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.
--Tim McGirk/Jerusalem Tomorrow will be interesting indeed.....

BTW,if this gets heated admins....move to the religious bit.

um yeah...this will be more than a little difficult to prove.

For the love of humanity, we don't even know who the father of Anna Nicole's baby!! (do we?)

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. That will be interesting to prove. It will be very interesting to see what DNA evidence they are using to prove this is Jesus. It will also be interesting to see the biblical studies proving this is Jesus.

And for the people creating the show, the most interesting thing to see will be the zeroes in their paychecks.

James Cameron needs to get back to making action movies.

What makes you think this won't be? It has a body count of 10, so there must be a bit of action along the way.

[Susanleech]

why did it take twenty year?!

[vTLWqa1l]

it says they did dna tests who did they check them against God? lmao musta been a bitch getting in to see him

Not at all.......it's easy once you pay the nominal fee.

I expect when they say DNA evidence, they mean they can prove the people are all part of the same family.

I suppose they are riding on the 'archaeological evidence' to prove that they have actually found Jesus.

You could have jesus himself say "god doesn't really exist, i was just messing about" and christians would still deem the evidence insufficient.

It would be pretty hard to believe him if he came back 2000 years later. But we sure would all get a good laugh, at your expense.

[elalmhicabalp]

I was wondering why James Cameron wanted a sample of my DNA.

/goes back to running the universe.

[mybooboo]

You mean that he wasn't resurrected and thus the foundations for all the teachings of christianity are based on an untruth?

Now they tell us dammit.
