House where Last Supper occurred 'still standing' millennia later
Archaeologists have claimed that the house where the Last Supper is said to have occurred is still standing over 2,000 years later. The room where Jesus Christ had his supper with his 12 disciples before his crucifixion was mentioned in the book of Luke 22:11-13, which saw Jesus ask for a large, furnished upper room of a house so they could have their passover meal. The room, also known as the Cenacle on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, is a tourist attraction and prayer room — and despite it being said as the room where the famed supper occurred, there was a lack of archaeological excavation that could confirm if the room was around during Jesus' time. Archaeologists have claimed that the house where the Last Supper is said to have occurred is still standing over 2,000 years later. Pic: sedmak/Getty There have been several ancient depictions of the house, which had limestone walls and a red sloping roof, including in 1585 when a fourth century carving saw Jesus before Mary Magdalene post resurrection with a distinctive slanted roof in the background. Other illustrations depicting what appears to be proof of the house include in 1846, when a sixth century illustration found in Italy depicted Jesus entering the old city of Jerusalem on a donkey with the Cenacle visible in the background. Greek Orthodox Christians also found what was thought to be the earliest map of Jerusalem that dated back to 560 AD, with the map showcasing the Cardo Maximus and two structures at the southern end of the map that were identifiable by red roofs. The Cenacle in Mount Zion, where the Last Supper is said to have occurred. Pic: Richard T. Nowitz/Getty Images In more recent times, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) underwent peeling back the modifications of the Cenacle using laser technology and photographic imaging to try and uncover what state it would have been in during the time of the Last Supper. After intense scanning of the room to create 'accurate models of the space,' features that were previously unknown were discovered, including obscure artwork such as Agnus Dei (the Lamb of God) and the Lion of Judah on the ceiling. 'The lion was the symbol of King David,' Amit Re'em of the IAA told Fox News at the time. 'According to ancient scriptures, Jesus was a descendent of King David.' Pic: minoandriani/Getty Images Despite the historical significance of the room, it still cannot be confirmed 100% if that is indeed where the Last Supper took place; with Mr Re'em saying at the time that further research is needed. 'From time to time, when we have an opportunity, we're continuing to document other parts of the holy complex,' he said. 'I hope that maybe, in the future, we will have the opportunity to conduct a small-scale classical archaeological investigation.'

'Lost Gospel' claims Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had two children
A controversial new claim, countering traditional narratives, alleges Jesus Christ tied the knot with 'prostitute' Mary Magdalene and fathered two kids. This bombshell is based on a nearly 1,500 year old manuscript unearthed in the British Library. Labelled as the "Lost Gospel" and translated from ancient Aramaic, the document reportedly includes these shocking revelations, as reported by The Sunday Times. Despite the tendency of many scholars to dismiss the historical influence of biblical figures, this newly interpreted gospel paints Magdalene in a far more pivotal role than previously assumed. After extensive work on the translation, Professor Barrie Wilson and author Simcha Jacobovic assert that the text confirms Jesus's parenthood of two children and identifies the real Virgin Mary as his spouse rather than his mother. Mary Magdalene's presence intertwines throughout the prevailing gospels, witnessing many crucial events of Jesus's life. However, this "Lost Gospel" isn't the inaugural suggestion of a marital bond between her and Jesus, reports the Express. The notion was famously echoed by Nikos Kazantzakis in "The Last Temptation of Christ" (1953) and quite notably by Dan Brown in his blockbuster novel "The Da Vinci Code", both weaving the same claim into their stories. Magdalene maintains a significant presence in Jesus's tale, remembered as a key follower who accompanied him as per the four canonical gospels. She is widely believed to have witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus and also his resurrection. Mary Magdalene's name appears a dozen times across the canonical gospels, which is more than many of the apostles. There is a broad consensus among secular scholars that Mary Magdalene was as much a historical figure as Jesus himself. Moreover, apart from the family of Jesus, she is the most frequently mentioned woman in the gospels. Regarded as a saint by various Christian faiths, including Catholicism, Anglicanism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Lutheranism, Magdalene holds a revered place in religious history. In a significant move by the Vatican in 2016, Pope Francis elevated Mary Magdalene's July 22 memorial to the rank of a feast day and declared her the "Apostle of the apostles". Within certain Protestant denominations, she is celebrated as a beacon of faith, while the Eastern Orthodox Church honours her annually on the Sunday of the Myrrhbearers. The Roman Catholic tradition, particularly during the Counter-Reformation, began denoting her with the title "penitent" when referring to her on her feast day.
