Mary Magdalene: The Ringo of Jesus' Tomb?

The BBC has more news on the claims of world-renowned theologian James Cameron that he has proved that Jesus never rose from the dead.
The new information is scant, but here's the gist: Cameron believes that he has proven that the tomb filled with ten 2,000 old coffins was actually that of Jesus' family. What's his proof? Even though all of the names carved into the ossuaries were common Jewish names at the time, he's putting all his cards on the fact that "Mariameme" (Mary Magdalene, apparently) was buried with "Jesua" (Jesus).
Unveiling his documentary The Lost Tomb of Jesus, Mr Cameron said the chances of finding that combination of names together was like finding a grave marked Ringo next to others marked John, Paul and George.
"Mariamene is Mary Magdalene - that's the Ringo, that's what sets this whole film in motion," he said.
Except, well, wait. Why are we meant to believe Mary Magdalene is the same person as Mariamene? She was simply called Mary in the New Testament.............
