For many years, Christians around the world have been visiting Jerusalem to see the Church of the Holy Sepulcher with their own eyes. However, the creators of the documentary about the Talpiot tomb claim that the remains of Jesus Christ may be located in it. And even his family …
According to generally accepted statements, Jesus Christ was crucified between 30 and 33 AD. This happened at Calvary, which is still a place of pilgrimage. However, there is also the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which is also visited by those wishing to see with their own eyes the resting place of the son of God. But director James Cameron conducted an investigation, during which he found out that there is another place suitable for the tomb of Christ. It is located about 5 kilometers from Jerusalem and is called the Talpiot Tomb.
It was discovered back in 1980, but the discovery was made public in 2008 by Cameron and journalist Simha Yakobovich. They released a film that can be viewed under the title "The Lost Tomb of Jesus." The film tells about the Talpiot tomb, in which burial boxes with the names Jesus, Mary, Joseph and "Judas son of Jesus" were discovered. They were found in the 1980s when there was a construction boom in Jerusalem. Then archaeologists unearthed more than 800 graves. The study of the find was undertaken by a scientist from Israel Aryeh Shimron, who spent about 35 years on the find. He did various studies to confirm or disprove the theory of Jesus.
It is worth noting that the boxes do have the names "Yeshua, son of Joseph", Mary, Judas and even Yose, brother of Jesus. However, most believers, researchers and theologians do not recognize this find. After all, it contradicts the main miracle of Christianity - the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ.
At the moment, it has not been possible to establish exactly who the remains in these ossuaries belonged to, so researchers can only guess where the real tomb of Jesus is.
