The only decent thing that idiot ever did was cast Robert Patrick in T2.

Just like Last Temptation, the DaVinci Code, the "gospel" of Judas & everything else that we've seen over & over again. The true believers will not be swayed by it.

[Mr. Lucky]

...nor will the true archeologists, nor the true historians.

Why bother? They are unlikely to do anything about it, and the more uproar they create, the more viewers will see it. The best thing to do is ignore it.

[GulfWar1Vet]

Exactly.

Let's not talk about this film. Less talk, less interest. God knows what He did on Resurrection Day, so did His Son.

Why fret about it?

[blazematrix]

Jesus did die and was resurrected.

The freemason/elite/anti-christ/allreligionareone crowd are working very hard to destroy Christians and atheists to help promote their gods (the twelve). These humans are using the (MMGIMC) Mainstream-Media-Governmental-Industrial-Military-Complex to do it with.

"Perhaps Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married as the DNA results from the Talpiot ossuaries suggest...

Wow, I didn't know DNA could identify who married each other. Can it also identify who was divorced? /s

[SunkenCiv]

:') It's a topic that keeps on comin'. ;')

[sonic109]

Totally agree with you .
Read the book The Medici Conspiracy. You wont believe the amount of total frauds there are in the Middle east ( and Italian) antique business. This is REAL junk science . The story has 1000 hole sin it . Look at Camerons past projects,look at REAL scientist views of these boxes. he fails to give ANY details of the DNA evidence. What DNA evidence? I though the bones were lost? He'd still need DNAA from a Jesus decendant alive now for comparison . Complete nonsense here.

Not to mention he'd need DNA from Jesus Himself. Not sure how one acquires this.

There is some hope that sanity will somehow prevail: the local top news station here had a short piece on it, but the info as supplied clearly showed that the rebuttals in the MSM and perhaps here and elsewhere in the blogosphere completely blunted the publicity value of Cameron's press release. The average viewer is left with little more than a puzzle, the biggest one being why was he/she showed this limestone box?

Joe Zias, a physical anthropologist and archaeologist who formerly worked for the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) but was let go during a budget squeeze in 1997... in August 2003, Zias (unnamed) had given a sworn deposition to the Israeli police swearing to having seen the ossuary in the antiquities shop -- without "brother of Jesus" on it.

update:

Former IAA employee Zoe Zias told several archaeologists and BAR editor Hershal Shanks in 2003 that he had previously seen the James Ossuary in a Jerusalem antiquities shop without the words "brother of Jesus" at the end of the inscription. At the trial, he admitted he had not seen the inscription and could not read it if he had. -- Joe Zias Under Oath | Excerpts from the Forgery Trial of the Century | Biblical Archaeology Society Staff | 06/14/2012
