Next they'll tell you that through ancient microscopic DNA they know that Judah is the son of Jesus and Mary.
This is BUNK.
It probably took them all these years to come up with fraudulent "evidence".

They could use DNA to determine that kind of relationship, if the nuclear DNA isn't degraded. A son's Y is identical to his father's Y. Have to go beyond the Y to determine odds of that relationship, if there's a possibility of the "son" actually being a nephew. I believe most nuclear DNA degrades rather quickly, so I'm very skeptical about that part of the claims they're making about this find.
Beyond that, we have the requirement of proving that this family is the same one written about in the Bible & with no known descendants to do a comparison against, we're talking a whole lotta speculation.
