'Dead Sea Scrolls' At The Museum Of The Bible Are All Forgeries - National Geographic

Rather than a hundred words of schadenfreude over this museum's situation, it's important to know legit and mainstream museums without a thorny agenda have been hoodwinked with forgeries. Michael Greshko makes a point about the Museum of the Bible's attempt to be transparent, the original reasons for suspicion, and the CSI-esque process of sussing out the truth rather than The Truth. Now if this Ancient Maya Kingdom Unearthed In A Backyard In Mexico winds up being a forgery too, it still deserves to be in a museum to celebrate the forger's sheer moxie. Why? Archaeologists have been unearthing this sucker since 2018, illustrating more about the myths and military of mysterious Mayan culture while under the constant threat of... cows? With a name like Lawrence Goodman, you know he's on the level. For a touch more about mesoamerican history, look no further than George Dvorsky heralding a Discovery In Mexico Sheding New Light On An Ancient Ballgame and its cultural significance being one of the oldest mesoamerican ballgame sites found to date. Somewhere between fake scrolls and ancient cities lay DHWTY's analysis of the The Buache Map — A Controversial Map That Shows Antarctica Without Ice. No, it wasn't drawn by elder things nor the fungi from Yuggoth but an eponymous frenchman with a maverick approach to cartography utilizing 18th century science. What's most interesting are the differences between it and the Piri Reis map and how Mssr. Buache was upfront about how his baby was speculative. (CS)
