Corinth!!!

Only 1% of this massive city has been excavated! So many more treasures to be found underneath this farm land!


Here we are over the Corinth Canal! One of the reasons Corinth was so wealthy was because of how narrow it is between bodies of water. They built a road back in the day to transport goods from boat to boat...



Which body would you like?

They mass produced bodies of significant people so all they had to do was make the head and arms when the person was deemed worthy to have a statue of them! So, you'd go through and pick out your body and then they'd make your head! Crazy, eh?



This Spartan mask was found practically flawless in one of the many untouched graves in Corinth!


This capital was found with many like it and they believe they belonged to the "slave trade" building.


The first Taco Bell! This wall of the Agora were indisputably the restaurants by the pots, plates, stoves, etc. they found in them!


This was "the road" through Corinth that brought everyone and their goods through this major city!


This is the "Bema" where all historians and scholars agree is the "place of judgement" where Paul was when this went down...

While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment. “This man,” they charged, “is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law.”

Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to them, “If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you. But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law—settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things.” So he drove them off. Then the crowd there turned on Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the proconsul; and Gallio showed no concern whatever.

Acts 18:12-17
