tomb found by James Tabor

About a month ago, I had the opportunity to attend a conference on the Dead
Sea Scrolls with the exhibit in Charlotte. One of the things that I learned
was that they had been able to collect DNA from the lice on the combs found in
the Qumran community. This came from Dr. Jodi Magness.

One of the speakers was Dr. James D. Tabor. I found him most interesting.
Tabor's latest book is released today and tonight he will be on 20/20 on the
ABC network. He believes that he has found the tomb of Jesus family. He said
that scientists are very close to using a swab on the inside of an ossuary to
capture DNA from the wall of the ossuary.

I would be interested in your thoughts if you find time to see the program or
read Dr. Tabor's book or know anything about his work.
