Simcha attempts to tie the nails of JesusвЂ™ crucifixion to the supposed tomb of the High Priest Caiaphas because, as he states, Caiaphas is only known from the Bible as the Jewish High Priest during the time of JesusвЂ™ execution. Unfortunately for Simcha, this most recent eccentric contribution is perhaps the weakest argument he has ever made вЂ“ a dubious achievement if one considers that SimchaвЂ™s previous sensational claims include the discovery of the route of the Exodus, 2В the lost tomb of JesusвЂ™ family, 3В and Atlantis 4В (in Spain), among others. вЂњSimchaвЂќ (as the showвЂ™s narrator regularly referred to him) claims to have discovered the very nails used to crucify Jesus, and subtly implies that archaeologists excavating a tomb in Israel participated in a cover-up to suppress the fact that these вЂњnails of the crossвЂќ had been discovered. That host is Simcha Jacobovici and the show is Secrets of Christianity: Nails of the Cross. Late Tuesday night around 11:00 PM during Easter week 2011, the History ChannelВ aired a television documentary featuring a host making a particularly sensational claim about Jesus. On the Misuse of Archaeology for Evangelistic Purposes Pseudo-Science and Sensationalist Archaeology: Any one of these problems renders SimchaвЂ™s theory impossible, and their aggregate renders the theory preposterous. Unfortunately for Simcha, his theory has a problem, and its name is Legion, for they are many. Simcha makes two bold claims to say the least: the first is that the lost nails of JesusвЂ™ crucifixion have been recovered, and the second is an implicit assertion that the IAA covered it up.
