Did Jesus exist?
#19
RE: Did Jesus exist?
I think you are referring to the James Ossuary which turned out to be a fraud perpetrated by one Oded Golan who is now on trial in Israel for forging antiquities and bilking the gullible ( and in this case the "gullible" includes the Israeli National Museum) out of a fortune.

The name Yaacov ("James") was as common in first century Judaea as Y'shua ( Iesou) or "Jesus" in Latin.

An actual ossuary with an actual inscription "James, son of Joseph" had the phrase "brother of Jesus" added to it which of course made the xtians wet their pants in anticipation. Israeli expert, Yuval Goren later concluded that the phrase "brother of Jesus" was the forgery and the forger had attempted to cover it so as to make it seem authentic.

Where the xtians got upset, after their underwear dried, was in the realization that there were other ossuaries in the so-called Talpiot Tomb ( which was exploited by known huckster, Simcha Jacobovici) which would be the wife and son of Jesus. That was too much for the xtians and they abandoned Jacobovici faster than an altar boy who shows up at a Vatican reception.
