Reference

The tomb in question houses ossuaries (bone boxes) with inscriptions bearing the names of Jesus of Nazareth, the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Judas, the son of Jesus.

This crypt has been overlooked and ignored for years and exists today under a patio just outside of Jerusalem.

The authors have tracked down the location and been granted unequaled access to inspect the findings within the tomb.

The artifacts were found, recorded and catalogued by professional archaeologists in a controlled setting.

There is no question of their authenticity.

A fascinating combination of history, archaeology, and theology, the revelations inside the book will change the way we think about God, religion, and everything we have learned about the life and death of Jesus.
