In 1953, two Franciscan friars discovered hundreds of 1st century ossuaries stored in a cave on the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem. The archaeologists claimed to have discovered the earliest physical evidence of a Christian community in Jerusalem, including some very familiar Biblical names. The name inscribed on one ossuary has been interpreted to read: Shimon Bar Yonah - Simon, the Son of Jonah. However, several scholars, both Protestant and Catholic, disputed that the tomb belonged to Peter, one of the reasons being that there was no inscription referring to him as Cefa or Peter. Dr. Stephen Pfann of the University of the Holy Land reads the inscription as Shimon Barzillai; the Barzillai being a famous family in Jerusalem.
