Israeli-American scholar claims 'fake' Bible manuscript is actually oldest-known copy
Fox News
An Israeli-American scholar in Germany has challenged a 140-year-old claim of fraud by arguing that not only was a supposedly ancient bible authentic, but it may, in fact, be the oldest biblical manuscript found so far, according to newly published findings.
Shapira claimed the manuscript contained the original Book of Deuteronomy, but some experts and collectors denounced the discovery as a fraud after examination, leading Shapira to flee and commit suicide, according to reports. Idan Dershowitz, 38, now claims the manuscript is, indeed, real and far older than Shapira thought.More Related News
