Pilate Stone
Pilate Stone is a slab of stone inscribed with the name of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judaea who ordered the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The stone, which was used as a cornerstone or building block, was discovered in 1961 and is now housed in the Israel Antiquities Authority in Jerusalem. It is considered an important artifact in the study of the historical events surrounding the trial and death of Jesus and is widely accepted as evidence of Pilate's existence.
