I could not believe this when I caught it on the History Channnel last night.
Joseph was the earthly father of James and Jesus. A burial artifact was
discovered that purportedly contained the bones of James. Keep in mind here,
James being the son of Joseph, and brother of Jesus Christ. This was inscribed
on the artifact. It was shipped to Canada from overseas. Yep, it arrived
damaged! It was not professionally packed. (Mail Boxes Etc.?) It was not even
packed by a museum or shipped by their normal means. The damage is irreparable
and the inscription now even more difficult to read.
You have to wonder if anyone anywhere knows how to pack anything after an
incident like this. How have we humans managed to survive while being so stupid
anyhow? Must be gunpowder!
