Doubts Over Harvard Claim Of 'Jesus' Wife' Papyrus

 Is a scrap of papyrus suggesting that Jesus had a wife authentic?

Scholars on Wednesday questioned the much-publicized discovery by a Harvard scholar that a 4th century fragment of papyrus provided the first evidence that some early Christians believed Jesus was married.

And experts in the illicit antiquities trade also wondered about the motive of the fragment's anonymous owner, noting that the document's value has likely increased amid the publicity of the still-unproven find.

It is believed by many that Leonardo De Vinci created the Shroud of Turin.Among his other remarkable talents he was a master forger.He also devised a method of forgery that has,even with todays technology,defied attempts to accurately date.This document will eventually be deemed manufactured evidence created after the fact.
