I'll reserve judgment for now. This particular ossuary has a cloudy history. Even if found to be authentic, all it ultimately shows is the a man called Yosep had two sons called Yacov and Yeshua, all reasonably common names in 1st century Judea.

Makes no difference one way or another.

Since they're all such common names, does it actually have an implication as to whether Jesus existed? Is there even a way to determine if the "historical Jesus" is the same one depicted in the bible considering it's so full of miracles (read: made up shit) and has been changed so many times? I mean which parts of the bible should historical Jesus match up with to qualify? Probably just his lineage is what I'm thinking.

Excellent way to phrase it.

Jesus! I wasn't going there.

Confused Fall

I know there is a lot of doubt over this one but I was surprised by the Guardian article which implies that these have now been overcome.

Would have been more interesting had it been Jesus' own ossuary of course.

+1 for historical Jesus I guess.

Nope - just another unprovable claim - that is already questioned by real authorities of ancient objects.

Even if they could date the object to the correct time - they still have not proven that the James and Joseph involved are those of the bible MYTH.
