‘Jesus’ burial site discovery is just PR spin'

#5  Dunno if this was posted here before, but this story has some more details. The filmmaker -- Jacobovici -- used to make a TV series titled "The Naked Archaeologist". The content's usually Biblical archaeology, but with an "In Search Of" spin to it and MTV editing and effects. The few episodes I've seen of it have left me nauseated, but also deeply hostile towards Jacobovici. I think he's a crank.

#1  Yeah, right. Amazing that they just "find" it now, when they're just "filmmakers", not archaelogists.
