Synopsis

Only 29 years ago, in 1980, officials of the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA) discovered the limestone caskets, or ossuaries, of Jesus, his mother Mary, his lover Mary Magdalene and son Judah, two of his brothers James and Yoseh, and a few other relatives. The tomb was accidentally exposed by a construction crew in Talpiot, Jerusalem. The officials emptied all the bones from the ossuaries into a plastic bag which was buried somewhere in a hole in the ground. Ten bone boxes from that tomb were put in the IAA warehouse and the tomb was quickly sealed with a concrete slab. Talpiot became the “Place of the Holy Holes in Jerusalem.” One of the bone boxes disappeared from the IAA warehouse. Which one and what does it mean? Why did Jews and Christians rush to repudiate any connection of that Jesus family with Jesus of Nazareth? Why is the tomb still sealed? MYSTERY OF THE JESUS FAMILY sheds light on these grave questions.
