...the "James Ossuary" which had an inscription attributing reference to the brother of Jesus - which proved to have been a forgery.

The last I heard, testing was leading scholars to believe that it was authentic. By authentic I mean that the ossuary and the carving were from the first century, not that the inscription necessarily refers to Jesus' brother, James.

The actual piece is less than two inches high.
The questionable inscription is across the widest part.

The expert who confirmed the authenticity of the inscription is Andre Lemaire, who also recently asserted the authenticity of the "James Ossuary" which had an inscription attributing reference to the brother of Jesus - which proved to have been a forgery.

Ouch! After a couple of thing like that are you allowed to call yourself an expert anymore?
