An ancient limestone box carved with a flowing Aramaic inscription could be the first archeological evidence of Jesus's existence, scholars announced yesterday. The box - of a type called an ossuary - appears to have held the bones of James, the brother of Jesus. It reads: "James, the son of Joseph, brother of Jesus."

Very exciting not just because it shows Jesus actually existed (most scholars have accepted this) but because "...specifies the brother of the deceased person, not just his father -- strongly suggesting that the Jesus (Yeshua) named here was somebody important." Material for Case for Christ II????
