The Most Controversial Archaeological Discovery - The Lost Tomb Of Jesus - Archaeology Documentary

In 1980, a bulldozer accidentally uncovered a first-century tomb in Jerusalem. Of the ten ossuaries (stone coffins) found inside, six bore inscriptions: Jesus son of Joseph, Maria, Mariamene (the name by which Mary Magdalene was known), Joseph, Matthew, and Judah son of Jesus. Dismissed by archaeologists as coincidence, the ossuaries were warehoused and forgotten. Twenty-five years later, filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici and his team went in search of the ossuaries…and the lost tomb. What they found may well be the most controversial archaeological discovery of all time.

Simcha, this is excellent. I love watching all you do. You think deeper than most researchers and I can follow.

[rickipacaci]

Simcha’s tenacity is mind boggling. Bravo to him. I have watched and enjoyed so much of his work. This one blew my mind. 🙏🏻

[karensullivan]

This is one of the best documentaries that I have ever seen.

I think this is potentially the best documentary I've ever seen. There's references to what the accepted story of Jesus is, new evidence that is scientifically backed, and incredibly informative in general. I'm not a Christian or Jewish, and I still found this to be very interesting and curious about some of the things mentioned in this film. Thank you for this, Simcha! Keep up the amazing work!

I'm not a person or religious belief but i love watching stuff like this and this particular Documentary is really fascinating.

Fascinating and well documented. That there is no continuing exploration doesn’t surprise me. Man is his own worse enemy when it comes to history. Seems that will never change. Thanks to those that sought this out. ☮️✌️🖖
Thank you Jesus ❤️

The most fascinating Doc I've ever watched! Bravo to the mother in the beginning that called the police to stop the demolition, without whom we would not be the wiser!

[woodspirit]

I'm impressed with the time effort and work of Simcha. Not just in documenting this. I'm talking also about his lifetime of study and hard work just to get to this point. A rare and unique man. Many gifts not wasted.

I admire the hard work, dedication and respect this archeology team has for the tomb of Jesus' family & history altogether. This documentary has me in tears for some reason I cannot explain. Jesus & Mary, I would've been one of your very faithful followers, as I am today. This is just fascinating. 🇮🇱✝️✡️

Finding his bones doesn't or wouldn't disrupt my faith. It actually makes more sense to me as he doesn't need a body. We all become spirit

“In 2002, a box of ancient bones was discovered and archaeologists claimed that it held the remains of Jesus' brother. The "discovery" sparked an international scandal — and was later proven to be completely fabricated.” - The 'Unholy Business' Of Biblical Forgeries, NPR, 2008.

exactly! a Tomb found with an Estuary saying "Jesus son of Joseph" AND "Maria, " AND "Jose" AND Marianme" as Philip spelled it?! this is fascinating. and i never heard of it.. just stumbled upon it.

[tiotheberk]

To me it would be historically interesting if they could prove this. It only confirms the Bible with more historical proof. When Jesus rose from the grave he was able to pass through walls, appear from thin air, and his own disciples did not recognize him when walking with him until he revels himself. He was very clearly no longer in his human body. Many (if not all) of the disciples and many of the eye witness believers where tortured and put to death. None would stop teaching, or renounce him. Would you do that for a lie? They knew what they saw, and most of them died for it!!

[Nunyabiz]

I couldn’t get past the part where they ditch the bones without testing them. Even if they’re not the family of the historical Jesus it’s helpful to determine their lineage. Any skeleton DNA should be recorded for potential future comparison.

Not only is this documentary fascinating and educational, it's entertaining

[Yosetime]

Wow! That was an amazing documentary! From the beginning I felt like I was on a treasure hunt the whole time. Excellent work!!

[gangoffour]

Anything to do with archeology is usually better than other videos !

[blitzkriegspearfishing]
