This man KNOWs what he is talking about. Educated at Oxford, teaching at Chapel Hill. Truly a gem of a professor. If you can't listen to him, you can't listen to anyone.
MM and Mary of Bethany are one; there are textual reasons to argue this -- I don't have my notes handy as I am watching this, but I sat down w/Francios Bovon at the SBL in Nashville ages ago (that wild terrarium hotel!) and he agreed. In Secret Mark there's a line "And the sister of the youth whom Jesus loved and his mother and Salome were there, and Jesus did not receive them," which links Mary of Bethany with Salome, which ties into Mark 15, and yes, if Mary mother of James and Joses was a reference to Jesus' mother why not say so? Who knows? ... But apart from all else, is it not logical that the Mary who anoints him and recognizes him for who and what he is would be the Mary to whom he appeared, and who went into canonical lore as the 'apostle to the apostles and into heterodox literature as the apostolic authority of the mystic Christianity that was subsumed under that deliciously troublesome rubric 'gnostic?' I'm not talking about a late text like Pistis Sophia, though that could retain the singularity of the two. Why don't you ask why Magdalene is the only additional woman besides his mother at the cross in ALL the canonical gospels? Mary of Bethany and Magdalene are the same figure.
Thankyou Dr Goodacre. On the Talpiot Tomb and ‘Mariam kai Mara’ I have read that Mara was a contraction/variant of Martha. We would have ‘Mary and Martha’ on one of the ossiaries. This to me slightly increases the odds for possible a link with the Jerusalem ‘Jewish Christians’. Simcha, by his eagerness has cluched at a mirage with an imagined meaning has missed a piece of real evidence. Dr G. Craig Fairweather.
It's not a myth, it's very much based on historical facts! How hypocritical of smithsonian and Birmingham to keep promoting the church orthodoxy view points when they are supposed to be about truth and science

Teaching at Duke. There's a big difference (OTOH, Bart Ehrman teaches at UNC).

Excelent video. Congratulation
great lecture
What is easier to believe a man married and had a child or he was killed by crucifixion and then came back to life?
"The genuine, original, family tomb of Jesus".
Jesus' wife looked like Oprah? Well, there's no Oprah in the Bible, but there's an Orpah in the Book of Ruth.

Somehow you are missing he is a PHD scholar on textural criticism on the highest level. He is not a clergy. This obviously went way over your head.
the real question is; why does christianity think it's superior to other forms of popular culture?
Because it literally built the greatest civilization humanity has ever known
aah... it is all about ancient foot fetish!
I believe the BLOODLINE because it was necessary for the MODERN GODS,& GODDESSES to exist!
