Jesus" will be broadcast in the U.S. on the Discovery Channel

the first airing of the program, Ted Koppel will moderate "The Lost Tomb of
Jesus: A Critical Look," a panel discussion with experts versed in
archaeology, theology, Biblical research and other related disciplines.

In the U.K., Channel 4 <http://www.channel4.com/> plans to broadcast the
program on March 4th. Two days later, on March 6th, Canada will broadcast
the program on Vision TV <http://www.visiontv.ca/>.

ACCURATE PERIOD DEPICTION

http://www.jesusfamilytomb.com/new_discoveries/period_depiction.html

There is no doubt that The Lost Tomb of Jesus is a visually stunning
documentary, setting bold new standards for reenactment.

Based on the latest historical evidence, we believe the recreations of the
Second Temple Period in our film provide the most accurate images ever of
Jesus of Nazareth, his family, his followers, his ministry, the crucifixion
and of his entombment.

We conferred with leading anthropologists, social historians, theologians,
scientists, linguists, and Biblical scholars, to name a few in order to
provide such an accurate depiction. The hairstyles, costumes, jewelry, the
casting, set design, and even the lighting were all designed with the input
of these experts.

Many of us are used to European-inspired images of New Testament characters;
we are used to thinking of Jesus as ³Christian.² But as we learn more and
more about first-century life in Israel, and we remind ourselves that Jesus,
his family, all his disciples, were Jewish, we can begin to imagine what
Jesus and those dear to him really looked like.

The Bible tells us little about what things and people looked like. We know
hardly anything about Jesus, except that he had hair "like lambıs wool", a
description which does not tell us much about his physical, human form. DNA
evidence and the study of human remains tell us much about the body type,
height, coloring, and so on. Archaeology has revealed ancient textiles,
jewelry, small artifacts like perfume bottles and oil lamps, and coins --
even crucifix nails. Historians like Josephus described such sites as the
Second Temple, where Jesus is said to have overturned the tables of the
dishonest alms collectors.

But we will allow the recreations in The Lost Tomb of Jesus to speak for
themselves.
