Coming soon to a coffee table book near you - the Apostle Paul!
The Associated Press reports a team of Vatican archaeologists has unearthed a sarcophagus believed to hold the remains of St. Paul. They were found beneath Rome's second largest basilica.
The sarcophagus hasn't been opened but chief archaeologist Giorgia Fillipi hasn't ruled that out.
The tomb housing the remains was buried when the current basilica was constructed at the site of a previous church destroyed in 1823.
The Vatican decided to recover the sarcophagus so that it could be seen and venerated.
