Boy, Jesus sure did seem to make the rounds with those burial places, didn't he?
Now I really only have two comments worth making about this James Cameron documentary.
1) When the heck did James Cameron get so old looking? Usually shaving knocks a few years off your age, but he looks like he just shot ahead to 75!
2) Does anyone else think that the markers on Christ's alleged coffin look remotely like separatist emblem from the Star Wars prequels?
The sad thing is this story is coming off as so shaky that it makes the Da Vinci code look plausible. Anyone think it's really a mockumentary?

Here's a link to a discussion board on the History Channel's Website where viewers posted comments about another one of
Simcha Jacobovici's films: The Exodus Decoded.

I thought his work on Exodus was a fun and provocative documentary. As a non-archaeologist, a lot of what he said made sense...but what he never quite did was rule out other explanations for the phenomena he observed. When other experts in his documentary disagreed with him, he simply said things like "Well, that is what it looks like to me."
