Biblical synagogue breakthrough claim

Archaeologists in northern Israel believe they may have uncovered the remains of a first-century synagogue, a Biblical find labelled as possibly the most significant for decades.

The remains were found in Chorazin (or Korazin, among other possible spellings), an ancient settlement associated with the New Testament.

The site has been buried for centuries under another structure. The area of the site has often been linked to Jesus’s ministry.
