1500 year-old ‘ Syriac ‘ Bible found in Ankara, Turkey : Vatican in shock !
The relic was 'rediscovered' in the depositum of Ankaran Justice Palace, the ancient version of bible is believed to be written in Syriac, a dialect of the native language of Jesus.
The bible was already in custody of Turkish authorities after having been seized in 2000 in an operation in Mediterranean area in Turkey.
The gang of smugglers had been charged with smuggling antiquities, illegal excavations and the possession of explosives and went to trial. Turkish police testified in a court hearing they believe the manuscript in the bible could be about 1500 to 2000 years old.After waiting eight years in Ankara the ancient bible is being transferred to the Ankaran Ethnography Museum with a police escort.
Ancient Bible will be shown in Ankaran Ethnography Museum
The bible, whose copies are valued around 3-4 Mil. Dollars had been transferred to Ankara for safety reasons, since no owners of the ancient relic could be found.
The manuscript carries excerpts of the Bible written in gold lettering on leather and loosely strung together, with lines of Syriac script with Aramaic dialect. Turkish authorities express the bible is a cultural asset and should be protected for being worthy of a museum.
Ancient Bible in Aramaic dialected Syriac rediscovered in Turkey
Syriac is a dialect of Aramaic – the native language of Jesus – once spoken across much of the Middle East and Central Asia. It is used wherever there are Syrian Christians and still survives in the Syrian Orthodox Church in India and a village in the vicinity of Syrian capital Damascus. Aramaic is also still used in religious rituals of Maronite Christians in Cyprus.
Experts were however divided over the provenance of the manuscript, and whether it was an original, which would render it priceless, or a fake. Other questions surround the discovery of the ancient bible, whether the smugglers had had other copies of the relic or had smuggled them from Turkey.
Vatican eyes the faith of the ancient relic
The Vatican reportedly placed an official request to examine the scripture, which was written on pages made of animal hide in the Aramaic language using the Syriac alphabet.
The copy of the ancient Bible is valued as high as 40 million Turkish Liras ( 28 Mil. Dollars)
The book states that Muhammad would come 700 years after Jesus and create Islam therefor it would kind of be foolish to convert
This has blown my mind!!!
to mil,
your comment on 6 march is exactly what i feel religion should be about
my wish for us all,every living thinking being in God’s (The One) creation is to stop religious fighting and to start loving,caring about each other as God want us to though i think it will prove much harder to do than any fighting but the rewards will be much more harmonic for everybody and everything
all negative energies will disapate and the world could be as it should have been,without war the world would have no other option than co-operation world wide,looking after the earth and all of its creatures
Lets all put our emotions aside and do an objective research in to this discovery and come out with a logical conclusion as to which religion to declare your faith to. People stereotype various religions without careful study into their scriptures. Now you find yourself on the cross road. Whom do you ask? I think you should find out from those who have knowledge and are also honest.
Didn’t you all know that also you are prophets (now writing) ? Indirect and direct prophets weather ots Jesus ( the one who choosed to come in flesh with full conscience) and others like Mohammed or all that we dont know about ( covered up by mighty chirch leaders) humans need to understand there are not such thing as seperate religion or religion. All ( ALL- Allah- Alah , I that Am, All there is, GOD) meaning WE ALL ARE ONE!! There is only 1 devided in segments in the universe to experience life.. All comes back to 1 or origin or circle.. Jesus is Mohamed is Me is You is We is God is Us is One! For ever and ever. And discussing it forms a part if the creation concept Who Am I. Well I is I. We all r one there is no : better than.. No scripts to make you ” know” ! The real scriptures on truth are ingraved in your heart. Be silent amd you will “feel/know the thruth. We all prophets of truth and untruth.. ( ying yang, positive negative, good bad, angels and devils. Scriptures bible quran books treats forums internet media social media all there to remind you Who you really are! Peace to All!
Ya thats right the devil made that bible to trick people. Science is the devil to because it proves the bible wrong.
Damm how give a flying f what anyone says
If pepeople wont to have faith in some go let them.
I looked on goggle how much it cost and it was 28million
I’ve been studying religions for years now…In depth…and cross examine every single thing I come across. I do not accept things until I have factually come to a conclusion .
It was in this search that I learned of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Their belief about Jesus is unique even amongst the Muslims. They believe Jesus survived the crucifixion and then later traveled to India to complete his missions of retrieving the lost tribes of Israel. Read the book ‘Jesus in India’. It not only biblically verifies this belief, but through various historical accounts.
The truth is for those willing to accept it.
It would be great if the Vatican would stop hand picking what goes in the bible and put all the chapters in!!
The Gospel of Barnabas is no secret its been around a long time no shock to anyone but teh Turks
umar displays once again the extreme arrogance and disrespect toward other religions which is prevalent in islam and results in delusions of superiority over all others.
This is what the devil wants. He wants all religions, faiths and beliefs questioned. He wants us away from GOD the father almighty. He wants us all to fight about whose religion is better.
It called Faith.. This is the problem with the Christian community today, just because you go to church every sunday, read the Bible every day, pray every night, or call you’re self a Christian just because you believe don’t make you a Christian, without faith all this is nothing to god. The relationship between you and god revolves around Faith and without it their is nothing………
My dear brothers…There’s not even an iota of a difference between the teachings of Muhammad (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh) ..they both preached the same message; Islam (i. e: Submission to One true God)..Jesus even said to his 13 disciples..in Aramaic (it’s in the Bible..) “Alteeth khaloon heefe munahmad bi huda kashta bi Alah” (which is translated in English today..as..”Ye should not despair..”the comforter” will come..who comes from God”) …Note the word Mun-ahmad (from the Syriac root “HMD” meaning praise..Muhammad ..means PRAISEWORTHY. ..AHMAD is his heavenly name even mentioned in the Quran..meaning “TO BE PRAISED”) also..note Jesus (Easa) Calling the almighty God as “Allah” as Arabic and Hebrew/Arabic are sister languages and Ilah or Ela or Alah is same as Allah in Arabic. I invite you all to the religion of peace and truth. ..the Religion of Adam. .Noah. .Abraham ..David..Moses..Aaron. .Zachariah. .Mary (Maryam) ..Jesus..John (his cousin..also known as yahya) and Muhammad (the Final messenger of Almighty God) who was sent with the final testament -The Glorious Quran.. (The only religious text…unchanged from the day of its revelation till date) ..May peace be upon all the noble messengers of Almighty God..I mentioned and peace be with you. 🙂
Why can’t the people decide what’s real and what’s not. I’m not a puppet to be told what to believe.
