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. –Tim McGirk/Jerusalem
According to WIKI this ofcourse is being disputed.
Also According to some is the end of Christianity as we know it, (yea right)
Titanic director and Academy winner James Cameron Sinking Christianity as we
know it - at the very least shaking its foundation. From resurrection to
ascension and married with children, tenets of the Christian faith are looked at
with a new gaze.
The Talpiot Tomb could be
soon the most famous holy relic in the Christian empire. Canadian Titanic
director James Cameron and filmmaker archeologist Simcha Jacobovici have set to
prove that it once held the remains of Jesus of Nazareth and his family. The
evidence and interpretations of the artifacts will be presented in a documentary
“The Lost Tomb of Jesus” on the Discovery Channel March 4th on the Discovery
Channel at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
According to a Discovery Channel press release,
“scientific evidence, including DNA analysis conducted at one of the world’s
foremost molecular genetics laboratories, as well as studies by leading
scholars, suggests a 2,000-year-old Jerusalem tomb could have once held the
remains of Jesus of Nazareth and his family. The findings also suggest that
Jesus and Mary Magdalene might have produced a son named Judah. “The tomb was
unearthed for the third time in 1980 as construction crews blasted for new
apartments in the town of Talpiot, a suburb south of Jerusalem.
In the
demolition, children discovered a low door with a symbol over it, an inverted
“V” with a circle at its base, which has been associated with early
Christianity. The Discovery Channel stated the evidence could be the “greatest
archaeological find in history”. Cameron disputes the claim that his film is a
blow to two of the most important tenets of Christian faith, resurrection and
ascension.
As he explained on the Discovery Channel’s website:
