Summary An Israeli filmmaker has claimed that two of the nails used to crucify Jesus have been discovered.

The nails were discovered in a 2,000-year-old tomb in Jerusalem, turned up by chance in a Tel Aviv laboratory.The Israeli/Canadian filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici said that these nails would be the premise of his new documentary film The Nails of the Cross.The film follows three years of research during which Jacobovici presents his assertions -- some based on empirical data, others requiring much imagination and a leap of faith.
