The story behind Jesus boat
In February 1986, an extraordinary discovery was made on the north-west shore of the Sea of Galilee. At first, a few ancient coins were spotted, and shortly after, an incredible sight appeared — the remains of an ancient boat.
The boat measured 8.2 meters in length, 2.3 meters in width, and 1.2 meters in height.
Based on pottery fragments found nearby, it was determined that the boat had been in use around 2,000 years ago. This conclusion was further supported through carbon-14 dating and by examining ancient hull construction techniques.
This remarkable find opened a unique window into a period of profound historical and spiritual significance, when the shores of the Sea of Galilee served as the backdrop for the life and teachings of Jesus and his disciples. It may also represent the type of boat mentioned by the historian Josephus Flavius, who described the battle near Migdal during the Great Revolt between the Jews and the Romans
The Boat was built using an ancient construction method – first the shell was built and then the rest was adjusted accordingly, and it is made out of 12 different wood types.
The boat laid in the preservation tank for twelve years due to the chemical process needed to keep her safe and that is when the "Connective Element" was created.
The Connective Element is a material derived from the original substance in which the Jesus Boat was submerged for over 12 years when being restored. During this time pieces of the 12 different types of wood that make up the boat as well as other 2000+ year old material from the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River diffused into the conservation material which was then used the create the wax.
This wax was then named the Connective Element as it provides a tangible connection to the Jesus Boat, the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River from the time of Jesus.
From this pure wax we created the "Jesus boat jewelry collection" for you, so you may also preserve a piece of this amazing legacy and carry it with you at all times!
You will receive an Authenticity certificate that proves that you are buying the pure Jesus boat wax.
