Trial of the century

Article Abstract:

Israel's Justice Ministry handed down indictments against five men after the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced that the James Ossuary, a first century A.D. limestone bone box and the Jehoash Inscription were forgeries. This is touted to be the trial of the century, having the biggest impact on the attitude of the public toward biblical archaeology, as it would raise doubts in their minds about other heralded objects, in museums across the globe.
