Smell good ping.
No proof that she was the annointer nor is there proof that she was a prostitute.
Forgive me if I’m not seeing anything more than a hypothetical link. She *may* have used these bottles. She *may* have not have ever been in that location, too.
But it is untrue that Mary Magdalene is described in the Gospels as a 'prostitute'.
let me guess, there’s a note inside it telling the secret burial place of the body of her husband Jesus.
If these were unopened, then none of them is the one she opened and used. But, it is cool to have things discovered from that special time in human history.
Yep, they must the same ones ... someone's gonna have to re-write the Bible now, scientists are in agreement.
Mary may have anointed the feet of Jesus, though that is not certain, but she was not a prostitute. That comes from the fact that the story of the prostitute in Luke is so close to the mention of Mary.
Mary of Magdala has been defamed enough by that story. Particularly since the story of the prostitute was a later addition to the gospel of Luke.
The more people are different the more they are the same. I would bet a lot of $ these are tourist trinkets sold to pilgrims going to “Magdala”.
I found a 1930’s bottle in Georgia. FDR *may* have drank out of it.
That’s about big a stretch as what they are saying.
Mary Magdalen was an alien and those jars are full of alien food.
Mary Magdalene was NEVER described in the Bible as a prostitute.
... The archaeologists of the Franciscan academic society Studium Biblicum Franciscanum found the unopened vases dating to the first century AD conserved in mud at the bottom of a swimming pool in Magdala's thermal complex.
If they were unopened they weren't the ones she used. She broke hers open and poured out the perfumed ointment.
Deliberately misleading headline.
The vials in question may have a link to her hometown .

...and just last week, I found a piece of Black Hills limestone that may have been thrown at a pesky coyote by General Custer.
"We think these are balms and perfumes and if chemical analysis confirms this, they could be similar to those used by Mary Magdalene in the Gospels to anoint the feet of Christ.
Well, the rock is similar to one perhaps thrown at something by somebody in Custer's 1874 Expedition, during which it is known that at some point Custer threw something, even if just a fit.
Journalists! Bah; HUMBUG!
I H.A.T.E. misleading, sensatioanlist, bait & switch titles & lead sentences.
> She is also described as a prostitute...
Mary Magdalene is never described as a prostitute in the Bible.
I don’t know what smells worse, this article or the rotten contents in the jars they found.
They don’t have anything connecting these jars to her.
