And just where are they going to get DNA from Jesus, or Mary, to compare it to? This is a dead end from the begining.

[Politically Correct]

What a maroon!

I'm not sure she could buy a clue.

If there's a tombstone, maybe we'll finally know what the middle initial 'H' stands for. ;^)

Apologies in advance to the humor-challenged.

Be kind of hard to dig up something that isn't there...

Luke 24
⁵In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? ⁶He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ⁷'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' "

He is risen!

[Brilliant]

Even assuming that you don't believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, how exactly do they explain that Jesus, Moses and Mary got to Kashmir?

how exactly do they explain that Jesus, Moses and Mary got to Kashmir?

They got a ride with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant??

Olsson says she wants to unravel the truth about the shrines so that the scenic Himalayan region of Kashmir, ravaged by a decade-long Muslim insurgency that has claimed 35,000 lives, can become a pilgrimage centre for Christians

If the body of Jesus were ever found anywhere, why would there continue to BE any Christians at all? Let alone that they would be on a pilgrimage there?

"Hey, let's go to visit the gravesite of that liar or lunatic who thought he was God's son and the savior of the world!"

While Muslims say Rozabal houses the tomb of Yuza Asaf, a Muslim saint, many researchers believe it contains the body of Jesus Christ.

I vote for Yuza.

Joe Yuzaza. He started the first foreign camel dealership in India. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I might be misinformed but can't DNA be effective in detecting someone's ethnicity. For example the archaelogist could identify if the body has semetic "blood" and see if carbon dating matches it to the time of Jesus. She can't prove that it was him but proving what I mentioned might stir some controversy.

a Muslim saint

???

[Darth Sidious]

I think he's supposed to have had some kids. Maybe they're still in the area.

Patently absurd.

Everyone knows that the real bloodline of Christ found its way to France and the Merovingian kings!

;-)

[tet68]

Didn't know they had explosives that far back.

The contradiction is not even lost on this bald headed, unassuming government bean counter.

That got a full blown, laugh-out-loud response. You made my day!

Did he make the really obnoxious commercials about his camels and how good they were??
