El sensacional descubrimiento de la tumba de Jesús de Nazaret, sus padres, su esposa María Magdalena y el hijo de ambos. Relato de las investigaciones científicas que conducen a asegurar que, en efecto, se han encontrado restos oseos de Jesucristo y su familia.Descubierta gracias a unas obras inmobiliarias a las afueras de Jerusalen, la tumba de Jesus permanecio ignorada como tal hasta que un equipo cientifico dirigido por los autores empezo a investigar en torno a la casual coincidencia de ciertos nombres en los osarios de la tumba: Jose, Maria, Jesus, Maria Magdalena y Juda, hijo de estos dos ultimos. Los autores, que han realizado un documental de dos horas para Discovery Channel (y que en España emitira Antena3 TV en prime time), narran con detalle la aventura arqueologica, las dificultades que tuvieron que superar, y las pruebas cientificas (estadisticas, de ADN, etc.) que realizaron a fin de asegurarse de que lo que habian intuido era cierto: a saber, que habian encontrado la tumba de Jesus y su familia. Respetuosos con las creencias cristianas, los autores no pueden dejar de subrayar sin embargo que su hallazgo sera objeto de criticas por parte de la ortodoxia catolica y romana, ya que se desmiente que la resurreccion de Jesus pudiese incluir la resurreccion de la carne.

The Jesus Discovery shows how a recent major archeological discovery in Jerusalem is revolutionizing our understanding of Jesus and the earliest years of Christianity.The Jesus Discovery is the story of a stunning new discovery that provides the first physical evidence of Christians in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus and his apostles. In 2010, using a specialized robotic camera, authors Tabor and Jacobovici explored a previously unexcavated tomb in Jerusalem from around the time of Jesus. They made a remarkable discoverytwo ossuaries, or bone boxes, one carved with the earliest known image of Jonah; the other displaying a reference to resurrection. Since the newly discovered ossuaries can be reliably dated to before 70 AD, it is possible that whoever was buried in this tomb knew Jesus and heard him preach. In addition, the newly examined tomb is in close proximity to the so-called Jesus Family Tomb, and its discovery increases the likelihood that the Jesus Family Tomb is, indeed, the real tomb of Jesus of Nazareth.

Waiting to be rediscovered in the British Library is an ancient manuscript of the early Church, copied by an anonymous monk. The manuscript is at least 1,450 years old, possibly dating to the first century. And now, The Lost Gospel provides the first ever translation from Syriac into English of this unique document that tells the inside story of Jesus social, family, and political life.The Lost Gospel takes the reader on an unparalleled historical adventure through a paradigm shifting manuscript. What the authors eventually discover is as astounding as it is surprising: the confirmation of Jesus marriage to Mary Magdalene; the names of their two children; the towering presence of Mary Magdalene; a previously unknown plot on Jesus life (thirteen years prior to the crucifixion); an assassination attempt against Mary Magdalene and their children; Jesus connection to political figures at the highest level of the Roman Empire; and a religious movement that antedates that of Paulthe Church of Mary Magdalene.Part historical detective story, part modern adventure, The Lost Gospel reveals secrets that have been hiding in plain sight for millennia.

A riveting and illuminating exploration of the transatlantic slave trade by an intrepid team of divers seeking to reclaim the stories of their ancestors. From the writers behind the acclaimed documentary series Enslaved (starring Samuel L. Jackson), comes a rich and revealing narrative of the true global and human scope of the transatlantic slave trade. The trade existed for 400 years, during which 12 million people were trafficked, and 2 million would die en route.In these pages we meet the remarkable group, Diving with a Purpose (DWP), as they dive sunken slave ships all around the world. They search for remains and artifacts testifying to the millions of kidnapped Africans that were transported to Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean. From manilla bracelets to shackles, cargo, and other possessions, the finds from these wrecks bring the stories of lost lives back to the surface.As we follow the men and women of DWP across eleven countries, Jacobovici and Kingsleys rich research puts the archaeology and history of these wrecks that lost between 1670 to 1858 in vivid context. From the ports of Gold Coast Africa, to the corporate hubs of trading companies of England, Portugal and the Netherlands, and the final destinations in the New World, Jacobovici and Kingsley show how the slave trade touched every nation and every society on earth.Though global in scope, Enslaved makes history personal as we experience the divers sadness, anger, reverence, and awe as they hold tangible pieces of their ancestors world in their hands. What those people suffered on board those ships can never be forgiven. Enslaved works to ensure that it will always be remembered and understood, and is the first book to tell the story of the transatlantic slave trade from the bottom of the sea.
