Hello,

I was a little confused that the James Ossuary was presented in such a credible fashion during the show - and very little was said of the owner of the Ossuary - Oded Golan. Last I heard of him the IAA was going to charge him for forging the Ossuary. The patina was chiseled through, plenty of half-inscribed tablets and blank tablets were found in his apartment, chiseling equipment, un-used patina samples as well. I even thought at one point he confessed to the forgery, along with his Jehoash tablet. I thought the program was pretty interesting until they brought the James Ossuary in, and the credibility level dropped quite a bit for me at that point. Am I mis-informed regarding Oded Golan? This was the biggest issue for me by far, but no real mention by critical or defending parties.
