This Year's Easter time "expose" is a fake (again)

The text appearing in the codices contains numerous inconsistencies and anachronisms.

For the last few years, there are headlines by amateurs who claim Christianity is wrong.

Usually these stories, from the Judas gospel to the bone box of James to the tomb of Jesus, are loudly proclaimed by the press, and then a few weeks later, after the experts check out the claims, the stories are quietly withdrawn.

This year, the hoax has already been debunked: by two different secular scholars.

Fake relics and bible "discoveries" have been around for years, so these are not exactly new. But why does the press believe those who "announce" a finding by someone without credentials.

True, Schliemann did the same thing a hundred plus years ago when he "found" Troy. And the press ate it up. But the "troy" he found was 1000 years too old, and in the last 120 years, one does expect a bit more professionalism in archeology.
