First, thank you very much for your ...Hi Matthew, <br /><br />First, thank you very much for your reporting on the Ossuary Trial! It was much needed and is appreciated.<br /><br />I am intrigued that you believe in the authenticity of the box given what appeared to be damning evidence found in Mr. Golan's apt. <br /><br />May I ask if there are a few primary reasons for your belief, and how they overcome the evidence that Mr. Golan was engaging in creating forgeries?<br /><br />I personally think the photograph evidence is very interesting, but the FBI expert testimony didn't rule out the possibility that the photograph had been taken, or modified, recently.<br /><br />I find the corroborating testimony of his parents and girlfriends to be, unfortunately, tarnished with the possibility of personal bias.<br /><br />Lastly, I find it telling that a 'prized possession' was shipped to Canada so poorly wrapped, and was kept on top of a toilet in a shed. His other prized possessions are surely worth millions but are kept behind glass.<br /><br />As much as I'd like to believe that Mr Golan's passion for artifacts indeed led him to a historic find (or several), in the case of the ossuary, I can't reconcile some of these evidences with authenticity.<br /><br />Would appreciate your thoughts on the matter. <br /><br />p.s. Is the 475 page report and other pages available? <br /><br />ExpertSizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041063796363732568noreply@blogger.com
