1. Pilate Stone
The Pilate Stone is a limestone block with a partially intact inscription found in Caesarea Maritima, Israel. It's significant because it contains a reference to Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect of Judea, and it provides archaeological evidence for his existence and role in the time period surrounding Jesus's crucifixion.
2. Caiaphus Ossuary
The Caiaphas ossuary is a limestone bone box discovered in a burial cave south of Jerusalem in 1990. It is one of twelve ossuaries found in the cave, and two of them bore the name "Caiaphas". The ossuary, which is currently housed in the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, is believed to have belonged to the High Priest Joseph Caiaphas, a prominent figure in the New Testament and the man who led the council that condemned Jesus.
Eventually, Caiaphas demanded of Jesus “Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of God.” Jesus answered him, “So you say. But I tell all of you: from this time on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right side of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of heaven!” Caiaphas declared this was blasphemy.

5. Dead Sea Scrolls
The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of ancient Jewish manuscripts, primarily written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, discovered in 11 caves near the ruins of Qumran on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea between 1947 and 1956. These scrolls, dating from the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE, include the oldest surviving copies of the Hebrew Bible and other sacred texts. The discovery has significantly enhanced our understanding of the Hebrew Bible and the religious and cultural landscape of the Second Temple period.
