JERUSALEM, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Israeli archeologist Amos Kloner, who discovered the reported burial site of Jesus Christ, has warned that such claims have not yet been validated.
The internationally renowned archaeologist said a recent film that shows the Jerusalem site as the resting place of Jesus may have been premature in its claim and warned against similar incidences taking place, YNetNews said.
"The claim that the burial site has been found is not based on any proof, and is only an attempt to sell," he said.
"A burial chamber of Jesus' family would be a discovery that would shake up the world, and that's what the filmmakers want to do," Kloner added.
The Jerusalem burial site is also said to possibly have been the final resting place of Jesus' mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and other family members.
One partner in the film told YNetNews that professor Kloner has yet to see the film.
