Can you think of anything potentially more terrifying than discovering
dinosaur DNA preserved in amber?

A burial box...dating from 1st century...with the Aramaic inscription "James
Son of Joseph brother of Jesus"...with unidentified bone chips inside...

Experts seem to be in agreement on the burial box being genuinely from the
1st century...the only question being:  How many James's were there with a
father named Joseph and a brother named Jesus?

And the question also exists: whose bone chips.  It doesn't have to be
James's.  Often the remains of family members got combined.......

Maybe the answer to the question: WWJD...will finally be answered.
