Israel Trip - The Jesus Boat Museum

The Jesus Boat Museum was not in our itinerary but our guide was very good indeed to take us there. I have heard about this ancient boat that was discovered in the Sea of Galilee in the mid 80s. The boat was carbon dated to the time of Jesus Christ. It could have been the very boat that Jesus and his apostle took out fishing as narrated in the Bible. Or it could have been just the same kind of boat that fishermen used during the time of Jesus. There is no way to tell who owned or used this boat so it is rather audacious of them to call it "Jesus Boat". Totally name dropping to garner more popularity and fame. Whatever! Still it was neat to see a very ancient boat.


BTW, outside of the Museum the name posted is "Man in the Galilee Museum" but the official website is Jesus Boat Museum. I do not know what is going on with that.
