The Cornish Island That Witnessed Britain's Introduction To Christianity | Time Team | Odyssey

Legends surround this tiny island off Cornwall's south coast, including a visit by Christ himself, brought here by Joseph of Arimathea from distant Glastonbury. The team are out to discover the truth behind the myths. Could this island have witnessed the birth of Christianity in Britain? They are hampered by the tide, which limits the time allowed for digging. Previous digs have linked the now-vanished St. Michael's Chapel on the hill to the Celtic dark ages following the Roman occupation.

Those stones with holes in them served a multitude of purposes from door closers to beam balance counterweights for scales. Only the large ones served as anchors--the others were often counterweights for well sweeps, window or shutter counterbalances and openers, you name it. Some were even used as sinkers for long line fishing, with a bladder or wooden float. What they do indicate is early settlement--but not really useful to date anything because they have been used throughout history and in some remote areas of the world they are still in use today. .

As a firstborn, Jesus would have had a bit more freedom than his younger siblings as the story about his Temple experience at age 12 demonstrates. He was not under constant supervision by Mary and Joseph. But, the idea that he took Mediterranean journeys as a child is rather unlikely. Just can't see Mary asking a random tin merchant "Hey, can you watch Jesus for me for a few months?" As a young man, his carpentry skills would have been needed for the economics of the household. He would also have been expected to help with the younger children. He would have been responsible for his mother also, after Joseph's death- in essence, his life was filled with duty. It's a nice thought to think about him playing anywhere, though.

I don’t consider myself a very religious man. And at the same time I don’t really want to come off as being a bit of a non-believer here. But the idea of Jesus Christ trotting along those beaches as a boy I’m sorry but I just don’t believe it. I mean we have to remember this was an era where in many parts of the world most people rarely ventured outside their own villages. So I would think that Jesus would’ve likely have stayed up in Israel. I mean maybe he would’ve gone up into pre-Christian Europe or some thing every now and again but I don’t think he would’ve gone as far as what would become the united kingdom. Now I’m not an atheist. But I think personally though out of all of this that is the one thing that just doesn’t seem to make sense to me. Overall though the rest of the story and such is actually quite fascinating. Absolutely loved the show. I was initially very excited when I heard that they were going to make even more however my excitement quickly disappeared when I learned that Tony doesn’t look like he’ll be returning.

The idea that JC travelled to Britain. OK .... here goes. "WHY NOT" ? Was it possible. Yes from Palestine to France then up to Cornwall. A centre of the metal trade. There is absolutely no reason to say the story is an impossibility !

With all the disrespect given to Catholic Churches in England during the reformation, is it surprising the chapel is no longer and thr graves probably desecrated.

I wonder what Tony Robinson thinks of Henry V111 desolving, and eventually looting and burning the monasteries, abbeys, and convents all over Britain. Monasteries in particular had been centers of learning and were archives for a more ancient history. Jesus on an island of the coast of Cornwall is very much possible if you are a believer.

Saint Michael, the saint that no one knows, until now. Saint Michael was the brother of saint Gildas, saint Maelok, saint Aneirin etc etc etc. He was the son of King Caddow of Strathclyde and inherited the kingdom on the death of Caddow. Caddow was likely the first Christian king of anywhere in Britain. Saint Michael is known to us today as Rhydderch Hael where Rhydderch is Rhu-Drack or red dragon and Hael is the abbreviation of Michael. Michael means he who is like god, therefore Hael is 'the God' as in Hail Caesar and Hail Hitler, meaning the god Hail Caesar. Ironically used by Hitler not knowing of its paleo hebrew origins.

BTW, it seems that when an Archaeologist finds what's validated as a stone lined burial but absent of bones, that, *"by collecting soil samples would offer a number of possibilities for estimating the era"* Various values are held in soil that provide for: If the soil is highly acidic, the level of acidity can give one an appx amount of time it would take for bone to be dissolved; the amount of protein, fatty acids, calcium, and/or actual finding of bone that's not visible to the naked eye. *(each 9f these would have a standard ration/measurement by type of soil values and oh.
