The ossuary was later proven to be a fake.

And not even a very good fake. The box is an original Ossuary from the 1st Century... the first line of the Inscription is even authentic... it is only the part about "the brother of Jesus" that is fake... it was added in the last decade! The added inscription differes from the original incised inscription in that it is SCRATCHED into the stone... I was surprised they even thought it might be authentic...

This has been so completely debunked that I am surprised it can still be published with a straight face... any cursory Google search would find the facts. The author and the editors have NOT done their homework!
