Archaeologists Found a Skeleton Wearing an Amulet That May Change the History of Christianity
A 1.37-inch inscription could upend our understanding of the religion’s spread.
 | |
“This extraordinary find affects many areas of research and will keep science busy for a long time,” Ina Hartwig, Frankfurt’s head of culture and science, said in a translated statement. “This applies to archaeology as well as to religious studies, philology, and anthropology. Such a significant find here in Frankfurt is truly something extraordinary.”
. . .The original inscription is entirely in Latin, unusual for a time that featured amulets written in Greek or Hebrew.
The Frankfurt Silver Inscription, based on the most updated translation:
(In the name?) of Saint Titus.
Holy, holy, holy!
In the name of Jesus Christ, Son of God!
The Lord of the World
resists with [strength?]
all attacks(?)/setbacks(?).
The god(?) grants well-being
Admission.
This rescue device(?) protects
the person who is
surrenders to the will
of the Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son,
since before Jesus Christ
all knees bow: the heavenly ones,
the earthly and
the underground, and every tongue
confess (to Jesus Christ).
Without a reference to any other faith besides Christianity, rare for amulets of this age, the purely Christian inscription not only shows the rise of Christianity to the north, but also the amulet owner’s devotion.. .
- “The ‘Frankfurt Inscription’ is a scientific sensation,” said Mike Josef, Frankfurt’s mayor, in a statement.
- “As a result, the history of Christianity in Frankfurt and far beyond will have to be turned back by around 50 to 100 years.
- The first Christian find north of the Alps comes
from our city. We can be proud of this, especially now, so close to
Christmas.”
