Bone
box dates back to Jesus? !!
The ossuary, as the bone boxes are known, dates to A.D. 63 and has an
inscription in Aramaic which translates to: "James, son of Joseph, brother
of Jesus," said Andre Lemaire, an expert in ancient writing who identified
the writing on the box in Jerusalem last spring. These boxes were used by Jewish
families between 20 B.C. and A.D. 70 to store the bones of their loved ones.
Lemaire estimates there could have been as many as 20 James's in the city with
brothers named Jesus and fathers named Joseph. But it is unlikely there would
have been more than one James who had a brother of such importance that it
merited having him mentioned on his ossuary, Lemaire said.
