Golgotha, A Garbage Hill

Historians and Archaeologists tell us that the little section of land called Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified, was actually a landfill. Have you ever seen a landfill up close? Flies buzzing around. A bad smell in the air. Everywhere you look is pile after pile of rotting, stinking trash. And Golgotha was the worst sort of primitive, barbaric landfill possible. When the Romans were crucifying criminals, often there would be nobody around afterward to claim the bodies. So the soldiers would peel the bodies off the beams and toss the corpses into the garbage heap. Then the wild dogs and other feral animals on the outskirts of the city would eat the flesh off the bones. That is the place where Jesus was crucified.
