Caiaphas Ossuary

caiaphas ossuary The Bone Box (ossuary) Caiaphas 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 pierced foot the the crucified man from Jerusalem.

For a full appreciation of the items, it is recommended to set a guided tour of the Israel Museum combined with a day tour of Jerusalem.

Hi Danny, Hope all is well. I just wanted to thank you again for making our trip so memorable. Thinking back over our eleven days, I realize again how much we learned about Israel’s history, politics and culture because of you and just can’t thank you enough. Plus, you’re a super fun guy, which is a true bonus. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your incredible knowledge of Israel, for your flexibility and planning, for the shared pictures, and for just being a great person to spend time with. We hope to tour again with you some day soon. Cheers, Vicki

Hi Danny: I was with Mike Willis and Andy Alexander and we had the extreme pleasure of being guided through Hezekiah’s tunnel by you. Also, I got to visit Hebron when so many guides would not go there. Great memories of a great trip. Thanks for your good work.
