Nazareth

RE: Nazareth
Yeah, well.....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazareth#Kokh_tombs


Quote:Kokh tombs

Noteworthy is that all the post-Iron Age tombs in the Nazareth basin (approximately two dozen) are of the kokh (plural kokhim) or later types; this type probably first appeared in Galilee in the middle of the 1st century AD.

Josephus reports that P. Quinctillius Varus, then Imperial Legate of Syria, put down the revolts which broke out upon the death of Herod the Great in 4 BC.  Supposedly he captured and burned Sepphoris but archaeology has failed to confirm this as there is no destruction layer.  Herod Antipas began a rebuilding project or perhaps an expansion of the site after he was confirmed as tetrarch of Galilee.  It is not out of the realm of possibly that jewish residents of Sepphoris looked for a quiet place to bury their dead.  Sepphoris was a Greco-Roman city.  Again, when Josephus brought the Great Revolt to Galilee the citizens of both Tiberias and Sepphoris invited him to go fuck himself.  They wanted no part of this jewish insanity!
