Caiaphas Ossuary

caiaphas ossuary The “Caiaphas Ossuary” was discovered in 1990 by chance during earth work on a hill south of the old city of Jerusalem. Twelve bone boxes (Ossuaries) were founded in the burial cave. One, very ornate was inscribed, in two places, “Joseph son of Caiaphas”. Inside the box sekeletal remains of a 50 year old male were documented. The ossuary is most likely of Caiaphas, the high priest who interogarted Jesus after the “Last Supper”, and is one of the most important finds related to both Christian and Jewish history. It is on display at the Israel Museum next to the Pilate Stone and Crucified Jehohanan.

Hi Danny.. All of us really enjoyed the tour and appreciate what a great guide you were. Prior to the tour we were supporters of Israel. Since the tour our support has increased and we are better at explaining the challenges Israel faces. Additionally, we tell everyone we talk with they should tour Israel with you as the guide. Again, thank you for providing us a great tour..
Chris and Rose K., USA
Danny, Rose and I had a wonderful time during our visit to Israel. With you as our guide, the history of our biblical origins indeed came to life. We learned so much from your knowledge, much too much to remember. But fortunately, we were able to capture so much of the lesson on video. Your humor and natural delivery made the experience both educational and entertaining.
