Who actually READS the bible nowadays' 😛

😛 I just watched the Simpson's movie. I love the bit at the beginning when Homer flicks through the Bible in Church and says something like "I can't find any answers here!"

Though the question I still have is how many of these finds are legitimate?

How many different jesus tombs have we found? At least two.. one with named graves and one with his burial shroud... Then there was another that was supposed to be something big but dropped off the radar...

The Bible "nowadays" is arguably not that different from what it was back then in terms of content. In terms of format it's vastly different. nowadays most Christians prefer to read the good book in a book format as opposed to on a scroll 😛

As for the supposed tombs of Jesus, well there have been several supposed finds in the last few years of tombs still containing the bodies. However archaeologists are still debating as to if these could be the tombs of Jesus of Nazareth and not just a tomb of any bloke form that time. The lack of recent news on the subject suggests they got the wrong tombs.

I went to Israel in 2001 and visited two likely locations of the tomb that may have held Jesus. On one of those, someone has stuck a wooden sign that reads; "He is not here, he has risen."

Interesting topic but I have digressed from the main thread topic, I do apologise.............

Alan Moore claimed it was just a random number he picked, to show that the standard Marvel Earth & Universe was no more important than any other alternate Earth. Unlike DC with the Earth 1 & 2 and so forth (how come the older heroes were on Earth-2? It never made sense.)

yea... according to accounts, Alan Moore just picked the number at random as an effort to show that the Marvel Earth was just one of many.

but then again, knowing Alan Moore, he could have some strange numerological significance attached to it that is far too arcane for any of us ever to understand.

Nah, they are just daredevils that's all.

That explains it

Actually what you mention Creshosk is just a coincidence.
There is nothing special about the number confirmed, the guy who decided on Earth 616 just didn't want it to be so silly as in DC where the main world happen to be Earth 1, so he simply chose a higher number.

But there has also been some talk about what the original poster was talking about: http://72.32.138.96/blogs/Tom_Brevoort/entry/719

Great find Morr.

This is from the Executive Editor of Marvel

and Alan Davis at Marvel.com ... no arguing there.

The term 616 may have some humorous relation to 666 but it's not a fact.

Even Alan Davis, who with Alan Moore created all those Captain Britain stories
aren't absolute in it's significance.

What is an absolute Fact is,

616 was originally a # designated to a copy of the mainstream Marvel Universe.

Nothing more.

Why?

Because UK cats wanted to use Mainstream characters but could not because of continuity issues, so instead they were allowed to make an Alternate Universe termed the 616 Reality (an exact copy of the Mainstream Marvel Universe)

Shortly there after UK titles became maintream canon
and the whole Universal # sequence took hold.

(form Marvel.com)

"The irony is that the Multiverse was created out of Marvel UK's desire to use Marvel US characters--which wouldn't have been tolerated at the time. Setting the stories on an alternate Earth offered the opportunity to use any of the Marvel stars without concern for continuity"

It appears that the actual #616 was derived from 666, not because of it's connection to bible or devil, but because it was an "Alternate Number" to 666.

And since the UK cats made an "Alternate" copy of mainstream Marvel,
they decided to make their "Alternate" copy #616.

Because 616 means or represents the "Alternate" number to 666.

That's what I got from it,
although I can't imagine why they would choose such a dark comparison.

Then again, Alan Moore and Davis seem like creepy folks (especially Moore)

I also heard the Creshosk theory before,

it should't be immediately dismissed, because it is sensible.

Cool theories ✅
