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)
Pages held open with a paper clip?!
Come on!
April Fools jokes are almost a month go.
just a thought, if it really was that old, surely there would be procedures in place such as hermatically sealed and temperature controlled rooms to stop the book from becoming exposed to air, and potentially destroying it, and don’t even get me started on the paperclips holding it !!!!
It’s a late and pseudepigraphical work from around 1500, and the Vatican is definately not in awe. The gospel’s view of Jesus (meh) en Muhammad (wtf) is irrelevant.
I only want to see a verse in the Bible… John3:16.
I’d like to read the translation. My guess is it’s probably a Gnostic text written after the Nicene council, but without more information this article is meaningless. The problem is, Christianity is a Roman invention written in Greek and stolen from Egyptian texts. Constantine destroyed all book before 325 CE when he invented the new religion. If we could get our hands on just a few of the books that were burned we’d have a lot of the missing pieces to christianty. As it is now, this religion is built on lies and deceptions, is guilty of the worse crimes against humanity in recorded history.

Why are there paperclips all over this bible? Something that is 1,500 years old would be extremely fragile to be subjected to the pressure of paperclips. Besides, paperclips were not invented until 1867, just over 140 years ago. Something seems fishy.
NO!!!
YAHuah will revealed His secrets!!
@entreri… Brother, do not make enemies online, There is 7 billion people on earth and only 1 billion Muslims. However, 95% of the world’s problems right now comes from Islamic jihadist. The Muslims who do not agree with the terrorists are hypocrites because they are not doing anything to prevent it or at least not speaking up against those who are out to commit terrorists’ acts against others, including the killing of Muslims. They are out to kill anyone who is not them and they want to take all the land. We’re on to you Inshalla ASSHOLES!
this discovery is no surprise considering that Byzantium in the east which was renamed Constantinople which was again renamed Istanbul of Turkey is also the seat of the syncretized Christianity propagated by Rome in the west and throughout the world
What does it matter? All religions are base on fantasy as none have produced any evidence at all that there is any kind of a god. Please stop deluding yourselves and find something constructive to do instead.
Forgery… The writing is much later than the VIth century… ANy student of Syriac can see it directly…
It seems to me that the most learned persons of their times (the ones who could read and write), mostly men, were the contributors to the texts of the Bible.
God gave them those capabilities but while they were among the most learned of their eras, they weren’t all necessarily the wisest; hence the myriad contradictions.
Add to that the inevitable failures with translating from one language to another, where equivalent words may not even exist, and it seems wise to attempt to adopt only the broadest and wisest messages of any ancient text. Being old doesn’t necessarily make something right.
We are all doing the best we can to understand the meaning and purpose of our lives.
I hope we can allow people to find their own answers to that as long as we don’t harm one another in that pursuit.
It doesn’t matter if muhammed is the last prophet. How I follow someone who murdered others, married a child and whose last dying words were “kill all of the infidels, Christians and Jews”?
Thanks, but I’ll stick with Jesus, who taught peace, benevolence, patience and non violence. Hence why He said, “I am the way.” Only by following in His foot steps can one reach heaven.
oh my god! shocked xoxo
