Wich one is then Ancient Admin?

[Ancient-Admin]

Some Archialogists say they have unearthed thecoffin of Jesus Christ and his family. The question is.....which Jesus? My name is Michael...lots of people are named Michael today. I have another guy named Michael that lives just down the street. Two thousand years from now.... How many Michaels could be found in the local cemetary? How would they know wich one is the Ancient Admin?

well, the thing is, the whole family buried with him is a little too close to misunderstand, if you are buried with like 5 other relatives, we will know which you are.... or, we could have "ANCIENT ADMIN LIES HERE" inscribed on your headstone for ease? which do you prefer?

I think you may have misinterpreted Ancient Admin's intent.

Let me try to sum it up a little better: How do the archeologists know that the tomb they have found belongs to the Jesus of Christianity? 'Jesus' was actually a rather common name in Biblical times. How do they know this tomb isn't Jesus Smith's? Ancient was simply giving readers a modern day comparison by using his name, which is also fairly common for this day and age, and presenting us with a situation similar to the controversy that is now in the news. Historians really have no way of proving that this recent discovery is, indeed, the burial location of the Jesus known all over the world. His last name, as with all men and women mentioned in the Bible, was never given (contrary to popular belief, "Christ" is a title, not a name); a discovery such as this one can not be proven.

and i believe you misinterpret mine, as i answered that question. They found him with people that all were associated with jesus, ie Mary magdeline had a rare spelling of her name that was found in the tomb, jesus son of joseph was the inscription on jesus', there was also a brother of jesus, with the same name a sthe biblical one. i meant to say they identified by people buried with him.

You both make a point that can propbably be debated for the next two thousand years. Those that believe will continue to believe. Those that have doubt...will continue to doubt. I myself am not a believer but do have doubts about the scientific findings these archioligists are presenting. If you are a true believer of the religion they cant be right. If you are a doubter...anything is possible. As for my tombstone.... "Here lies the Ancient Admin...45-1".
