JERUSALEM, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- A documentary produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron claims there is proof that Jesus Christ was buried in Jerusalem with his wife and son.

Cameron and director Simcha Jacobovici argue that Jesus was not resurrected and he was married to Mary Magdalene, Time magazine reports.

Their claims are based on an archaeological find made 27 years ago, a burial cave in the outskirts of Jerusalem with 10 stone caskets, Time said.

Archaeologists during the subsequent 20 years identified the names on the caskets as Jesua, son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua.

Cameron is scheduled to hold a news conference in New York Monday to show three caskets -- supposedly those of Jesus, his mother and Mary Magdalene. He and Jacobovici say they have proof in the form of DNA and archaeological evidence.
