Ancient stone with mystery carvings from 1,700yrs ago found in Biblical region where Jesus ‘walked on water’
A MYSTERIOUS stone carved nearly 1,700 years ago has been unearthed in a region rich with Biblical history, where Jesus is said to have walked on water.
The volcanic slab, inscribed with Ancient Greek, may rewrite what we know about the Roman Empire’s reach — and the towns it controlled.
Scientists say that the basalt stone, unearthed in Upper Galilee at the site of Abel Beth Maacah, served as a boundary marker under Roman rule.
It reveals the existence of two previously unknown settlements – Tirathas and Golgol – firmly within the vast Roman Empire’s control.
The stone’s inscriptions date back 1,720 years, during the reign of Caesar Marcus Aurelius Alexander, a name familiar to fans of the original Gladiator film.
Alongside the towns’ names, it features references to four governors who managed the empire’s far-flung territories.
Professor Uzi Leibner from the Hebrew University explained the significance of such a discovery.
He said: “Finding a boundary stone like this not only sheds light on ancient land ownership and taxation but also provides a tangible connection to the lives of individuals who navigated these complex systems nearly two millennia ago.”
The discovery paints a picture of Rome’s extensive influence, stretching from Italy to the Middle East, where it governed Israel from 63 BC until 135 AD.
Residents of the region, taxed by an empire 2,500 miles away, left behind enduring traces of their lives etched into the archaeological record.
Researchers said that this stone can provide a “unique glimpse into the lives of ancient inhabitants, the pressures they faced and the enduring traces of their communities in the archaeological record.”
The names Tirathas and Golgol are entirely new to scholars.
Researchers linked Golgol linguistically and culturally to significant Biblical locations like Gilgal and Golgotha.
While Gilgal is mentioned in the Book of Joshua as a key Israelite encampment, Golgotha is famously known as the site of Jesus’ crucifixion.
Researchers have speculated that the ruins of Kh. Turritha, recorded in the late 19th century on the Lebanese side of the border, may correspond to Tirathas.
The resemblance of the names “can hardly be coincidental,” they noted, though only “large heaps of basalt stones” were documented at the time.
The search for Golgol, however, remains inconclusive.
Some scholars believe a round hill near Abel Beth Maacah could hold the answer, though no definitive archaeological link has been made.
The boundary stone adds to a collection of over 20 similar finds in the northern Hula Valley, dating to a period of heightened Roman administrative control.
These markers were used to define land ownership, streamline taxation, and enforce imperial authority.
The artifact’s placement in Galilee, where Biblical history and Roman governance collide, marks how ancient geography, economy, and culture are interconnected.
It comes after an ancient amulet once believed to have protected women and children from ‘evil spirits’ was also unveiled in the Biblical region of Galilee by archaeologists.
The 1,500-year-old artefact is called ‘Solomon’s Seal’ and was found in northern Israel by a local resident living in the village of Arbel about 40 years ago.
Meanwhile, a religious shrine sealed up by the ancestors of Jesus was discovered in the ancient heart of Jerusalem, frozen in time for nearly 3,000 years.
Carved into the rock on the east slope of the City of David, near Temple Mount, the remarkably preserved structure comprises eight rooms containing an altar and a sacred standing stone
And experts believe it may have featured in the Bible, because the partially-destroyed site lines up with the story of how Hezekiah – one of Jesus’s paternal grandfathers – smashed idolatrous places of worship.
Thai cops detain Brit husband of ‘Lady of the Hills’ victim 21yrs after wife’s half-naked body found in UK beauty spot
A BRITISH lecturer at the centre of a cold case murder mystery has been detained in Thailand – six years after he denied killing his wife.
David Armitage, 62, was held by immigration officials in the town of Kanchanaburi where he has been teaching at a university for nearly 20 years.
He is now facing being deported from Thailand after a probe into his visa, according to Thai media.
If he travels back to the UK then police investigating the Lady of the Hills case plan to speak to him about the 2004 murder of his Thai wife.
The development comes more than a year after he refused to meet cops from North Yorkshire Police’s cold case unit who had travelled to Thailand in February 2023. He had agreed to speak to them but cancelled at the last minute.
Lamduan’s partially-clothed body was found in a mountain stream in the Yorkshire Dales in 2004 near the village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale.
At the time police – who were unable to identify her – treated her death as non-suspicious.
She was dubbed the Lady of the Hills by villagers who buried her in an anonymous grave in Horton in 2007.
Around a decade later North Yorkshire Police’s cold case unit launched a fresh probe and declared her death was murder.
The mother-of-three was finally identified as Lamduan after fresh police appeals.
She had moved to the UK in 1991 after marrying Armitage, who is from Burton-in-Kendal, Cumbria, in Bangkok.
They settled in Portsmouth where Armitage worked as a teacher and Lamduan washed dishes in a Thai restaurant, before moving to Rugby, Warwickshire.
The mother-of-three vanished in the summer of 2004 but was never reported missing.
The Sun tracked Armitage down to his remote home in Thailand in 2019 where he denied killing his wife.
He said there had been a whispering campaign against him in the Thai media but added: “I didn’t kill my wife. Absolutely not.
“I know the inferences are there but I’m just getting on with my life. It’s been a long time.”
Lamduan’s heartbroken mum Joomsri Seekanya, 79, revealed the last time she had spoken to her daughter was in an emotional phone call in 2004.
She said: “She said she missed home so much.
“It was a very short call. We’ve not heard from her since.”
Armitage was detained on Thursday, according to Thai media.
North Yorkshire Police said they were keen to speak to Armitage if he is deported and returns to the UK.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “We are aware of the detention in Thailand of David Armitage, the husband of Lamduan Armitage.
“We understand it relates to his visa status and residence in Thailand and is entirely a matter for the Immigration Service of the Royal Thai Police.
“Should Mr Armitage be deported, we understand that he will have a choice as to where he goes, which will include return to the UK.
Should that occur, we will again make every effort to speak to him about the investigation.”
Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly sent off in farcical scenes for trip ’90 YARDS’ from Wolves goal
ARSENAL fans have been left raging after Myles Lewis-Skelly was surprisingly sent off.
The 18-year-old was given a red card for a foul on Wolves star Matt Doherty after 43 minutes.
The hosts had just defended a corner from the Gunners and looked to break away on the counter-attack when the Irishman was cynically tripped up.
Most expected Lewis-Skelly to be given a yellow card, but he was instead given a red by referee Michael Oliver.
The wonderkid looked perplexed as headed down the tunnel and argued with the fourth official.
His team-mates and Mikel Arteta were also fuming over the decision.
