Jesus's tomb found?

kinda scary nah? i mean its like da vinci code but with evidence..

Jesus had a son named Judah and was buried alongside Mary Magdalene, according to a new documentary by Hollywood film director James Cameron. The film examines a tomb found near Jerusalem in 1980 which producers say belonged to Jesus and his family.
Speaking in New York, the Oscar-winning Titanic director said statistical tests and DNA analysis backed this view.
But Mr Cameron's claim has been attacked by archaeologists and theologians as unfounded.
Archaeologists said that the burial cave was probably that of a Jewish family with similar names to that of Jesus.
But Mr Cameron said the combination of names found on the tombs convinced him of their heritage.

Well I for one can't beleive that a Hollywood Film Director would make a story up or try and change history, so it must be true

Yes I read he was about to announce his 'findings'.

A Hollywood producer making wild unsubstantiatable claims, that will result in massive publicity?

Like......no way.

There's 71 tombs with the name Jesus on them, within a two mile radius of Talpiyot.

...is that your only evidence?

I think the Beetles also had long hair and wore sandles in the late sixties, as did about a million people at Woodstock.

Personally I've always found men with short stubby fingers, that have long manicured nails, a bit suspect...but oh no, that can't be right because that's you!

This is ludicris. Its documented that Mary Magdaline escaped to France after Jesus was crucified. So if she did she wouldnt be buried with him.

You also have to remember that Jesus was hated (apart from by his followers, obviously) and crucified as a criminal. In those days criminals were considered below people and not worthy of a decent burial. They put the criminals in mass graves, so its more likely that Jesus was put in one of these.

Family tree of Muhammad
Muhammad traced his genealogy as follows:
Muhammad was born into the Quraysh tribe. He is the son of Abd Allah, who is son of Abd al-Muttalib (Shaiba) son of Hashim (Amr) ibn Abd Manaf (al-Mughira) son of Qusai (Zaid) ibn Kilab ibn Murra son of Ka'b ibn Lu'ay son of Ghalib ibn Fahr (Quraish) son of Malik ibn an-Nadr (Qais) the son of Kinana son of Khuzaimah son of Mudrikah (Amir) son of Ilyas son of Mudar son of Nizar son of Ma'ad ibn Adnan, whom the northern Arabs believed to be their common ancestor. Adnan in turn is said to have been a descendant of Ishmael, son of Abraham. (ibn means "son of" in Arabic; alternate names of people with two names are given in parentheses.)[20]
He was also called Abu-Qaasim (meaning "father of Qaasim") by some, after his short-lived first son.

I wonder what would have happened if some Hollywood film producer had unearthed some so called evidence that Muhammed wasn't the son of Abd Allah, and therefore not a prophet descended from Abraham?
