If there is a skeleton, I wonder how many extra bones it will have?

The tombs and bodies of Pete'n'Paul.
"There is no doubt where the bodies now are -- in the tombs of the Vatican and the Ostian Way respectively.." [much more] From the Catholic Encyclopaedia. Well that's nice to know. But I thought I'd check a bit further. Hence Wiki : "There is no doubt where the bodies now are -- in the tombs of the Vatican and the Ostian Way respectively" [ much more] Hmmm. Notice anything? So I thought I'd check out a bit more and got Frank Zindler: http://www.atheists.org/christianity/bones.html "Pope Pius XII said in his Christmas radio message on Dec. 23, 1950:............ The relics of Saint Peter have been identified in a way we believe convincing"… ............... After all, his personal physician Dr. Galeazzi-Lisi and several medical experts had studied the bones minutely chez Le Pape and had stated that the bones were those of a man, powerfully built, who had been perhaps sixty-five or seventy years old at death. If that wasn’t St. Peter, who else could it have been? .............. two men and an old woman, he finally decided. The men were adjudged to have been in their fifties when they died, the woman in her seventies. ..................hogs, sheep, and goats — and some that scratched around as chickens. Perhaps a fourth of the bones extracted from the alleged authentic grave of Peter — fifty or sixty fragments altogether — came from a Roman barnyard instead of from the shore of the Sea of Galilee...." cheers yalla |

So we should expect the bones to show signs of healing of fractured ribs, broken legs, fractures skull etc (Skip the skull perhaps, if he was beheaded, and the head not kept with the body) |
