<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes the names are common, and when asked about
this, the response from the director of the movie (on the CNN channel) was that
statisticians were given the data, and when you add a person who is born to a
father with a specific name, the number drops, when you add a brother, it
drops even further, when you add a mother, it is not so common, resulting in the
statistics of 600 to 1 that this would the family. That's not too shabby,
considering that in current day DNA testing, if your number is 1 in 200 they
consider you related. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I'm not saying they are right or wrong, I don't
know that (I don't even know if that can be proven) and I haven't seen
the movie yet, but if there was any question about this particular burial
site with today's modern technology they might be able to exclude or validate
the artifacts (if there is something to validate) in ways that
technology wouldn't previously have allowed. In 1980 DNA technology was not what
it is now. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was looking around on Youtube and found a
youtuber who comments on the names and the swayed reporting of the Fox news
channel in which the reporter says "and lets not forget that hundreds of
witnesses who saw Jesus rise from the dead" and they also only have
one guest on the show and there for one side: <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They also comment that they were not rich, but
there were a lot of followers who might have been able to provide such burial
arrangements. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here is the link to Larry King (will open a
pop up window from CNN that will play the video) this has the director (and two

Jesus?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Apparently the whole thing has already transpired... 11
years ago on BBC (same tomb being documented and similar claims made in their
1996 Easter edition of "Heart of the Matter)... Of course the entire
time it apparently has been criticized because this is simply relying upon
some of the most common names of the time written on coffins (and now the fact
that bones found in the same tombs happened to be among certain family
members) and apparently the "Jesus" in question looks an awful lot like the
name of the time <FONT class=story>"Hanun"</FONT> to the untrained
eye).<BR><BR>There's one relevant (though somewhat dated) article here:<BR><A
