Two Roman nails from 2000 years ago, found in the burial Cave of the Jewish high priest, Jesus, which passed Roman, the crucifixion, can be linked an Israeli film director said.
The gnarled bits of iron, which is any measure, were three inches (eight centimeters) on Tuesday at the premiere of the documentary series about examines the question of whether she use the nails to crucify Jesus would have reporters Jerusalem shown in.
The series is air from Wednesday in the United States, Canada and South America and in Israel of 15 May.
The two nails were passed for the first time found that the celestial glory, the high priest, who discovered Jesus to the Romans, be crucified 20 years ago, when a family plot suspected archaeologists, in Jerusalem.
A nail was found inside the cave coffins you in one of the 12 limestone, while the second on the floor of the Tomb.
"Two iron nails in this tomb have been found", said Israeli documentary filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici, who presented the popular series called "the naked archaeologist" aired on the history channel.
"Someone went with at his grave, that nail reported under his bones and no one there", he told reporters.
He said the length of the nails and the fact that, that you were curved at one end with the crucifixion hands were consistent.
Since Caiaphas is only a Kreuzigung--associated with, that Jesus-the assumption is that these were the nails used, Jacobovici said. "If they were found in another grave, we would be not here today."
The discovery of the nails was found in the original archaeological report, but shortly afterwards that she before you missed photographed or sketched.
During his search for the missing nails Jacobovici visited Tel Aviv University and stumbled across two iron nails from the same time, which in Jerusalem before - 20 years discovered were that he believes that those who have been found in Caiaphas's Tomb.
The theory that these were the nails used in the crucifixion, is based on two assumptions, admits Jacobovici: ", which probably are the nails from Caiaphas's Tomb, and the celestial glory was only a Kreuzigung--associated with that of Jesus," he said.
"If you accept that these nails from this tomb, came as the celestial glory only is associated with the crucifixion of Jesus, she could be very well the nails."
The question why the man, who, according to the Gospels of Jesus sent to his death, buried with the nails to be, which ended his enemy's life would like to, Jacobovici suggested that celestial glory with guilt about his decision were withdrawn can have.
An alternative theory in the documentary explores is that he may have been a secret follower of Jesus, who do not recognize that he would lead him on the Romans in his death.
Historic record points for tens of thousands of people is crucified was by the Romans, but so far, it was only a part of the archaeological evidence to support: a fossilized heel bone dotted which was found by an iron nail in Jerusalem in 1968.
Gabi Barkai, a Professor of Archaeology at Tel Aviv's Bar-Ilan University, who 40 years digging graves in Jerusalem, confirmed experience the nails from the first century, but said that it was impossible to get a more accurate date.
"Nails are a rare things in graves of the second Temple period Jerusalem," he told reporters, pointing out that there no bones residues with them connected.
There were several theories why she might was in a grave which was brought that crucifixion nails were probably powerful amulets for the life after death.
But there was "no evidence whatsoever that this nails came out of the cave of celestial glory," he said.
Asked whether he believed that they were used in the crucifixion, Barkai was cautious.
"There is a possibility," he said.
