 A controversial documentary film, "The Lost Tomb of Jesus", was produced in 2007 by director James Cameron and investigative journalist Simcha Jacobovici, and was released in conjunction with a book by Jacobovici and Charles Pellegrino titled "The Jesus Family Tomb".The book and film make the case that the Talpiot Tomb was the burial place of Jesus of Nazareth, members of his extended family, and several other figures from the New Testament—and, by inference, that Jesus had not risen from the dead as the New Testament describes.This conclusion is rejected by archaeologists, theologians, and linguistic and biblical scholars.
