1. “Good luck on your resurrection.”
Written in Greek on a tomb in Israel. A resurrection was not considered something to look forward to once you had died, so this is both historically interesting and side-splittingly hilarious. Perhaps this was a sincere wish, hampered by an inability to fully express it. On the other hand, maybe this was a bunch of confused people, hearing that someone was going to die and then ‘be resurrected,’ and skeptically but gamely trying their best to do right by the corpse. “A resurrection, you say? Well. Good luck with that.
