The Director of the Nazareth archaeological project Ken Dark has analyzed the finds made during excavations, and have found evidence of biblical events.
Nazareth is the place where Jesus grew up. From the Bible we know that there he was treated unfavorably.
the people of Nazareth decisively rejected Roman values and customs, considering them unclean. The idea of salvation, which Jesus preached, could also cause controversy among local residents, explains Dark.
According to him, the citizens adhered to a strict interpretation of Jewish religious law. They apparently even had to go into hiding, reports Live Science.
