Jesus' tomb
Apparently, there is a new film out that claims to have found Jesus' tomb in a cave in Jerusalem.
There's a good deal of healthy skepticism among archeologists, since these were pretty common names at the time. However, my question:
If this really is Jesus' coffin, and if there is still a skeleton in it, what does that say about the ressurection?
The 2000-year-old cave had already been discovered in 1980 in Jerusalem's Talpiyot neighbourhood. In it were 10 coffins, six of which bore inscriptions, which - translated into English - included the names "Jesus son of Joseph," twice "Maria," and "Judah son of Jesus."
The second Maria is hypothesized to be Maria Magdalene, while the tomb bearing the name Judah could indicate Jesus had a son.
