The Fisherman's Tomb: The True Story of the Vatican's Secret Search

Author / Publisher: O'Neill, John

In 1939, A Team Of Workers Beneath The Vatican Unearthed An Early Christian Grave. This Surprising Discovery Launched A Secret Quest That Would Last Decades -- A Quest To Discover The Long-lost Burial Place Of The Apostle Peter. From Earliest Times, Christian Tradition Held That Peter -- A Lowly Fisherman From Galilee, Whom Christ Made Leader Of His Church -- Was Executed In Rome By Emperor Nero And Buried On Vatican Hill. But His Tomb Had Been Lost To History. Now, Funded Anonymously By A Wealthy American, A Small Army Of Workers Embarked On The Dig Of A Lifetime. The Incredible Sometimes Shocking, Story Of The Seventy-five-year Search And Its Key Players Has Never Been Fully Told -- Until Now. The Quest Would Pit One Of The Twentieth Century's Most Talented Archaeologists -- A Woman -- Against Top Vatican Insiders. The Fisherman's Tomb Is A Story Of The Triumph Of Faith And Genius Against All Odds,--page [4] Of Cover.
