    Bad form: you supply two quotes without any means of verifying them. Furthermore, the following appears in the Karen Laub article:
    Did you resist including this information, or simply resist spending the very few minutes required to find it?

    This is no different than any other ancient tomb. Can historians really prove anything? So only reason why the article mentioned this was to maintain their religious PR. Some greek graffiti on a wall might offend those who claim John the Baptist and the host of bibical characters never existed.


    I think this lends more credability to the evangelism of James where Zachariah dies a martyr.
