Earlier it was claimed that merely the "brother of
Yeshua" part was added much later. NOW someone (John Lupia) is claiming that the WHOLE inscription is fraudulent. Hold on to your hats: more theories to "explain" the ossuary are issued every week.....

Of course, none of the JFK conspiracy theories come close to being as ludicrous as the "magic bullet" theory put forth by the Warren Commission. Or the ressurection story claimed by Xians.

There's nothing "self-refuting" about Lupia's analysis, leo. He's a sober scholar with a strong perception. If part of the inscription is a forgery, as it stands it is a forgery.
