Archeologist to stand trial for Fraud


Work at Gill's site at Iruña-Veleia in Spain

Eliso Gill, who found recognition for his archaeological work in Spain’s Basque region by claiming he’d discovered a unique connection between early Roman Christianity, Ancient Egyptian, and Basque cultures, is to stand trial accused of perpetrating a hoax. Gil claimed he had rewritten the history books, but instead now faces accusations that he lied about about artifacts recovered from a Roman settlement in Spain.
