John The Baptist Bones Possibly Discovered In Bulgarian Church

A group of archaeologists from Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit at Oxford University dated the knuckle bones found in 2010 by archaeologist Kazimir Popkonstantinov.

The results showed that it was that of a male dating back to 1st century AD who most probably came from the Middle East. This man is believed to be John the Baptist, the prophet who baptized Jesus Christ.

The remains, which include a knuckle bone, molar tooth and a piece of cranium, were found in July 2010 in a marble sarcophagus in the ruins of a medieval church on the island of Sveti Ivan, or Saint John, off Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast near the resort of Sozopol.
