Kesimpulan bahwa kebangkitan Yesus dari kematian seperti yang dikatakan Injil adalah sebuah metafora belaka, yang didasarkan pada temuan makam dengan tulang-belulang di Talpiot yang diduga adalah Yesus yang dipercaya umat Kristiani, terlalu dini. Sebuah metafora yang bergerak hanya dalam ranah subyektif, bukan obyektif. Pilihannya antara prinsip "yang ajaib pasti tidak historis" atau "yang ajaib bisa sungguh historis".

Rarely does the world of Biblical archaeology make as much news as.when filmmakers James Cameron and Simcha Jacobovici announced.at a press conference in late February 2007 that they had identified.the remains of Jesus. Those remains, the two filmmakers claimed,.had been in an ossuary, or bone box, inscribed “Jesus son of Joseph”.that had been uncovered in 1980 during construction of an apartment.building in the Jerusalem neighborhood of East Talpiot. As if that were.not news enough, Cameron and Jacobovici further claimed that the.tomb also contained the ossuaries of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and.of Mary Magdalene. And if that weren’t enough, they went on to claim.that another ossuary in the tomb, inscribed “Yehudah [Judah, or.Judas in Greek] son of Jesus,” was the son of Jesus of Nazareth and.of Mary Magdalene, who, the filmmakers said, were married. The.Talpiot tomb, they concluded, was nothing less than the tomb of.Jesus and his closest family.
