The Associated Press report of the Israel Antiquities Authority, datelined
12.49 GMT Weds, is available on: http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-2804228,00.html
and the first paragraph reads:
>> An inscription purporting to link an ancient burial box to Jesus'
brother James is a modern day forgery with no link to New Testament
figures, Israel's Antiquities Authority said Wednesday. <<
I think the headline on a Jerusalem Post editorial of June 13 best
encapsulates my own view:
>> Jesus for suckers <<
P.S
I can find nothing later than Oct 30, 2001 on the "News" section of the IAA
web-site: http://www.israntique.org.il/eng/news.html
Ah, well, in terms of the centuries they deal with, 20 months is but the
blink of an eyelid, I suppose <g>
