The alleged discoveries by a documentary filmmaker who says he may have found the remains of Jesus Christ and his family in Jerusalem are stirring a lot of debate and controversy, but among them lie another interesting claim – that the tombs contain the resting places of some of Christ's disciples.
The team of scientists, lead by biblical scholar James Tabor and documentary filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici, co-authors of the newly released book, The Jesus Discovery: The New Archaeological Find that Reveals the Birth of Christianity, claim the newly explored sealed tomb dating to the 1st century CE, which they examined in 2010 with a robotic camera, is proof that the nearby tomb discovered a year earlier contains Jesus' remains.
