Yes, this should be very interesting to watch.
I am surprised we aren't seeing more articles about it popping up.
I have no difficulty believing it possible, but then I never believed he was unmarried or childless, nor that he was taken bodily into heaven.

Should be an interesting circus to watch. The only argument against this being legit so far is an off-handed comment about Jesus' family being too poor for the luxary of the tomb, but where in the bible does it say Jesus was from a poor family? It's actually unlikely Jesus was poor. The bible speaks of collections of donations as being overwelming for the early Christian congregations. Even if that wasn't a factor, it's more likely a person of resources could influence masses rather than a someone who was poor.

This is COMPLETE BUNK! Even the archaeologists working in the area said that it makes for good TV and that's about IT! I implore EVERYONE to boycott this program on the basis of its total STUPIDITY - what a publicity stunt...why sink so low.
Think about it people - there is NO possible way to accurately identify the tomb or any possible remains... seriously - 2000 years later, the almighty James Cameron has made such a wonderful discovery - I don't think so... I don't think so..

It is unfortunate that it is already causing heated debate. James Cameron hasn't had a hit in a while so what better way to get people interested than to try and tarnish the image of the most controversial figure in human history. Though it has already been debunked as false by Jewish archeaologist. Cameron appears to be taking a page from Brown in an effort to refurbish a dwindling fortune.

I was in Israel in 1991. My tour guide explained to me that there are "traditional sites" and then there are other sites. I saw the traditional site,,,,,,,,,,it had multiple churches built over it.
However, there was another site that was described as looking like a skull. A lot of people believe in this site due to what the Holy Word says.
There is another site, which I did not go to, that is a tomb dug out of a rock, sort of like what is described in the New Testament.
So, that's what I know. Take your pick.

It is going to be a big one. I can't wait to see it. The stories on the internet are all very short on details.

I doubt it. It's probably just an advanced plug for a movie he's making. I wouldn't give it much thought.

This question came in earlier today....it's about money, sales, and the almighty dollar.
