...high tablet romantically dubbed "Gabriel's Revelation" could challenge the uniqueness of the idea of the Christian Resurrection. The tablet appears to date authentically to the years just before the birth of Jesus and yet - at least according to one Israeli scholar - it announces the raising of a messiah after three days in the grave. If true, this could mean that Jesus' followers had access to a well-established paradigm when they decreed that Christ himself rose on the third day - and it might even hint that they they could have applied it in their grief after their master...
...railroad iron. This fence is intended to stop cars, not walkers--but anyone crossing out here must be ready for a parched hike of 30 miles (48 km) or more, through cactus lands and bombing ranges, to the nearest road. That's a dwindling population, said CBP helicopter pilot Gabriel Mourik. "I used to catch 100 people in a day," Mourik said. "Yesterday, it was just...

This is not just because other landlocked countries, like Rwanda and Serbia...
Edward Docx’s third novel, “Pravda,” starts off like a Dan Brown thriller. We are introduced to Gabriel Glover, freshly landed in St. Petersburg following his mother’s strange midnight call to his apartment in London. “Come tomorrow. Promise me,” she had demanded with mysterious urgency the night before. Gabriel obeys, traveling to Russia and taxiing over to her apartment only to find his mother dead on the floor. All similarities to Dan Brown, thankfully, stop there. Instead of the murder mystery suggested...
