have actually happened: an old anticlerical/atheist myth was questioned when the archaeological evidence showed it was nonsense. Rather than relinquish it, a few folks have set about arguing the archaeologists are wrong. Sad but true?”
