I'm sure this is what the AP and their leftist "scholar" friends believe.
GGG Ping!
So, the Josheph box is a fraud?
"Bible-era relics"
The Bible era? Well, isn't that ...hmmm lets see ... how many thousands years B.C. (Before Christ)?? and we are STILL in the "Bible Era" ??
In other words the Bible Era is the entire HISTORY of MANKIND. I guess there could be a forgery here and there in that amount of time.
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --
Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
The GGG Digest -- Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
So much for that one...
Father Elijah bump.
The forgers were trying to make a fraudulent dollar, nothing more... HOWEVER--
It's people like those of 'The Jesus Seminar' and frauds who created evolutionary frauds like Piltdown Man, and who are in denial about enormous gaps in the 'fossil' record... who are trying to 'change history' ...
...still, this is indeed a sad day for Biblical archaeology.
Scholars said the forgers were exploiting the deep emotional need of Jews and Christians to find physical evidence to reinforce their beliefs.
I'm sure this is what the AP and their leftist "scholar" friends believe.

probably right.
Hbr 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things HOPED FOR, the evidence of THINGS NOT SEEN. http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Hbr/Hbr011.html#1
Hbr 11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report...... [AP: read all].......
Hbr 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
Hbr 11:40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
While reading this, I was reminded of my new Christmas gift from the kids, the Luther video, and the hawking of indulgences in the village square. Some of these 'scientists' are a hoot. I figured the 'James box' would prove to be a fraud when I first heard of it, and I didn't know a thing about it. Thanks for posting this.
