A 2,000-year-old bone box, or ossuary, inscribed with the name “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus” has been displayed in the U.S. at Pullman Yards in Atlanta.

The limestone box, discovered in Israel in 1976, is believed by many to have held the remains of James the Just, Jesus’ brother and the first leader of early Christianity in Jerusalem.

Although its authenticity was questioned following accusations of forgery in 2002, the owner, Oded Golan, was acquitted after a lengthy trial, though doubts about its true origin persist.

The inscription, if authentic, could be the oldest physical evidence of Jesus.

Some theologians dispute the box’s legitimacy, especially in light of beliefs surrounding Mary’s virginity, the Daily Mail has reported.

The ossuary is connected to a family tomb in Jerusalem, and other related finds, like a 1,600-year-old heretical document, add to the ongoing debate.
