No,not true.They found a tomb,but it was not that of Jesus and His family.


1.One of the ossuaries is in Hebrew, several in Aramaic, and one in Greek.Why would they be in different languages?The Jews at that time spoke Aramiac,including Jesus’ family,not Greek.This suggests a multi-generational tomb.
2.In addition,the names were extremely common.Jesus,Matthew,and Jospeh were in the top ten of used names in that era.The name Mary,was shared by over 21% of Jewish women.
3.Mary Magdalene was never called Mariamene.This name comes from a 4th century document called the ‘Gospel of Phillip’.Why trust a document written hundreds of years ,since we already have records of what the people who knew her called her? Also,the ‘Mary’ of the tomb,does not have anything about Migdal on the ossuary.It simply says Mary.
A big deal is made of DNA evidence.What happened?
4.Scientists were able to extract DNA from the remains in two of the caskets.What did this show? That the one in the ‘Mary’ caket and one in the ‘Jesus’ casket,were not maternally related.So,they’ve taken that finding,and made a big leap to come to the conclusion that ‘Mary’ and ‘Jesus’ were married.
5.Here we run into a few more problems.The tomb was found in Jerusalem.Joseph’s birthplace was Bethlehem,he lived in Nazareth,and died in Galilee.Why would he have bought a tomb in Jerusalme,a place where he had no connection? The tomb and ossuaries were also the type that only the rich would have been able to afford.
6.There is no evidence that shows Jesus as having a son,or being married.
7.They have to explain why there are three brothers of Jesus missing from the tomb: James, Judas and Simon,and then explain why a ‘Matthew’ never recorded as being part of Jesus’ family,was in the tomb.
8.The makers rely on the assumption that the earlier ‘James,son of Joseph,brother of Jesus’ ossuary,was taken from the same tomb as the ones in the film.For this to have happened,the earlier James ossuary must have been removed from the tomb after 1980.The problem? The earlier James ossuary,was photographed in the 1970’s.It could not have come from the tomb.
9..The next problem is statistical evidence.While calculating,they did a few things that dramatically altered the result.They removed the names ‘Matthew’ and ‘Judah’,yet kept in ‘Mariamne’,based on the ‘Gospel of Phillip’.

This is what the experts had to say about the find:

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,"
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.
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."
Amos Kloner, the first archaeologist to examine the site,also said the idea fails to hold up by archaeological standards but makes for profitable television.


William Dever, an expert on near eastern archaeology and anthropology, who has worked with Israeli archeologists for five decades, said specialists have known about the ossuaries for years.
"The fact that it's been ignored tells you something," said Dever, professor emeritus at the University of Arizona. "It would be amusing if it didn't mislead so many people

Do you know the Jews lived during Jesus' time were trying to say that Jesus has never risen from the Death.

They even gave money to the Roman Soldiers to say Jesus' Disciples stolen the body and hid it.

Why don't you think even they could have written the names of Jesus , Joseph or any one in any way on any tomb irrespective of any ones.

This tomb may be of such a one.

Except every major archeologist has said its not legit. Jesus bones are somewhere in the hills rottting, they aren't in a marked tomb. THat doesn't even make sense. If they were ina marked family tomb, nobody would have believed the silly resurection thing, they would have just gone to the tomb.

It belongs to a different Jesus. This tomb was discovered 27 years ago and the Israeli Archaeological Agency long ago determined it could not, in fact, have belonged to the Jesus of the Gospels

You're mistaken -- a tomb was found 11 years ago and until now it's been ignored. James Cameron just realized he could make a lot of money with a documentary about it. Not even the archeologists who discovered it believe that it belongs to the biblical Jesus.

first of all no true christian would believe that of the hundreds of Jesus tombs that have been found that this one, most recently in the news if the true body of jesus or his bones.
more than likely it was someone else in the family of jesus who believed.
Jesus is risen, his body and his bones were resurrected. Mary testified the tomb was empty. the disciples each touched the resurrected body which was not a spirit. 500 men beheld and witnessed the resurrection of Jesus. but it does not stop with the bible either! there were 2500 souls that lived, that testified they saw and beheld jesus and each one of them touched and verified that it was Jesus. Hence in south america there is the legend of a bearded white man who would returen, who was God. you can read that testimony in the book of mormon.

Jesus became once human yet at the same time as he died he grew to develop into an angel the picture of truly everyone else the in effortless words distinction is Jesus is an angel which could do lots of the failings God can. Like shelter the gate stuff like that and God would not look like some thing God invented appearances yet he can tAke any structure he needs and any type

I read that article and many of the scientists that they talked to didn't even believe that was the genuine article, so I highly doubt that's really his tomb.

There is no proof that it is the tomb of Jesus and you don't deserve a more intelligent answer than that.
