The guy who owns it claims it is "authentic," meaning the ossuary and the inscription on it dates from Jesus' time, so it could very well have held the bones of Jesus' brother, James. The scientific evidence shows that the inscription is probably a modern forgery intended to make people believe it was done in antiquity.
