Is this a first class, second or third class?
“The most significant item “
We’ll, there is also that Shroud thing from about the same time …
Good for the Pullman Yards.
Complete nonsense. A box with a name from the period as common as today’s John Smith, or Jose Hernandez ( I put that last one because we’ve been flooded with our friends from the South)
Seriously? This was long ago proven to be a cheap fraud. The astonishing thing was how gullible researchers has been; a patina was found to be 2,000 years old, but the etching of the name was found to be very modern. Someone found an old ossuary and decided that it could get more attention with the right etching.
Has anyone found the Holy Poop of Jesus, yet?
“The inscription, reading “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus” has been authenticated by two eminent paleographers (specialists in dating, interpreting and authenticating inscriptions): André Lemaire of the Sorbonne and Ada Yardeni of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In 2003, however, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) appointed a committee of scholars to study the “brother of Jesus” inscription and report its findings. The committee concluded that the inscription was a forgery”.
No actual proof, just probabilities. Kind of like looking at the small rock encased at the Edicule as being what’s left of the rock that encased Christ tomb. I get faith but prefer fact. I was pretty disappointed visiting the Temple Mount and all of the history in the surrounding areas. Beautiful no doubt, interesting but everything explained and described was followed by “probable, most likely, assumed”.
i seem to recall that this was debunked decades ago when it first came out. what has changed?
