JESUS CHRIST!

Well besides the fact that religious and faith based arguments have absolutely no basis in reality, from what I've heard the claims in this documentary are all circumstantial. Apparently the name on the tomb might not even be Jesus, and that all of the names found there are the most common of the age. It's like if in two thousand years archeologists found a tomb that said George of Washington on it they would assume it was Bush.

The fact is, besides the bible, there is no actual reliable evidence to say that Jesus ever existed, and the few pieces of secular evidence that does exist was written hundreds of years later is either referencing the sayings of the bible or forgeries added into original writings by church leaders.

I don't even care if Jesus didn't exist. He was one smooth dude who knew how to stick it to the Man.

How'd they get the DNA evidence? Go to communion and extract the DNA from the "body and blood of christ?"

I'm not a big fan of organized religion, so I hesitate to criticize something that could strike a blow against it. However, I'm even less of a fan of James Cameron's, so I am very quick to call BS on this documentary.

Well, for me,this documentary is highly UN-RELIABLE. Why historians always like to challenge Christian faith? Because it catches a lot of attention and the return of their invesment is big...Look at the Da Vinci Code and you will see what I mean.
In fact, even there are bodies in the casket, DNA analysis can't do a thing. They can't prove that the body belongs to Jesus, because there isn't any other sample founded before this to match the DNA sample in the casket.....
The tomb is discovered nearly 30 years ago, and in 1996, a Professor wrote a report about it, but never claimed it to be Jesus family's tomb. Why after so many years do people suddenly want to bring up the story? People doing this are not truth-seeker but money seeker...
3 years ago, they discovered James, Jesus' brother 's tomb, after some time, it was declared as a hoax. Now, they say they found Jesus' tomb, and claim that James'tomb discovered last 3 years is one of the missing tomb out of the 10 tombs discovered 30 years ago. There is so many uncertainties in this story, how am I suppose to believe it?

I've written a comprehensive rebuttal of the films claims. Please read it and decide for yourself whether or not the film claims are solid or a hoax.

A particular Roman edict declared that those crucified must be cremated. Orthodox Jewish Law strictly prohibits cremation. Jesus was hastily, and unwarily buried, but having realized that the edict had been violated, they quickly disinterred the body and buried it at an undetectable location. However, some of his disciples, not knowing that his body was transferred to another gravesite, proclaimed that he had flown to Heaven. At that particular time and age people were crudulous and would never contradict anything they they would consider to be spiritual in nature. But the fear that the Romans might soon discover the violation of the edict was so intense that the Jews would not dare to reveal the secret burial. Hence, a few among Jesus' followers, noticing an empty grave, spread the word around that he had flown to Heaven.
