After more than seven years, hundreds of exhibits and thousands of pages of testimony, the case against defendants Oded Golan and Robert Deutsch will be decided by the trial judge. The case, which includes allegations of forgery for numerous other artifacts, has accurately been described as the “forgery trial of the century.”
Among the case’s allegedly forged items is the 15-line inscription on the Jehoash tablet, which, if authentic, would stand as the only known royal Israelite inscription.
On March 12, two days before the verdict is scheduled to be announced, we will post a short summary of the case by Biblical Archaeology Review editor Hershel Shanks to help you appreciate the verdict as soon as it is announced.
The Baron of Arizona starring Vincent Price. c 1950....a great movie about forgery...and “truth”.
Let us worship totems! Let us rob graves and call their bones holy!! Let us deify dead humans!!
Then we will be offended when they say we aren’t Christians.
