Найден Иисус Христос со своей семьей

Международная группа ученых во главе с канадцем Симхой Якобовичи рассказала о результатах пятнадцатилетних исследований таинственных саркофагов, найденных в Иерусалиме.

Такая гипотеза появилась после анализа имен усопших, высеченных на шести из десяти саркофагов.
Надписи гласили - 'Иисус, сын Иосифа', 'Мария', 'Йози' (так могли звать Иосифа, брата Иисуса), 'Матфей', 'Иуда, сын Иисуса' и 'Мариамен э мара' (Мариамне – предположительно, настоящее имя Марии Магдалины).
Все надписи были сделаны на иврите, греческом и арамейском языках, сообщает сайт Dni.ru

Власти Израиля готовы открыть доступ туристам к возможному месту погребения Иисуса Христа.

Bone box `may have held Christ`

HOLLYWOOD director James Cameron has unveiled artefacts that he said might have come from the tomb of Jesus, which once contained his remains, those of Mary Magdalene, and possibly their son, Judah.
But others said it was just a publicity stunt backed by the man who made the movie Titanic and The Terminator to promote a documentary and a book.

Cameron and a team of scholars showed two stone ossuaries, or bone boxes, at the New York Public Library surrounded by scholars and archeologists to promote his documentary The Lost Tomb of Jesus, to be shown on the Discovery Channel.

The two small caskets were part of 10 found in 1980 during construction in South Jerusalem.
Cameron said the two caskets might have once contained the bones of Jesus and Mary while several other caskets had inscriptions translated as Jesus, Mary Magdalene and "Judah, son of Jesus".

"This is the beginnings of an ongoing investigation," Cameron said.
"If things come to light that erode this investigation, then so be it."

If true, the revelations are likely to raise the ire of Christians because the discovery would challenge the belief that Jesus was resurrected and ascended to heaven.

The documentary comes on the heels of the huge success of the novel The Da Vinci Code which contends that Mary Magdalene had a child with Jesus.

Dr Shimon Gibson, one of the archeologists who discovered the tomb, said he had a "healthy skepticism" the tomb may have belonged to the family of Jesus, but the claims deserved to be investigated.

In Jerusalem, the Israeli archeologist who also carried out excavations at the tomb on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, disputed the documentary`s conclusions.

The archeologist, Amos Kloner, said the 2000-year-old cave contained coffins belonging to a Jewish family whose names were similar to those of Jesus and his relatives.

"I can say positively that I don`t accept the identification (as) ... belonging to the family of Jesus in Jerusalem," Mr Kloner said.

"I don`t accept that the family of Miriam and Yosef (Mary and Joseph), the parents of Jesus, had a family tomb in Jerusalem.

"They were a very poor family. They resided in Nazareth, they came to Bethlehem in order to have the birth done there - so I don`t accept it, not historically, not archeologically," he said.

After they were discovered, the bones were reburied according to Orthodox tradition, leaving just the boxes with inscriptions and human residue to be examined though ongoing DNA testing.

Professor L. Michael White, of the University of Texas, said he also doubted the claims were true.

"This is trying to sell documentaries," he said, adding a series of strict tests needed to be conducted before a bone box or inscription could be confirmed as ancient.

"This is not archeologically sound, this is fanfare."
