More on the Resurrection Tomb in Jerusalem

Despite the controversy surrounding its interpretation and meaning, the facts behind how the experts entered and explored the "Resurrection Tomb" in Jerusalem are indisputable.
The recent exploration and interpretation of the so-called "Resurrection Tomb" in Jerusalem swirls in controversy, but there is only one way to look at how the technocrats accomplished the feat of entering the now-famous tomb. They explain their story in detail in an upcoming article.

The "Resurrection Tomb", technically referred to as the "Talpiot B" or "Patio Tomb" by the scholar-investigators who explored and examined it in 2010, was undertaken under the co-directorship of Professor Jame B. Tabor of the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, and Professor Rami Arav of the University of Nebraska, Omaha, under a permit from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). But it could not have been accomplished without the technical expertise, innovative capacities, and planning of the technicians and engineers who designed the unique robotic camera system that was used to explore the tomb's contents without disturbing the remains. The rock-cut tomb complex, which contained funerary ossuaries or "bone boxes" typical of burial practices of the well-to-do in the Jerusalem area of the first centuries B.C. and A.D., lies sealed beneath an apartment block. Among other things, the cameras captured inscriptions and images that, according to the principal investigators, suggested possible examples of the earliest Christian art or symbolism, depicting the concept of a resurrection, a core belief of Christianity. Although the interpretation of the finds is steeped in dispute among scholars, the art could predate by at least 200 years the earliest Christian symbols now known to exist in the catacombs of Rome.
Popularized by filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici, the film (The Resurrection Tomb Mystery) documenting the undertaking was shown on April 12 on the Discovery Channel, but it is due to be shown again in its 90 minute version on Monday, April 16th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time and in its 1-hour version on Thursday, April 19th at 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

They explain their story about how they did it in an article to be published in the upcoming June issue of Popular Archaeology Magazine.
