One of the most enjoyable dreams of childhood is that of finding a treasure. Here is a true story of a dream comes true. One day on the year 1986, when the sea level was low, two Israeli brothers, living in a kibbutz on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, found an ancient boat. Little did they know that archaeologists will enthusiastically crown their discovery as one of the most important reminders from Jesus' lifetime!Excavating the boat from the mud without damaging it was a difficult process which lasted 12 days and nights. The ancient wood was extremely fragile when exposed to the atmosphere and the boat had to be rescued by wrapping it in a mantle of fiberglass and insulating foam, which helped with both keeping it together, and floating it to its new location in the museum adjacent to the place where it was found. Since then, it is one of the highlights in every Christian pilgrimage tour to the Holy land. The "Jesus Boat" story for kids ties beautifully together this stunning discovery and the biblical text from Mark 4:35-41, about Jesus calming with his miraculous power a sea storm. "it was a boat much like this ancient one", it reveals, "that Jesus and his friends sailed out one night...".
