John The Baptist's Bones Found?

Turkey is riddled with archeological sites and artifacts that date thousands of years back, but a new find has some scientists a bit surprised. And though it's nothing conclusive, the question is still tantalizing...

I saw a show on this a little while back (or at least it seems like the same story) and what those scientists concluded was that it was the bones of a man that matched the age, time period and place of origin in which John the Baptist was supposed to have lived. While they couldn't say whether it was him or not, they concluded that it was a man from the same period...and that it was probably someone relatively important, simply because the bones survived. Nothing conclusive...but wondering can be fun too.
