[Boatanchors] One Of History's Worst Shipping Blunders

Wed, 12 Mar 2003 00:11:10 -0500

Glen,	

Observe that I did not quote any inscription. I indicated that Jesus Christ was
the brother of James so that readers could make the connection. Nothing more.
All three were common names, the original inscription was difficult to read
before the disastrous shipping blunder and resultant damage to it. The point
was, Glen, even priceless artifacts are poorly packed, not just our beloved boat
anchors. It does not matter what is shipped, "idiot" is still spelled the same
way!

There was no date!  It has been dated from the first
century AD.

Also, the inscription was "James, son of Joseph,
brother of Jesus" ("Christ" was NOT part of the
inscription).  Now, all three names were quite common
in that part of the world during those times.  Thus,
the jury is out on this one!  There are people who
believe that it has a connection and those who don't
believe there is a connection to one Jesus Christ!
