On Wednesday 26th June 1968, Pope Paul VI, conducting an audience in
the basilica of Saint Peter in Rome, departed from his normal routine
to issue a statement of enormous significance to the Holy See, Roman
Catholics and Christians throughout the world: the Pope declared that
the mortal remains of St.Peter, foremost of the Apostles of Jesus
Christ, had been found beneath the great church in which he was
speaking. The statement marked the culmination of one of the most
famous and important archaeological investigations of recent times; a
vast undertaking which had engaged the talents of scientists,
historians and linguists for a quarter of a century.
