Dead Sea Scrolls

[Ravenshire]

You're right, of course.  Someone managed to lay their hands on a load of 2200 year old parchment, made their own ink out of soot, honey, water and vinegar, carefully constructed authentic-seeming reed styli, went to all the trouble of learning ancient Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic, loaded the scrolls into a lot of clay jars (also 2200 years old), scattered some contemporaneous bronze coins about, and then managed to have a couple of semi-literate Bedouin shepherds 'discover' the scrolls in the 1940s.

I don't know how I could have been gullible enough to fall for such an obvious bit of fakery.

You're arguing with someone who believes the buy-bull was written by the English in the 17th century.
