Testing of Bone Boxes Raises Questions
Jerusalem, April 7, 2012 (MNN) -- The first definitive scientific testing of the Jesus Family Ossuaries has now been completed. The findings raise more questions than they answer.
Canadian filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici has promoted the idea that he has discovered the tomb of Jesus Christ and his family. But the bone boxes found in the Jerusalem tomb torn open by Jacobovici have given "anomalous" laboratory results.

According to the lead scientist on the project, Professor Jerry MacIness of McGill University's Department of Forensic Digging, "Things just don't add up. For one thing, the ossuaries have an inscription on their sides that seems somewhat anachronistic, 'Rubbermaid'. Then there's the point that two of them are filled with bottles of beer. Additionally, the purported ossuaries appear to be made not of stone, as we'd expect, but of some soft, light-weight material that would seem consistent with Styrofoam. Lastly, the beer is still cold, and some ice cubes remained in the bottom of one ossuary."
But Simcha Jacobovici was philosophical about the findings. "So, they're beer chests," he exclaimed. "Big friggin' deal. Jesus drank wine, so why not beer? And if that's really Styrofoam, then I gotta tell you that First Century plastic's a miracle in itself. I'm still gonna film this crap! Maybe release it around Superbowl time instead of Easter. Call it, 'Beer Cooler of Christ' or something. The movie will pack 'em in."
