"It certainly does trash the lie that Christ had no blood half siblings and therefore the lie that Mary had no more children."

As much as I would like to believe otherwise the James Ossuary is a fake.

In an article in the Jerusalem Post dated 18 June 2003, the Israeli Antiquities Authority published a report concluding that the inscription is a modern forgery based on their analysis of the patina. Specifically, it appears that the inscription was added recently and made to look old by addition of a chalk solution.
