Did you know they found Jesus' tomb? In 1980, a tomb was discovered in East Talpiot with 10 ossuaries (a place to store skeletal remains). Six had inscriptions. The most talked about one is Yeshua bar Yehosef which is Aramaic for Jesus son of Joseph. Then there's Maria (the mama Mary), Yose (one of Jesus' brothers), and Matthew (probably one of Mary's relatives). The last two names are straight out of a Dan Brown novel. “Mariamene e Mara” translated as “Mary known as the master” (Mary Magdalene!?!), and Judah son of Jesus. DNA evidence suggests that Jesus and Mariamene were married. The odds are 600 to 1 that these names would appear together by chance! So not only did Jesus die (meaning he didn't ascend into heaven), he also had a wife and kid. Case closed! Everything your mommy told you was a lie!
Why haven't you heard this iron clad case before? Mainly because this evidence has been disputed by just about everyone including people who were part of the documentary.
MISCONCEPTION CORRECTION: Did you know that Jesus was a very common name in the first century and still is today? But I don't have any friends named Jesus! Well, do you know anyone named Joshua? In the original Hebrew, Jesus and Joshua are one in the same. We use Jesus because the Hebrew name Yeshua was translated into the New Testament Greek as Iesous and then into English as Jesus.
In fact, all of the names listed in the Talpiot tomb are common. The probability of this combination of names in one tomb is disputed, ranging from a 1 in 18 chance it's the real deal to 1 in 5,000,000 depending on how you skew the data.
As for the DNA evidence, it proved that Jesus and Mariamene were not maternally related. That means they could be related by father or have been in-laws. Genetics can't prove if two people are married.
Don't get me wrong. I love scientific and statistical analysis, but be aware that results can be spun to imply things they don't really prove. When you aren't playing with a full deck of cards, it's much easier to get the hand that you want.
If for x + y = 3, the variables must be 1 and 2:
