Israeli scholars say they have confirmed the authenticity of a 2,000-year-old burial box bearing the name of a relative of the high priest Caiaphas of the New Testament. The ossuary bears an inscription with the name “Miriam daughter of Yeshua son of Caiaphas, priest of Maaziah from Beth Imri.” An ossuary is a stone chest used to store bones.

I am thinking someone counter sueing.
Putting the shoe on the other foot, so to speak.
"Prove it."
I am sure there is the motive.
But money may play a part.

Christopher Rollston has now weighed in ( favorably) on the inscription.

“The ossuary is without a secure provenance, but…….”
Wasn’t that one of the big things about the other one?
Maybe a “more respectable” storage site than on top of a toilet tank?
Then everything he says about this one is true of the other.
This smells bad.
“If we find it is OK. But you are not allowed to find this kind of stuff.”

No. What damned the other one was when Yuval Goren scraped the patina off the second part of the inscription.....the one in the different handwriting... with a matchstick and pronounced it phony.
