Professor Michael Atzi of the University of Haifa's Leon Recanati Institute for Maritime Studies told Israel's Channel 10: "This first evidence points to the existence of a Jewish settlement and strengthens the theory, which until now has been folklore, that the settlement is Kursi – the place Jesus visited and performed the famous 'Miracle of the Swine' according to the New Testament."
