    I would like to see a bit more than the Talpiot Tomb. All the names are common enough and so many tombs were discovered they were bound to find one that sorts matched up. You know when you ignore all the parts that don’t. Like why is there a reference to Jesus’ wife and son, how did a poor family afford that tomb, etc.

    Basically I am asking just because you found a room with the name Jesus son of Joseph on it how do you know it is the Jesus of Christianity?

      No. The documentary examins all of the family. And the mathematical probability of those names occuring during that time. Which was only 200 years. Which was the time he died. And ostuaries were common then.

        I am not watching your discovery channel documentary. The wiki article on the tomb is enough.

        Justify the corruption they used to get the name Mary.

          I’m bored with this. Watch it or don’t. I don’t care. But most people agree he was at least a figure in history. Same as others that don’t have pictures or physical evidence. And there are many myths. Just as everyone else from anyone over 2000 years ago.

            most people agree

            95% of the human race believes in the supernatural

            Same as others that don’t have pictures or physical evidence

            Smaller claims

              Then go take a collegiate history course and understand how history is interpreted and leave some guy on the Internet with an education of such things alone.

                  Go prove that Socrates, Cleopatra and Plato existed first. Then I know I’m dealing with someone smart enough to understand how statistics work.

                    No. I don’t have to prove gravity existed because you believe in unicorns.

                    Try personally attacking me again maybe that will make your Messiah real.
