?!?!?!
Where did you get that piece of info?

Just the other day, Min said there were a bunch of tombs with the name Jesus on them, found in Israel... among many other names, of course, as would be expected...
As we have discussed several times the letter "J" didn't exist before an Italian guy created it around 1520.  It didn't make its way into written documents until the early 1600s.  Therefore all "J" words were invented after that time.  So what did they call Jews before the letter "J" was invented?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J

That's one of the ways you can determine if a story is BS.  It's like the Book of Mormon saying that steel existed in the ancient Western Hemisphere.
