The burial site identified in Cameron’s documentary is in a southern Jerusalem neighborhood nowhere near the church.

Well, then, that explains why the women, the disciples, the Jews, and the Romans ALL went to the wrong tomb when they looked for Jesus's body. They all thought he was buried at the site of the Holy Sepulcher, when in fact he was buried in a southern Jerusalem neighborhood nowhere near the church.

I've been monitoring the news for any signs of rioting and widespread disorder since this story broke....but then I remembered with which religion the story dealt.

"In 1996, when the BBC aired a short documentary on the same subject, archaeologists challenged the claims. Amos Kloner, the first archaeologist to examine the site, said the idea fails to hold up by archaeological standards but makes for profitable television."

Kind of like "An Inconvient Truth".....

I am beginning to believe that all of this hoopla is just a well place publicity campaign for the documentary.

Cameron isn't a theologian or an archaeologist.

They've already done Raiders of the Lost Ark -- so finding the Ark of the Covenant is passe'. Let's see, what's the biggest story we could come up with? How about finding the tomb of Jesus . . .

Cameron and Geraldo should team up.

because the common belief among skeptics is that the
story about the resurrection of Christ is just
a story....so why would they use the historical
documents that talk about Christs' work as a basis
for anything historical...?
I wonder if the mDNA they analyzed was not from a worker
on the bone box, or some bug, or eukaryotic plant material....
I would like to see the results.

no riots in the street,

no fatwas,

no James Cameron becoming the room mate of Salmon Rushdie,

just atheists and hedonists who are being hypocritical when it comes to attacking christianity.

One of the caskets even bears the title, “Judah, son of Jesus,” hinting that Jesus may have had a son.

A lot of young boys were named Jesus during that time period anticipating the messiah. It wasn't an uncommon practice.

Was/is the name "Jesus" a unique name in that area and time?...

At best, if not and out right forgery, it might be A "Jesus"

But it's not THE "Jesus" who was THE "Christ"

Details about the documentary next week on the supposed Jesus Tomb.

Why am I not surprised that Jesus was married and had a son?

I wonder why christians aren't taking to the streets and threatening violence against this man and the channel for running this bunch of lies? The islamic radicals would have already been out there and the liberals would be championing their right to a supposed injustice. Let's get a lot more vocal about this kind of attack against the faith of millions of people around the world. Of course, we should not be surprised that a non-believer could supposedly provide proof of a tomb. Jesus said they would try to do that.

Jesus [a.k.a. Joses or "Joseph"] has been a common name in Palestine for centuries.
