Saint Peter, the first of Jesus' apostles, the guardian of the gates of paradise, the founder of the Christian Church... Designated by Christ himself as his successor, Peter would become the first pope in history for the Catholic Church. However, behind his extraordinary story and his atrocious death, crucified upside down, many enigmas remain. How did he really die? Where was his body buried? Did he ever even come to Rome? Why did Jesus make this Saint the head of his Church? The mysteries surrounding Saint Peter are today finding an extraordinary twist that is arousing the greatest emotion in the Roman Church. In the last three years, two archaeological excavation campaigns have revealed unexpected discoveries, shaking up the certainties of Christianity. In Israel, archaeologists seem to have finally found the lost city of the apostles and in Rome, two mysterious funerary urns from the Middle Ages, discovered in a modest church, could call into question two millennia of Vatican tradition.
