What happened to the burial box allegedly containing bone from Jesus' brother? Was it confirmed as authentic? The experts who examined it for the Israeli government said it was a fake-- a modern inscription on an ancient box. The chisel marks went through the patina.

The most recent news that I heard, was that the box is an authentic burial box from the era, but doubts are held about the inscription - it may be a recent addition.

to the best of my memory, it wasn't deemed authentic but I forget why
