Inside lay the limestone ossuary (bone box) of High Priest Joseph Caiaphas—the man known to history as the mastermind behind the arrest and trial of Jesus. Years later, an astonishing detail re-emerged: buried alongside Caiaphas were two bent Roman iron nails. Were these simple construction items, ancient amulets, or authentic relics from the Crucifixion?
