ASKING THE OBVIOUS QUESTIONS (the kind we often forget to ask): Jason A. Staples wanted to know if people were ever drawn as stick figures (like the supposed one of Jonah in the drawing on that Talpiot/Talpiyot Tomb ossuary) in antiquity. Guess what he found? Stick Man Jonah More Unprecedented Than Previously Realized. As in, as far as he found so far, completely unprecedented.
This is one more issue to address for the proponents of the interpretation that the drawing depicts Jonah. It illustrates the importance of a principle I have already drawn on in this discussion. In making claims about what an ancient artifact or writing means, it is important to work from the known to the unknown, providing as many contemporary analogies as possible for each step of the argument.
