Israel OKs export license for burial box linked to Jesus
Israel said Sunday it has granted a four-month export license for an ancient burial box that may be the oldest archaeological link to Jesus. The limestone box, or ossuary, bears the inscription "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" in Aramaic....
The export license was granted before Israeli officials understood the nature of the find, and to examine it they will now have to wait until the ossuary returns to Israel by the end of February....The Israel Antiquities Authority, or IAA, will then examine it for up to 90 days and, if deemed authentic, may try to buy it from the collector
And here's a related story...
Is this true? Has archaeology conclusively refuted a 2000-year teaching of the Catholic Church?...Not at all. At the very most, it'll help us to refine our apologetics.
