First Council Church Discovered in Turkey | Orlando News

Archaeologists in Turkey believe they’ve uncovered the real church where Christianity’s most pivotal council ever took place—shaping core beliefs for centuries. In ancient Nicaea (modern İznik), researchers found a smaller, older church beneath a later basilica, matching historical accounts of the 325 A.D. council site. Led by Mustafa Şahin, the team uncovered coins and structural evidence proving the older church predated the famous Church of the Holy Fathers—and likely hosted the historic gathering. If confirmed, this discovery could rewrite our understanding of early Christian history. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
