The only thing from 1995 at the link you cited is a reference to an article comparing the Testimonium Flavianum to the Gospel of Luke. Since the Gospel of Luke wasn't discovered in 1995, I can only assume you/they are referring to something else.sorry: http://www.josephus.org/testhist.htm this link contains a time line and in 1995 an observation was made..
Do you have a link that might actually tell us about this 1995 discovery? Because otherwise, some anonymous web doodle isn't evidence of anything.
http://www.josephus.org/question.htm this contains a load of q&A both citing reason to doubt but more over far more legit reasons to believe.
That doesn't mention any new discovery either. The only reference to 1995 there is regarding the aforementioned article which discusses the Testimonium in relation to the Gospel of Luke, and a quotation of it in the work of a tenth century writer which appears to simply be a quotation of earlier mentions (see here). The latter is easily explained as relying on the Eusebian account by way of the Syriac. Anyway, that version was known in 1909 and so cannot be the new discovery to which you refer.
What new discovery are you talking about?
