Apostle Jacob’s Coffin Made by Aliens

Scientists have discovered that the coffin of Jesus Christ’s brother was made of an unknown material
The following Aramaic writings are on the off-color coffin: “Jacob, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.”
As far as Jacob’s coffin is concerned, the most incredible theory is as follows. Aliens decided to mark the site of his burial. The coffin was made in the shape of other coffins, but the aliens made it of their own material, from their planet. They wanted the coffin to be preserved for hundreds of years as some sort of sign for us. One could suppose that the coffin plays the role of a radio beacon, transmitting some information, but this is not really believable.

Seems the lil green men made it.

a couple MAJOR problems with this story:
1. that is an ossuary, not a coffin. it is a stone box to hold the bones of the deceased after the body has laid out for up to 3 years while everything else rots away.

2. the inscription reads "JAMES, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" there is record of Jesus having a brother James, but no record of any Jacob

3. the ossuary has been undergoing scientific testing to determine its authenticity. it was discovered in the apartment of an Israeli who has promoted other pieces of antiquity which later were determined to be frauds. he has a supply of 2000+ year old dirt and other materials that have been gathered at excavation sites which can be used to create and age "relics"

I don't really get it, but does this mean...

Is Jesus hiding in there?

No not Jesus but it is suppose to be James the brother of Jesus (Jesus never had a brother name Jacob)
But it is not proven that the bone belongne to him...for the Alien part i'll have to ask ...they are coming for supper tonight

Wow. With all their alien technology, they still manage to design something as crap as that.

Maybe they should watch Star Trek or Stargate and get some design ideas for boxes and the like.

Those wacky aliens! What will they come up with next?
