"THE JAMES OSSUARY YET AGAIN" (Bible and Interpretation News)

Eric Meyers told us so! Excerpt:

What I would like to reiterate once again, as I did in my Toronto presentation, when a supposedly important artifact comes to light in an unusual way and its provenance is unknown or its owner refuses to share information about it, scholars, journalists, religious leaders, and publishers should be wary. Scientific confirmation should proceed in an unbiased and unfettered way and the host country from whence the artifact derives should be fully involved from the outset. A report should be commissioned by the Antiquities Authority as it ultimately was in Israel, and their findings should now be respected and not attacked.



Nevertheless, "Jesus ossuary' promoters unfazed by forgery arrest" (Jerusalem Post). Also, according to this article an "an elaborate archeological forgery lab" was discovered in Golan's home.
