THE DA VINCI CODE - DISCOVERY CHANNEL MAY HAVE FOUND JESUS'S TOMB

Just when it seemed that the controversy over The Da Vinci Code's premise that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and produced a child had faded, Discovery Channel announced Sunday that it plans to air a documentary on March 4 that suggests that it has found possible proof of that hypothesis. The documentary, The Lost Tomb of Jesus, executive produced by Titanic director James Cameron, tells of the discovery of a 2,000-year-old tomb in the Talpiot area of Jerusalem in which 10 ossuaries, or bone boxes, were found bearing the names Jesus, Joseph, Mary, Matthew, Mary Magdalene and "Judah Son of Jesus." In a news release, Cameron said, "It doesn't get bigger than this. We've done our homework; we've made the case; and now it's time for the debate to begin."
