Q: Stephen Pfann, president of Jerusalem's University of the Holy Land and an expert in Semitic languages, who was interviewed in the documentary, said the film's hypothesis holds little weight:
"How possible is it?" Pfann said. "On a scale of one through 10 - 10 being completely possible - it's probably a one, maybe a one and a half."
Pfann added that the inscription read as "Jesus" has been misread by suggesting that the name "Hanun" might be a more accurate rendering.
