Yes, I did. A few weeks ago there was also a program on cable about recent finds of Biblical antiquities.
I don’t recall how much the box was sold for but a figure of hundreds of thousands of dollars seems about right.
Of course there are also reputations and egos to be protected and stroked but at last count I believe the Israeli Antiquities Authority was treating it as an old box with an inscription part old, part recent.
At least that’s my memory of the affair.
THX THX.
