In 1980, a bulldozer accidentally uncovered a first-century tomb in Jerusalem. Of the ten ossuaries (stone coffins) found inside, six bore inscriptions: Jesus son of Joseph, Maria, Mariamene (the name by which Mary Magdalene was known), Joseph, Matthew, and Judah son of Jesus. Dismissed by archaeologists as coincidence, the ossuaries were warehoused and forgotten. Twenty-five years later, filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici and his team went in search of the ossuaries…and the lost tomb. What they found may well be the most controversial archaeological discovery of all time.

    “In 2002, a box of ancient bones was discovered and archaeologists claimed that it held the remains of Jesus' brother. The "discovery" sparked an international scandal — and was later proven to be completely fabricated.” - The 'Unholy Business' Of Biblical Forgeries, NPR, 2008.

    I think this is potentially the best documentary I've ever seen. There's references to what the accepted story of Jesus is, new evidence that is scientifically backed, and incredibly informative in general. I'm not a Christian or Jewish, and I still found this to be very interesting and curious about some of the things mentioned in this film. Thank you for this, Simcha! Keep up the amazing work!
  • Simcha’s tenacity is mind boggling. Bravo to him. I have watched and enjoyed so much of his work. This one blew my mind. 🙏🏻

    Fascinating and well documented. That there is no continuing exploration doesn’t surprise me. Man is his own worse enemy when it comes to history. Seems that will never change. Thanks to those that sought this out. ☮️✌️🖖 Thank you Jesus ❤️

    Simcha, this is excellent. I love watching all you do. You think deeper than most researchers and I can follow.

    I'm impressed with the time effort and work of Simcha. Not just in documenting this. I'm talking also about his lifetime of study and hard work just to get to this point. A rare and unique man. Many gifts not wasted.
  • I admire the hard work, dedication and respect this archeology team has for the tomb of Jesus' family & history altogether. This documentary has me in tears for some reason I cannot explain. Jesus & Mary, I would've been one of your very faithful followers, as I am today. This is just fascinating. 🇮🇱✝️✡️
  • Simcha has balls of steel.. "It seems unnecessary to ask permission to unseal a tomb from an organization that never sealed it".. It's His respect for these places of Archeological interest that allows Him to be so protected. He literally opens doors with His HEART.

    It’s shows like this that reconfirm and strengthens my faith. When they showed that they used the lab at the police department in Suffolk county, where I live, that’s all I needed. It’s amazing that even today, God is speaking to us that he is there, we only have to stop and listen. God bless those archaeologists that worked, and fought to uncover the truth. 😊

    Not only is this documentary fascinating and educational, it's entertaining
  • I'm not a person or religious belief but i love watching stuff like this and this particular Documentary is really fascinating.

    I couldn’t get past the part where they ditch the bones without testing them. Even if they’re not the family of the historical Jesus it’s helpful to determine their lineage. Any skeleton DNA should be recorded for potential future comparison.

    I've watched a number of these and the bias I see sometimes within the archaeology field is stunning. Some are so dismissive if it's at all Biblically related. Those tombs were amazing even if they had nothing to do with the Biblical story.
  • Finding his bones doesn't or wouldn't disrupt my faith. It actually makes more sense to me as he doesn't need a body. We all become spirit

    We can surely have a pretty good idea of how frequent the name Yeshoua was during the first century. One way is to gather all the male first names from the New Testament, and/or gather every male first name on each ossuary found at the museum this documentary talks about. From this list, I think we would get a good idea of how popular was a certain name back then. I feel like the name Yeshoua wasn't that popular!
  • Very Very interesting!! The editor of the is a Genius !! Superbly put together!!! Masterpiece !! Of work and Art. Thank You 😊 Sir.
