¥DNA was only tested from boxes #1 (Jesus) and #5 (Mariamne). These show that Jesus and Mariamne do not share a
common mother.
¥It does not show they were married, as any tomb containing members of an
extended family will contain a number of spouses
who are in-laws, not blood relatives.
¥It would be of interest to do DNA testing on bone fragments from the other
ossuaries in the tomb, but since we donÕt know the
DNA of Jesus of Nazareth, it is hard to see
how this would be of any earth-shaking interest.
