Director James Cameron presents a documentary style investigation into a tomb dating from the 1st Century CE in Jerusalem.

An ancient tomb around 2000 years old named the Talpiot Tomb is the primary focus of the documentary. The producers conclude that this is the site of the Jesus "Family Tomb", and that ossuary inscriptions name the members of the Holy Family from the Christian scriptures as its occupants.

  • Maria (Hebrew)
  • Judah (or Judas), son of Jesus (Aramaic)
  • Matia (Hebrew, 'Matthew')
  • Mariamene e Mara (Greek, 'Mary known as the master')
  • Circumstancial evidence also points to this site as the original location of the Ossuary of James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.
