Excavations beneath the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem have revealed an ancient cultivated area, challenging long-held beliefs about the site's biblical significance. The discovery of vine leaves and figs suggests that this location was once a real garden, consistent with the biblical narratives found in the Gospels of John. Furthermore, archaeological findings on Sir Bani Yas Island in the Persian Gulf indicate the presence of a Christian community dating back 1,400 years, predating the rise of Islam in the region. This suggests that early Christianity was more widespread than previously recognized, facilitated by trade and cultural exchanges across different civilizations. Advances in technology, such as those used to study the Dead Sea Scrolls, are uncovering new insights into ancient texts and artifacts, revealing previously unnoticed details about early beliefs. Additionally, discoveries in the Negev Desert of Israel, including ebony figurines in early Christian graves, illustrate the diverse cultural interactions that characterized the region during this period.
