...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.

Jesus had a brother? He called lots of people "brother" just like they do now in Baptist Churches.
