The team of archaeologists, led, by the archaeologist Frank Goddio ocean, has found in the ancient Alexandria in Egypt, a vessel with an enigmatic enrollment in greek. On the cup is written DIA CHRESTOU OGOISTAIS to the team which includes perhaps the earliest reference to Jesus Christ and translating it as "by Christ the magician" or "The Magic of the Christ." Could
Thus it was discovered the first reference to Christ as magician, a role first advanced by the late prof. Morton Smith (and I share the thought)?
As interesting as the cup dated to the second century BC and first century. AD, translation and the reference to Christ may be erroneous. E 'and do not in fact written CHRESTOU CHRISTOU. In addition, April DeConick, Professor of Biblical Studies at Rice University (USA) said that the name was a title that CHRESTOU the Sethian Gnostic sect of the employed for Archon, ATHOTH, meaning "excellence." " was found in different gospels, including Judas ," he said. "I do not know what it means OGOISTAIS ma ci sto lavorando. In ogni caso non significa "IL MAGO". Potrebbe trattarsi di un vaso rituale appartenuto a degli gnostici Sethiani con un'invocazione ad ATHOTH e dunque nulla ha a che fare con Cristo. In ogni caso è una scoperta sensazionale essendo il primo vaso rituale appartenuto a questa setta gnostica ad essere ritrovato ». Ha concluso la DeConick.
La seconda parte del testo iscritto, vale a dire OGOISTATIS è stato invece interpretato da Jared Callaway, Candidato al Dipartimento di Religione della Columbia University, come derivante dal sostantivo GOES oppure GOATES o GOETES e dunque potrebbe significare "INCANTATORE" oppure "LAMENTATORE".
Vi aggiornerò appena ci saranno delle novità in this regard.
