The cave in which Jesus Christ was buried has been found in Jerusalem, claim the makers of a new documentary film. The film was made by James Cameron, the man who brought you 'Titanic.'
If it proves true, the discovery, which will be revealed at a press conference in New York tomorrow, could shake up the Christian world as one of the most significant archeological finds in history. The coffins which, according to the filmmakers held the remains of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene will be displayed for the first time tomorrow in New York.
The story starts in 1980 in Jerusalem's Talpiyot neighborhood, with the discovery of a 2,000 year old cave containing ten coffins.
Six of the ten coffins were carved with inscriptions reading the names: Jesua son of Joseph, Mary, Mary Magdalene, Matthew, Jofa (Joseph, identified as Jesus' brother), Judah son of Jesua (Jesus' son - the filmmakers claim).
I don't know if this is true or just another stunt but it's bound to outrage Christians and stir up a debate between believers and skeptics.

Stunt.
How did they know it was Jesus' grave? Was it empty?
they found his cell phone.
DNA specialists. Well... whose DNA are they going to compare it to? There's no file with Jesus' DNA in it.
Proves nothing
