Default Archeological Discovery

I'm not an archeologist, so I don't know what to make of this.
This could be fascinating.

It is interesting...the potential ramifications of course are even more so! Beyond that, I really have no comment.

Somerfrost,
Yes, there are huge potential ramifications.
DNA analysis (mitochondral) of "Jesus" and "Mary" indicate no commonality.
Beyond that, I also have no comment.
I only put the links up to provide information on this fascinating story.

Somerfrost,
I also am in agreement that there is a big difference between knowing (science) and believing (faith). As you said, one can be proven, the other can't.
I also find this to be interesting.
