Why would the appostles write the gospels of Jesus, say that he rose from the dead (physically) and then accended into heaven, and THEN bury his body in a MARKED tomb with his name on it?? That just makes no sense. I men mean come one, if they were going to lie and cover up his death, they would have chucked his body in an unmarked grave, not stick his bones in a box and write Jesus, son of Joseph on it.

WHY WOULD JESUS FAMILY AND DESCIPLES MARK HIS TOMB WITH HIS NAME,WHEN THEY LIVED AND WERE TORTURED UPON THE BELIEF THAT JESUS DIED AND HIS BODY ROSE UP IN THREE DAYS??? THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE.
ALSO AS EVERYONE KNOWS: JESUS BELIVERS HAVE OFTEN NAMED THERE CHILDREN AFTER JESUS AND THE DESCIPLES, EVEN TO THIS DAY
I WAS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS DRAMATIZATION. HOW ABOUT YOU?

I was really interested in the whoel thing until they ended it with no proof of DNA testing from any ossuaries except the one marked Jesus and Mary of Magdelene. They made a lot of assumptions but did very little testing. Yes, and I agree about the names. I thought they even said they found another tomb with the same names as this one. They were common names. How many Mary's, Maria's and Jesus's do we have in Mexico?
I just think if the followers of Jesus made this whole thing up about him being God and raising from the dead, they would not have left any proof behind, like his bones in a box with his NAME on it.

A number of individuals express skepticism over this being the tomb of Christ because, they feel it would have been used as evidence of the lack of a resurrection. This presumes two things 1) that Christians at the point of Christ's death felt the Christ resurrected, and secondly that everyone would have known about the Christ family tomb. I think that very soon after the death of Christ, hardly anyone cared or knew about many of these tombs because Rome slaughtered or enslaved most of the inhabitants. These were just unknown graves and tombs to the new inhabitants of the region. Within 100 years, the ideas of resurrection etc. had taken hold and were made into universal Christian dogma, but then no one had any clue as to where the tombs or Christ were, and why look for them if he was resurrected?
It not surprising that the growing Christian community, a couple hundred years after he died, had no knowledge of the tomb. look how the Egyptians lost knowledge of hieroglyphics! It is so easy to lose knowledge of things in the present that will be important in the future.
