Tom Davidson Richmond, VA Tom, I don't know about the dismemberment of the body, but what I do know is that the Shroud of Turin was once made available for scientific analysis, and that the stains on it were positively identified as artist's pigments. Not that I believe what I see on TV, but there was a television program on the subject. A strong faith helps some people through difficult times, and often tends to persuade others from destructive, animal like, impulsive behavior, but if their faith hinges on a artist pigment stained rag, then their faith seems to me to be rather superficial.

Harry C. The Israeli archaeologist Yigael Yadin published a book titled "Masada: Herod's Fortress and the Zealots' Last Stand" http://www.amazon.com/Masada-Herods-...0045181&sr=1-1 which photographically documents his findings during the excavation. Most telling were two pictures. One showed a large cave showing disarticulated bones which Yadin identified as those of one elderly adult male, several women, and children. The bones had been stacked: legs together, arms together, and skulls in a heap. No pelvises, ribcages, or vertebrae were apparent. Without mentioning the disarticulation he adds that more bones had been found at the base of the cliff below this cave opening. Yadin also added that these bones also dated from the seige. A second picture was of a large signet ring bearing two symbols. One was a circle with a cross in it (similar to the Egyptian heiroglyph for 'well' or 'village', which I have been informed was the symbol for the central personage of a household - i.e. the lord and master) and the second was unmistakably the Hammer of the Maccabees. The most straightforward interpretation of the signet ring is that it belonged to the Lord and Master of the House of the Maccabees, which you may recognize as the Royal Family of Judea. The last known Maccabee was Mariamne, whom Herod the Great married in an effort to legitimize his reign, but who (according to Josephus, IIRC) refused to allow Herod to consummate his marriage. She chose instead to consort with Herod's Jewish minister Joseph. This was some 75 years before the siege of Masada, where the elderly man associated with the ring was dismembered. In traditional Jewish belief, bodily resurrection required an intact body, so dismemberment was sufficient to deny resurrection to the victim. The Romans did not believe in resurrection themselves, but they must have had *some* reason to dismember these particular bodies. Insurance? Tom Davidson Richmond, VA |

The mystery of the Holy Shroud
Harry C,
I've read a little on the subject from one scientist who has done some research on it....bacteria do produce a plastic substance which has been found to mess up the carbon dating. |
