Are Jesus & Mary buried in Pakistan & Kashmir?

Are Jesus & Mary buried in Pakistan & Kashmir? Hmm. Suzanne Marie Olsson, a New York-based researcher, claims that the earthly remains of Jesus lie under a Muslim saint's tomb in Kashmir. She is using DNA testing on remains from the Pakistani town of Murree that she believes to be those of Mary. Olsson also believes Moses is buried in Bandipore in north Kashmir and Solomon at Takht-i-Suliaman in Srinagar. "You have more Christian holy sites than even Egypt or Israel," she said in an appeal for help from Kashmir chief minister Farooq Abdullah. (Via alt.muslim)
Has anyone heard about that researcher that claims Jesus and Mary are buried in Pakistan and Kashmir?

No, no, no, that's the Jesus and Mary Chain.
"Please! Please dig us up! Hurry!" came the muffled Brit cries from under a large cairn, "We have a gig at Chili's tonight!"

Mary's body went directly to heaven.
Jesus's body also disappeared and then he showed up with wounds and then he also went into heaven (ie. his body)
They can't be burried anywhere

No rodii, I haven't heard a thing about it! Maybe someone should post it on Metafilter. I bet interesting conversation would ensue.

Even when they analyze the DNA, how on earth are they going to prove anything with it? How do they know what Mary's DNA should be?

Truthfully this only overlaps 25% the previous thread. Though one must indeed wonder why all these people from Palestine trekked to the Hindu Kush to get buried, even if it is a nice vacation spot. Was it the ancient world's Ozarks?

Dig him up! Dig up that corpse! If you really love Jesus Christ, you'll haul his bones out of the ground to prove my daughter wrong! Dig up his grave! Pull out his tongue!
The above original post on this topic was so shrieky and hysterical that I never bothered to read it. At least laz-e-boy began his post with a sentence telling us in clear, simple language what the heck he was getting at. I mean, the story's so weird it doesn't need embellishment.

Olsson says she wants to unravel the truth about the shrines so that the scenic Himalayan region of Kashmir, ravaged by a decade-long Muslim insurgency that has claimed 35,000 lives, can become a pilgrimage centre for Christians and Muslims
Unfortunately if they do happen to find THE BODY OF JESUS, it will mean THE END OF CHRISTIANITY. Duh.

Every year I go the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final. My team won't be there this year, but I will still be there singing a song about Jesus wondering about south-western England with no shoes on. Bloody barmy I know, but that's me.

If you had, rather than choosing to wallow in ignorance, you would have realised that it's nothing more than a quote from the Simpsons.

Just go with it, obi. It's the new fashion: thanking the double poster for bringing something to one's attention and insulting the original one to boot. ;)

Double posters are victims. They deserve our compassion not our enmity.

if a body disappears and reappears thousands of miles away in the ground, it's a miracle. and should be celebrated. perhaps Kashmir is heaven. the cloth is nice anyway ;)

Who watches the Simpsons? Isn't that some kind of cartoon program?
