That's exactly the point of archaeologists who have studied this. Mary and Joseph were very common names, as was Jesus. But most experts say that the third name isn't Jesus anyway. It was mistranslated. Whether one believes or not, this "discovery" of a tomb was nothing special. What's more it's location doesn't correspond to anything else that is known about the historical (not religious) Jesus, son of Joseph and Mary. On Feb 26, 2007, at 5:32 PM, Tom C wrote:
