Did a Scholar Really Find an Early Copy of the Ten Commandments? - Live Science

What one might call a "Proto-Deuteronomy" and others term "fake" has excited new controversy in a book written by an academic scholar. Owen Jarus has the contentions, the backlash, and the interesting and tragic back story to this reignited sensation. Brent Swancer shares his own conundrum from Biblical lands in The Strange Mystery of the Copper Scroll Treasures. Against a fascinating and important historical background, the story involves some of the same real-versus-hoax flavor, with the added spice of billions of dollars' worth of precious metals potentially at stake. It's hard to top that for intrigue, but perhaps more mentally exercising and just maybe more important to understand our technological heritage is the question about The Antikythera Mechanism: How was it Made? Greg Taylor's article strongly recommends a linked 30-minute video on the unique artifact's background, its challenges to "decipherment," and the recent University College London breakthroughs. And when talking England and mysteries, it's almost de rigueur to mention Stonehenge and its High-Level of Strangeness. Nick Redfern notes the puzzle about how the monuments's different elements arrived on site; sketches the guesses about its purpose(s); and relates some hair-raising recent accounts associated with it.
