built 629 days ago
The Lost Tomb of Jesus is a documentary co-produced and first broadcast on the Discovery Channel and Vision TV in Canada on March 4, 2007 covering the discovery of the Talpiot Tomb. It was directed by Canadian documentary and film maker Simcha Jacobovici and produced by Felix Golubev and Ric Esther Bienstock, while James Cameron served as executive producer. The film has been released in conjunction with a book about the same subject, The Jesus Family Tomb, issued in late February 2007 and co-authored by Jacobovici and Charles R. Pellegrino. The documentary and book's claims are currently the subject of controversy within the achaeological and theological fields, as well as among linguistic and biblical scholars.

He concluded that the odds are at least 600 to 1 that the combination of names appeared in the tomb by chance. The methodology of this study has been submitted to a journal, but in the meantime a summary can be found on the Discovery Channel[5][24] and documentary[25] websites. A more detailed explanation of the statistical approach can be found ... on Prof. Andrey Feuerverger's website[26] as well as in a recent interview given to Scientific American.[27] The frequency distribution for names prevalent during the period of time during which ossuary burials took place was inferred by studying two key sources:
