Paragraph 1
Archaeologists working in the
of Nazareth have unearthed what they believe to be the
home of Jesus Christ. Following an
, 14-year excavation of the
at the Sisters of Nazareth Convent,
say they believe the first-century
is where Jesus grew up as a child. Lead researcher Professor Ken Dark embarked on 14 years of research and
at the
site. He says his studies of the well-preserved abode on a limestone hillside revealed "excellent
" and a "structural understanding of rock". He says this is, "consistent with it having been constructed by a tekton" - the
of Jesus' father, Joseph.
