Some of it sounds interesting. We’ll havta wait and see what ‘conclusions’ they draw.
 
According to the articles, these caves were found thirty years ago and decoded ten years ago.

Not only did they find Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Mary
Magdalene, Mathew but they found Jesus’ brother and his son Judah.
All together, more than 100 first-century coffins were found on the Mount of Olives, many bearing additional names and cross marks. While not all the remains and inscriptions were preserved well enough to be identified or deciphered, the overall conclusion was clear.

Yep! It sounds like another “Da Vinci Hoax”.

Yep, you better hope so, or it’s going to upset an awful lot of people.
 
I don’t have to hope so. These “discoveries” have come up time and time again throughout Catholic history and they usually fade pretty fast.

“Judah son of Jesua (Jesus’ son, the filmakers claim)”.

Jesus had a son??? Well, this should bump Anna Nicole and Britany Spears off the headlines for at least a day or two!!

Sadly, many folks who fell for the tales of Dan Brown are going to fall for the tales of these filmmakers. 😦
 
Rather convenient that they were all buried in the same place dont’cha think?
 
i guess this means I can eat meat today and I can sleep late on Sunday.

I suppose the media will wait until Holy week to report this. They always wait until then to drop some offensive bomb.
 
Yep ! I knew it all along, took a-while for the rest of the world to catch up.:whistle:
 
Naw:
But 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’s a beautiful story but without any proof whatsoever,” Professor Amos Kloner, who had published the findings of his research in the Israeli periodical Atiqot in 1996, told Deutsche
Presse-Agentur dpa Friday.

…

“But those were the most common names found among Jews in the first centuries BCE and CE,” he added.

Just when you think the whole DaVinci Code lunatic fringe went away, here comes James Cameron stirring up more trouble:

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.

See the funny thing is James Cameron thinks he’s got something new on his hands. The same objections were raised two thousand years ago. People are gonna watch it though, but I know my Christology professors love this because it makes people talk about Jesus. More people talk about Jesus the more doors I have to talk about Jesus. This is no different then the Jesus seminar, where people sit around with their jelly beans. Plus Cameron would never have the guts to take on Islam with the same scrutiny because we all saw what happened to the Dutch cartoonists last year.
 
Atleast this is one subject both Catholics and Protestants can both can agree upon and support each other on! 🙂

People like James Cameron are the ones I find the most difficult to pray for… those that not only blaspeme, but will also try and profit from it as well.

What we do know is that our Lord can make something good out of something so evil and wicked… may his righteousness prevail!
 
Time - Middle East Blog has a snippet. Looks like Da Vinci round two.

(sigh) This is getting old…
 
If I were to believe every book written about Jesus, I’d believe that he was a zoroastrian hindu jew who was devoured by dogs after the crucifixion and who managed to found the true faith of gnosticism and shroomism before marrying Mary Magdalene and moving to Europe to start a new monarchy and whose legacy was really a manipulative scheme by Paul and the Roman government which succeeded because neither he nor any of the apostles ever existed.

James Cameron also did a film about Exodus, arguing how the events described therein actually occurred, and that God may have been using natural events to make the prophecies happen. So at least he’s not consistently biased.

With that said, I can’t even get phased by these ‘explanations of Jesus’ anymore, for the most part. Doubly so when ‘shocking new historical discoveries’ are announced by a film producer, not a, you know… archaeologist or historian.

Oh dear, here we go again…

Wouldn’t we have had this information in Judas’ gospel that was found last year?

Or wouldn’t Dan Brown have told us about Jesus’ tomb?

ARGGGG…
