did you look into it? Every archeologist is calling this ridiculous because all the proof Cameron has are the names on the tombs. However not only are these the most common names from the first century but the name was Jesus of Jerusalem not Jesus of Nazareth. It it was true I would have had to serioiusly question my faith however because it would mean Jesus stayed dead and wasn't resurrected however the real tomb is empty. Praise the Lord!

This is just another lie that atheist will hang their hat on. DNA proof? How? Did they find Mary, the mother of Jesus? No? Did they swab the inside of Gods cheek? Hardly! Just more proof of how desperate to disprove us they are. You cannot have DNA evidence if you have no parents to check it against.
p.s. River Girl if you believe he was married and had a child then you are not a Christian, a Mormon maybe but not a Christian.

News flash. Satan's working thru gullible man again. The reason it can't be true is because Mary was Jesus's mother. Bible does not say Jesus was married or had children, but that He had siblings. I discern things of this nature with the Bible and this just doesn't fit. Also, "Jesus of Nazareth" - lived there, not in Jerusalem.

No,they have not.
It was actually discovered over 20 years ago,it's only now that people are paying attention to it.
The most popular names in that era for males were:
Simon
Joseph
Eleazar
Judah
John
Jesus
Hananiah
Jonathan
Matthew
Manaen/Menahem
The most popular female names for that era were:
Mary/Mariamne
Salome
Shelamzion
Martha
In that era,21% of Jewish women were named Mary!
There is no other DNA sample of Jesus or His family to compare the remains with!Allthe DNA proves,is that the ones in the tomb were related!
Jesus' family were not even from Jerusalem.Jospeh's home he grew up in was in Bethlehem,and Jesus and his family lived in Galilee.Why would they be buried in Jerusalem,where they had no connection?
There is absolutely no evidence supporting the idea that Jesus was married or had a child,biblical or non-biblical.
The ossuaries that mention Mary,do not have any other descriptive features.They simply say 'Mary'.
The 'James son of Joseph,brother of Jesus' ossuary,which the makers of this film used to try and back up their claim,has been proven to be a forgery.
The main scholar who is the source for the story does not think it is Jesus' tomb.
Says Bar-Ilan University Professor Amos Kloner,"..those were the most common names found among Jews in the first centuries BCE and CE"
Prof. Amos Kloner, the Jerusalem District archeologist who officially oversaw the work at the tomb in 1980 and has published detailed findings on its contents, on Saturday night dismissed the claims. "It makes a great story for a TV film," he told The Jerusalem Post. "But it's impossible. It's nonsense." “"They just want to get money for it,"
Prof. Kloner said there was no way the tomb housed the Holy Family.
The senior Israeli archaeologist who thoroughly researched the tombs after their discovery, and at the time deciphered the inscriptions, cast serious doubt on it.
"It is just not possible that a family who came from Galilee, as the New Testament tells us of Joseph and Mary, would be buried over several generations in Jerusalem."
Kloner said the names found on the ossuaries were common, and the fact that such apparently resonant names had been found together was of no significance. He added that "Jesus son of Joseph" inscriptions had been found on several other ossuaries over the years."There is no likelihood that Jesus and his relatives had a family tomb," Kloner said. "They were a Galilee family with no ties in Jerusalem. The Talpiot tomb belonged to a middle-class family from the 1st century CE."
"Archeological evidence shows that chances of these being the actual
burials of the Holy Family are almost nil," said Motti Neiger, a spokesman for the
Antiquities Authority.
"Simcha has no credibility whatsoever," says Joe Zias, who was the curator for anthropology and archeology at the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem from 1972 to 1997 and personally numbered the Talpiot ossuaries. "He's pimping off the Bible … He got this guy Cameron, who made 'Titanic' or something like that—what does this guy know about archeology? I am an archeologist, but if I were to write a book about brain surgery, you would say, 'Who is this guy?' People want signs and wonders. Projects like these make a mockery of the archeological profession."
Stephen Pfann, a biblical scholar at the University of the Holy Land in Jerusalem who was interviewed in the documentary, said the film's hypothesis holds little weight. "How possible is it?" he said. "On a scale of one through 10 - 10 being completely possible , it's probably a one, maybe a one and a half."
The official report written by Prof. Kloner found nothing remarkable in the discovery. The cave, it said, was probably in use by three or four generations of Jews from the beginning of the Common Era. It was disturbed in antiquity, and vandalized.
In short,the archaeological world (and that of serious scholars) is laughing at this movie.They do not take it seriously,or believe in it,in the slightest.

News flash-no they didn't. Its crap science, it cannot be proven (even if it were real-how did they verify it?). You got suckered by the overzealous media sensationalizing again.
