This is amazing. It appears this is probably the tomb of Jesus and his family, his wife and son! It appears there has been a great deal of pressure to subvert the information as for Christian it entirely debunks the whole rising from the dead stuff and for the Jewish academics its a case of, 'whoops he did exist'. If true, it proves a man called Jesus, son of Joesph was buried in the middle of a settlement in Isreal.

He was given an elixir that faked death on the sponge and then revived and he and Mary and Joseph were spirited away from the middle east and went to France where they had kids and lived happily ever after.

Not a new discovery. I read a book about this, several years ago (title something about Jesus and tomb). They talked about how the odds of randomly finding that configuration of names was astronomical. Also that there was a second Mary in the tomb and the evidence suggested she was Jesus’ wife, Mary Magdelene.

Thats correct. What is significant to me was the child.
@Amisja things that got left out of the story because they conflicted with the magical spirit thing
Didn't his wife and kid(s) go to Britain and begat King Arthur's forefathers? One good myth deserves another. At least in Beowulf Hrothgar was real.

This would be the scriptural take on an unresurrected Jesus:
But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile... (1 Corinthians 15:12-17a).
Harsh but true.

I remember when this was found. The problem with this tomb is:
- 99% of artifacts from Israel are fake. They may not be modern fake, but they have been found to be fake.
- Jesus was a very common name back then; so was the name Joseph.
An interesting read is [en.wikipedia.org] Yes, I know it wikepedia, but I still found it interesting.

They checked the mtrichondial DNA of the bones. I agree with everything everyone has said about the commonality of all those names but that isn't what is going on
It is far more likely than a magic boy who died behind a big stone rock, escaped and flew to heaven!
