DNA tests?

In a new documentary, Producer Cameron and his director, Simcha Jacobovici,
make the starting claim that Jesus wasn't resurrected --the cornerstone of
Christian faith-- and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem.
And, get this, Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene.

  Let's go back 27 years, when Israeli construction workers were gouging
out the foundations for a new building in the industrial park in the
Talpiyot, a Jerusalem suburb. of Jerusalem. The earth gave way, revealing a
2,000 year old cave with 10 stone caskets. Archologists were summoned, and
the stone caskets carted away for examination. It took 20 years for experts
to decipher the names on the ten tombs. They were: Jesua, son of Joseph,
Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua. Israel's prominent
archeologist Professor Amos Kloner didn't associate the crypt with the New
Testament Jesus. His father, after all, was a humble carpenter who couldn't
afford a luxury crypt for his family. And all were common Jewish names.

There was also this little inconvenience that a few miles away, in the old
city of Jerusalem, Christians for centuries had been worshipping the empty
tomb of Christ at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Christ's resurrection,
after all, is the main foundation of the faith, proof that a boy born to a
carpenter's wife in a manger is the Son of God.

But film-makers Cameron and Jacobovici claim to have amassed evidence
through DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies, that the 10
coffins belong to Jesus and his family.
