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.
This article came out in March of 2020
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.
cough cough Nah, nothing cough wheeeeeeeze going on back then
uhhh wouldn't a lockdown make more people binge read news?
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!
Plot twist - it's a forgery too
News reposts should include (Year) at the end of the title.
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 too 🤔
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).
I think there's a theory that the vinegar was posca, a mix of vinegar and water that was better than straight vinegar. Not that that was really a kindness since he'd survive longer and suffer more
It was essentially the Gatorade of the day, a roman soldier would have been giving him part of their rations, essentially.
Though idk where you're getting the part about suffering more, you don't die from dehydration during crucifixion, you die because you can't breathe anymore.
i think he died before the end of the day?
iirc they break your shins so that you die faster if its taking too long, and there was a prophecy that none of jesus' bones would be broken.
No paywall :
This hobby lobby folk that run that museum sure are dipshits.
This is pretty funny "we're victims, we're victims of deciet."
Yeah I'd say.
Oh fuck, so neon genesis evangelion was all a lie?
Praise to our Lord and Savior, Shinji Ikari
This is a great article, thanks for sharing! I think it is fascinating that so many people could be duped.
Lol.
Haha
Heh
