JERUSALEM, Feb. 25 Israeli archeologist Amos Kloner, who discovered the reported burial site of Jesus Christ, has warned that such claims have not yet been validated.

The internationally renowned archaeologist said a recent film that shows the Jerusalem site as the resting place of Jesus may have been premature in its claim and warned against similar incidences taking place, YNetNews said.

The claim that the burial site has been found is not based on any proof, and is only an attempt to sell, he said. A burial chamber of Jesus' family would be a discovery that would shake up the world, and that's what the filmmakers want to do, Kloner added. The Jerusalem burial site is also said to possibly have been the final resting place of Jesus' mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and other family members.

One partner in the film told YNetNews that professor Kloner has yet to see the film.

Discovery of Jesus' burial site in doubt

Nice predjucicial comment TS. A scientist with a Jewish name states that a discovery may NOT be valid and you use it as a chance to Jew bash.
Which Gospel taught you to do that. Must have missed that reading myself.
I'm glad scientists are searching out the truth. Knowledge will only help understanding. Faith has nothing to fear from it. I'll be OK no matter what the find. It won't hurt my relationship with God. Only I can do that.

I am sure Amos and other Israelis will try their best to discredit Jesus, this is what the Jews been doing since Jesus was born.
