Image hosted by Photobucket.com looks like it cost a TON of money to build that tomb even back then... i doubt Christ's family was that rich.

There’s also the fact that each of the names Jesu, Mary etc. were quite common, and therefore the finding of a family with the same sequence of names is certainly not beyond the reaches of plausibility.

According to Matthew 27: 57-60, The tomb belonged to Joseph who was rich and was Jesus’ disciple.

“”looks like it cost a TON of money to build that tomb even back then... i doubt Christ’s family was that rich.”

True. IIRC, Jesus was originally ‘buried’ in the tomb of a wealthy benefactor of the family.
