  The Museum of the Bible (which has been investigated for theft of antiquities) Dead Sea Scrolls are fake.

  The Dead Sea Scrolls at actual Museums in Israel and Jordan are very much real artifacts.

    I wonder if anything else was going on in March of that year that might have caused it to slip people’s notice? Probably not.

    I wasn’t aware of this, and it’s a good article explaining how the forgers created these snippets, and why so many people fell for this. Thanks OP, it’s really interesting!

  Wait until you find out the Shroud of Turin has an image of some torture victim on it instead of Jesus.

    Technically Jesus was a torture victim 🤔

      I mean I wouldn’t want to be literally nailed to a stake while I’m still alive.

      And then fed vinegar to drink after being out in the hot desert sun for a couple days (or however long, that detail is kinda fuzzy for me).

  This is a great article, thanks for sharing! I think it is fascinating that so many people could be duped.
