Last year about this time, Daniel Smith produced a video on The Archaeology of Gethsemane.
Now he has produced another video on his YouTube channel called Messages of Christ, this time on the method of crucifixion by first delving into the history and archaeology of what is known. He wrote that if we feel it would be of interest to our audience, we’d love to have it shared on your blog. Of course we would! Click on the image below to see the video:
This is the text that introduces the video:
“Much of what we think we know about the crucifixion of Jesus on Golgotha is inaccurate. We set out to better understand the crucifixion. To more fully comprehend the suffering Christ endured.
What did it really look like? Do we have any archaeological evidence? And what exactly happened on Good Friday? To find out, we consulted archaeologists, physicians, and historians — piecing together ancient texts with modern discovery, and modeling the entire story for the first time.
Join us as we reveal what the crucifixion on Calvary actually looked like and what it meant for the cross, once a symbol of Roman terror, to become the ultimate symbol of hope found in the empty tomb.”
Enjoy watching!
