This film begins where “The Lost Tomb of Jesus” left off. Following several lines of enquiry including DNA, statistics, chemistry and archaeology, filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici investigates questions raised in the original film. We also follow the excavation in Jerusalem of an unexcavated tomb from the time of Jesus – a first-time ever event. Rediscovered in the course of the first film, this tomb, now located under the patio of a private home, is close to the so-called “Jesus Family tomb” in which ossuaries, or bone boxes, were found bearing the names of the family of Jesus. In the 1st century, extended families often had adjacent tombs. Will this new investigation and archaeological excavation support or undermine the hypothesis that Jesus and his family were buried in the Talpiot tomb? 120 minutes • Documentary • Produced in association with: Discovery Channel US, Vision TV • Production year: 2011 |
