Qumran lies directly within the orbit of Jesus' early activity. His first public appearance occurred in this region. It is a striking fact that the place where Jesus received the ritual baptismal bath in the Jordan at the hands of John, was only 5 km from the monastic settlement of Qumran. There is of course a reason for this. John the Baptist was a schaliach, an apostle of the sect of Qumran…John led a community of Essene moderates. After his baptism one should similarly count Jesus as a member of one of these communities, and refer to him as a Nazarene. This later led to the falsely translated and irrational description of him as 'Jesus of Nazareth', a place which was not even in existence at the time of Jesus. Later a sign was said to have been fixed to the Cross, giving charge against him as membership of this sect: "Jesus, Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum—Jesus, Nazarene, King of the Jews.

Palaeos reborn!

First I reported that Palaeos was lost, and then that it might be found, but now it looks like we can safely say it is being reborn. The old version of Palaeos has been at least partially restored, but the really important news is that a Palaeos wiki has been set up and people are working on reassembling old content and creating new information in a much more flexible format. If you've got some phylogenetic or palaeontological expertise, you might want to consider joining the Palaeos team and helping out with this big project.

Palaeos.org is still going strong, and the various pieces are slowly beginning to click into place. However, we still have only a few serious contributors, and a project of this size requires many more to become all that we hope it will be. So come one, come all to www.palaeos.org, and feel free to muck in and help us build it!
