For a number of reason's I also think that was Mary the teacher's tomb. If her tomb was found in Israel that would be the place and the inscription. Jesus was such a common name that would be most likely not to be true. This is not like James Cameron’s movies but like his Find the Titanic documentary. He gets involved in high tech historical projects that he thinks will be a big draw. I suspect that the odds are closer to 100-1.

I think that it is really confusing conditional from general probability. So from the description it says that 1/190 tombs had Jesus son of Joseph on them. However the real question is what percentage of people were Jesus son of Joseph. It seems that he was saying how many tombs would we expect to have this conjunction, rather than how many families should have this conjunction a more appropriate standard. Other good points are made by Captain’s Quarters [...] […] Update: I’m not exactly sure where some people are  getting the 600 to 1 number from.

Even so I'm more interested in the truth than anything else. From the links above and others I've seen nothing that impacts my beliefs one way or the other. It'll take more than a couple of names scratched on some stones to do that. So far it's a spiffy little piece of fiction, nothing more. Free advertising for Cameron's project. It's just what they want. I do have a personal conviction at stake. Even so I’m more interested in the truth than anything else.

Are they the remains of Jesus of Nazareth and Mary Magdalene and did they have a son? From an article at the Discovery Channel website she links to: The study concludes that the odds are at least 600 to 1 in favor of the Talpiot Tomb being the Jesus Family Tomb. In other words, the conclusion works 599 times out of 600. [...] […] Polimom is “fascinated” by the question whose remains were found in the tomb in Jerusalem.
