Archaeology has yielded some incredible finds throughout history, but few are as earthshaking as the discovery chronicled in The Jesus Family Tomb. In 1980, workers at a Jerusalem construction site accidentally uncovered a tomb while bulldozing for a suburban housing complex. Inscribed on 10 limestone coffins from the first century was a startling collection of names: Jesus, son of Joseph; two Marys; and Judah, son of Jesus. Archaeologists from the Israeli Antiquities Authority chalked it up to coincidence.
Twenty-five years later, Emmy® Award-winning documentary filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici tracked down the ossuaries, and mapped and located the original tomb, which was still intact. What he discovered was key evidence that could prove the veracity of the “Jesus” and “Mary” referred to in the inscriptions. Jacobovici’s find became the subject of a controversial Discovery Channel® documentary film, and set off a theological firestorm that still rages. In this riveting book, Jacobovici and bestselling author Charles Pellegrino take us on a remarkable journey: from a time-bending trip across two millennia to an investigation of the DNA of the tombs as cutting-edge as anything you’ll see on CSI. Ultimately, The Jesus Family Tomb arrives at an extraordinary answer to an ancient mystery that could change the way we think about God, religion, and the life of Jesus.
