Scientists in Sudan have discovered a tattoo with references to Jesus Christ on a 1,300-year-old body excavated in a cemetery near a medieval monastery....
anyone background in this field able to chime in on how accurate this is? I read it briefly and looked up alpha/omega and the “chi-rho” but not sure how they got that out of some random blotches that are barely visible. Seems like generous interpretation may have been used. I can see how they may be able to verify its a tattoo by looking at the materials the blotch is made of, but superimposing an image of what it “is” seems like a stretch to me without knowing more about this.
