Maybe Dan Brown was right...
James Cameron and the Discovery Channel go for the big one:
Cameron and colleague Simcha Jacobovici used evidence from DNA tests, archaeological surveys and biblical studies, showing that 10 stone coffins discovered in a Jerusalem suburb in 1980 by Israeli construction workers belonged to Jesus and his family.Some 20 years later archaeologists apparently deciphered some of the names on the tombs in the 2,000-year-old cave as Jesua, son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua.
The 90-minute Discovery Channel film, produced by Cameron and directed by Jacobovici, will be shown on Channel 4.
The things Israeli archeologists dig up. If true, very interesting. I expect worldwide riots, Christians! (Oh, wait. Wrong religion for that).





Comments
I look forward to all the riots and commentary by people who objected to depictions of the Prophets of Islam. After all, they venerate Jesus as a prophet.
I am looking forward to the DNA test. What are they going to show, a grown child and his aged mother together with some guy who *isn't* his genetic father? Anything else won't convince most Christians, and that wouldn't convince anybody!

Of course, this means that some Diasporic Jews might be descendants of Jesus. Hmmm....
