Huh. With the new picture, I count four crosses plus the bottom of a fifth. That means we either have a Golgotha panorama, or a comic book style narrative where events happen side by side (or above each other).

Just so darned interesting.

I do like the picture gallery attached to the EITB link, though. It gives scale.

I’ve found a page with a lot of good links in Spanish:

Also, the official website has a good post in Spanish on the news:

Since this stuff I _can_ translate, I’ll try my best and put it up on my other blog, Aliens in This World: http://suburbanbanshee.wordpress.com

Well, now you’ve got me uneasy. I have not seen another photo of that item, but there are descriptions out there from the day of the press conference. Here’s one — http://historia-antigua.blogspot.com/2006/06/los-restos-hallados-en-el-yacimiento.html — that seems to describe what we see in the photo. Here’s another: http://servicios.diariovasco.com/pg060608/prensa/noticias/Cultura/200606/08/DVA-CUL-341.html . . . And this one seems like the best confirmation: http://terraeantiqvae.blogia.com/2006/060801-alava.-iruna-veleia-desentierra-jeroglificos-y-grafias-en-latin-de-la-historia-d.php . . . And here’s the official site: http://www.veleia.com/ingles/galeria_listado.php . . . OK, one more that seems interesting: http://adrianmurdoch.typepad.com/bread_and_circuses/2006/06/irunaveleia.html

I am definitely skeptical about that picture. It is just a little too neat in what it depicts. I’m not saying that it should diverge from the traditional artistic depiction, but the totality of the scene strikes me as not quite consistent with what I’ve seen in early Christian art. But perhaps I’ve not seen enough!

Initially, I doubted the genuiness of the picture in the link for the same reason as Ronald Cox. On closer inspection of an enlargement, the “R” appears to me more like an “F” with an extra bar. That just begs the question, however. I will suspend belief until a little more information is forthcoming.

Thanks for the link to the picture. What are the letters above the Christ – they look like RIP? Is that possible????
