Archaeologist Who Discovered Jesus' Burial Site: "Such Claims Have Not Yet Been Validated."
Advertisements [?]

JERUSALEM, Feb. 25 Israeli archeologist Amos Kloner, who discovered the reported burial site of Jesus Christ, has warned that such claims have not yet been validated.

The internationally renowned archaeologist said a recent film that shows the Jerusalem site as the resting place of Jesus may have been premature in its claim and warned against similar incidences taking place, YNetNews said.

The claim that the burial site has been found is not based on any proof, and is only an attempt to sell, he said. A burial chamber of Jesus' family would be a discovery that would shake up the world, and that's what the filmmakers want to do, Kloner added. The Jerusalem burial site is also said to possibly have been the final resting place of Jesus' mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and other family members.

I think these individuals (who are not archaeologists) are bucking true archaeological science and are basically selling the same theory set forth in The Da Vinci Code. Not surprising, since after all James Cameron IS a filmmaker, and his colleague, a journalist with the "story of a lifetime."
