Jesus: Tales from the Crypt
Posted by Tim McGirk
Brace yourself. James Cameron, the man who brought you 'The Titanic' is back with another blockbuster. This time, the ship he's sinking is Christianity.

In a new documentary, Producer Cameron and his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the starting claim that Jesus wasn't resurrected --the cornerstone of Christian faith-- and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem. And, get this, Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene.

No, it's not a re-make of "The Da Vinci Codes'. It's supposed to be true.

Let's go back 27 years, when Israeli construction workers were gouging out the foundations for a new building in the industrial park in the Talpiyot, a Jerusalem suburb. of Jerusalem. The earth gave way, revealing a 2,000 year old cave with 10 stone caskets. Archologists were summoned, and the stone caskets carted away for examination. It took 20 years for experts to decipher the names on the ten tombs. They were: Jesua, son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua.
Israel's prominent archeologist Professor Amos Kloner didn't associate the crypt with the New Testament Jesus. His father, after all, was a humble carpenter who couldn't afford a luxury crypt for his family. And all were common Jewish names.

There was also this little inconvenience that a few miles away, in the old city of Jerusalem, Christians for centuries had been worshipping the empty tomb of Christ at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Christ's resurrection, after all, is the main foundation of the faith, proof that a boy born to a carpenter's wife in a manger is the Son of God.

But film-makers Cameron and Jacobovici claim to have amassed evidence through DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies, that the 10 coffins belong to Jesus and his family.

Ever the showman, (Why does this remind me of the impresario in another movie,"King Kong", whose hubris blinds him to the dangers of an angry and very large ape?) Cameron is holding a New York press conference on Monday at which he will reveal three coffins, supposedly those of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. News about the film, which will be shown soon on Discovery Channel, Britain's Channel 4, Canada's Vision, and Israel's Channel 8, has been a hot blog topic in the Middle East (check out a personal favorite: Israelity Bites) Here in the Holy Land, Biblical Archeology is a dangerous profession. This 90-minute documentary is bound to outrage Christians and stir up a titanic debate between believers and skeptics. Stay tuned.

Any idea when it airs?

Manntis may offer a clue as when film will air. It's showing in Canada as well.

They will show us what they have this Monday, in New York.

Yupp, us Canadians know exactly when programs will air in this country. We have, after all, only one television channel.

didnt know you were a canucky!
I thought manntis claimed he was in the media business in canada

"The Lost Tomb of Jesus," produced by Oscar-winning director James Cameron and scheduled to air March 4 on the Discovery Channel, argues that 10 small caskets discovered in 1980 in a Jerusalem suburb may have held the bones of Jesus and his family.

Cameron told NBC'S TODAY show that statisticians found "in the range of a couple of million to one in favor of it being them".

A couple of million to one. WOW it must be true.

this is going to be lame, its probably going to be some rich jew claiming to be Jesus. and wanted to be buried like that just to play around with whoever found him in the future

lol
It's going to be a tough sell. I was expecting the smoking gun. Perhaps it is. The correct puzzle sequence is there; Jesus, Mary, and Magdalene within the time frame. A little too early for Czar's thumbs up. I will wait and see.

I love the title of the thread: Apparant Proof Jesus Died: Film will Reveal

hi YZF
This thread is about the up coming movie. The debate might be better suited in the religion section, which our friend $100 started.

I can't wait to view the show. how 'bout you?

As if someone is going to destroy the fabric of christian faith on cable tv on a Sunday?

You don't think someone like mwah would want such a thing to happen on a Sunday now do ya?

Ha, I don't doubt that for one second...

However, if they even remotely came close to saying they knew for sure that those were the bones of "Jesus", that'd be on CNN all morning like it was 9/11 all over again.
