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)

  1. i totally dont concur with this new revelation..its clear whoever wrote this had a negative feeling on christianity and whether it is barnabas or the devil himself who wrote this sh*t it does not make any sense…it is clearly stated in the holy scriptures that JESUS(the son of the most high God) was crucified, died, rose on the 3rd day ànd is sitted at the right hand of God and will one day come back to pick those who will hearken to His message.

  2. One does not need to be exceptionally bright to understand that all mythologies of the present time had their origins in a past long before the Levant, and Mesopotamia etc. had begun to go to sleep on their own and deny the reality of their true evolving origins greater than 200,000 years ago.

  3. Utterly fantastic to find a piece of the past….Theology is great for those who dedicate their lives to teaching the subject in whatever religion in a proper way….”No fanaticism”…..It’s about how every person lives their lives on a daily basis according to their beliefs that would make a difference in this present world of we now live…

  4. I don’t think that the police are reputable authorities on the matter of ascertaining age of historical documents. Hence, any implications that this article makes as to the possibility of this being a bible from 1500+ years ago are unconvincing. The logical fallacy used here is called “appeal to a questionable authority.”

  5. Lol why do people think this book is the gospel of Barnabas? The two are different. The Gospel was written in spanish and italian. This book is in Aramaic. The Gospel was from the middle age. This book is 1500-2000 years old! Also the Gospel of Barnabas is well known to be false among Muslims and christians because it says Muhammad is the Messiah not Jesus which is the other way around in Islam. BUT this book doesn’t say so. In my opinion I think a religion must be perfect, free from doubts, and just direct and logical. Unfortunately christianity has none of the above but Islam does have them all.

  8. I have to say I don’t know if Buondaw is a muslim or not but what he is saying is what Islam teaches humanity to do. Surah 16 ayat 43. And We sent not (as Our Messengers) before you (O Muhammad ) any but men, whom We inspired, (to preach and invite mankind to believe in the Oneness of Allah). So ask of those who know the Scripture [learned men of the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], if you know not.
