When archaeologists claimed to have found the bones of John the Baptist amid the ruins of an ancient Bulgarian monastery experts were understandably skeptical.

But carbon dating tests carried out at Oxford University have provided scientific evidence to support the extraordinary claim. A knucklebone has been dated to the 1st Century AD - a time when the revered Jewish prophet is believed to have lived.
 
Researchers were said to be 'surprised' when they discovered the very early age of the remains, but admit 'dating evidence alone cannot prove the bones to be of John the Baptist'.
The new dating evidence will be revealed in a TV documentary to be shown on the National Geographic channel on Sunday. 
 
The remains - small fragments of a skull, bones from a jaw and an arm, and a tooth - were discovered two years ago embedded in an altar in the ruins of the ancient monastery, on an island in the Black Sea. 
 
They were kept inside a reliquary - a container for holy relics - on Sveti Ivan - which translates into English as St John - off Sozopol on Bulgaria¡¯s southern coast.
 
The ¡®key¡¯ clue to the relics¡¯ origins was a tiny sandstone box found alongside the reliquary with a Greek inscription: 'God, save your servant Thomas. To St John. June 24.' The date is believed to be John the Baptist¡¯s birthday.
 
One theory is that the person referred to as Thomas had been given the task of bringing the relics to the island.

Whether that person is John the Baptist is a question that we cannot yet definitely answer and probably never will.
 
DNA tests at the University of Copenhagen on three bones confirmed they were from the same person and probably from someone of Middle East origin - where John the Baptist came from.
 
They also established they were probably from a man. Dr Hannes Schroeder, who carried out the research, said: ¡®Of course, this does not prove that these were the remains of John the Baptist but nor does it refute that theory.¡¯ 
 
Bulgarian researchers believe that the bones probably came to Bulgaria via Antioch, an ancient Turkish city, where the right hand of St John was kept until the tenth century.
 
Many countries around the Mediterranean claim to have remains of St John, including Turkey, Montenegro, Greece, Italy and Egypt.

According to the bible he was the cousin of Jesus and a revered holy man who baptized the son of God.
 
He is said to have foretold the coming of Christ before being beheaded on the orders of King Herod, with his head served up on a plate.
