Truth unburied...

Pontius Pilate stone (reproduction) found at Caesarea

So some supposed scholars, in an attempt to debunk all of Scripture, regularly suggested that there was zero historical evidence for the existence of Pontius Pilate.  Welll...as archeologists (in the past few years) uncovered this palace of Herod the (not so) Great at Caesarea they discovered a stone which made reference to one Pontius Pilate. 

To understand how this could have been covered for so long you need to realize the massive amounts of sand and silt that the Nile River in Egypt once pushed out on a regular basis.  This portion of Israel (on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea) has massive sand dunes formed as a result of the Nile River.  This whole area was covered in sand until recently. 

So as I always say, "If you can't find something, start digging."
