Documentary debunked

I haven't seen the documentary (naturally), but I have to say that I agree that this is very flimsy evidence. These were extremely common names for first century Jews, and the suppositio that no other family but that of Jesus of Nazareth had members named Joseph, Mary, and Jesus (Joshua) is absurd.

This is an attempt to cash in on the Da Vinci code/Holy Blood Holy Cow nonsense. I'll find a better way to waste my time.
