User:Brad Watson, Miami/Historic Y'shua bar Yosef

Born on April 17, 6 BC / 17.4.748 AUC, Jesus son of Joseph received 39 lashes and was crucified on Friday April 7, 30 AD / 7.4.783 AUC / 14 Nisan 3090 HC. He spent a record low of just three hours on the Cross. Apparently dead, he did not have his legs broken like the other two crucified with him. But the Jewish Messiah didn't die on the Cross: death is final. Y'shua had a near-death experience (term coined in 1974).

God-incarnated hung around Jerusalem and Galilee for 40 days, and then departed from the Roman Empire for his own safety. One legend has him going to Britain (Glastonbury) with Joseph of Arimathea.

Jesus died sometime between 30-70 AD. His bones were put in an ossuary which was placed in the Jesus Family Tomb on the highest hill in East Talpiot between Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The nine original Knights Templar discovered his tomb c. 1128 and important scrolls beneath the Temple Mount. They went to the pope with their findings and were granted great status!

The Jesus Family Tomb remained sealed until right before Easter in April 1980 when a construction bulldozer accidentally uncovered it.
