Also Cameron's documentary apparently skips an important detail - just a
little matter of fraud

But there is one wrinkle that is not examined in the documentary, one that
emerged in a Jerusalem courtroom just weeks ago at the fraud trial of James
ossuary owner Oded Golan, charged with forging part of the inscription on
the box.

Former FBI agent Gerald Richard testified that a photo of the James
ossuary, showing it in Golan's home, was taken in the 1970s, based on tests
done by the FBI photo lab.

Jacobovici concedes in an interview that if the ossuary was photographed in
the 1970s, it could not then have been found in a tomb in 1980. But while
he does not address the conundrum in the documentary, he said in an
interview that it's possible Golan's photo was printed on old paper in
the1980s.
