Summary
On Sunday, a controversial documentary film that aired on The Discovery Channel challenged the foundations of Christianity by proposing Jesus did not undergo a bodily resurrection three days after his crucifixion, but rather was secreted away by his disciples to a family tomb.
Journalist Simcha Jacobovici claims in his film "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" that six of the 10 ossuaries in the Tomb of the Ten Ossuaries, which was discovered in Jerusalem two decades ago, are engraved with names that match Jesus' family. Jacobovici attempts to use DNA testing and statistics to prove his theory. More information is available online at dsc.discovery.com.See the full content of this document
