Hidden in Plain Sight! The World's Oldest Complete Torah Scroll!


In the archives at Bologna University in Italy, a 118 ft long scroll of the complete Torah was discovered to be much older than previously believed. The scroll was re-examined by Professor Mauro Perani, who had noticed that the writing appeared to be from a Babylonian tradition, containing letters and symbols that were later forbidden by Jewish scholars. This would mean that the Torah would actually be more than 800 years old, as opposed to the earlier dating to the 17th century.

How can we be certain of the new date of the scroll?

Since the scroll is on lamb skin, it was able to be carbon dated. The tests by the University of Salento in Italy and the University of Illinois in the US, confirmed the theory, dating the text to between 1155 and 1225 CE. So congratulations to this sleuthy professor and his meticulous detective work!

The university plans to photograph and upload digital images onto their library’s website. Soon, everyone will be able to view this amazing re-discovery!

Upcoming Review of the Film Sirius


So I had the opportunity to view Dr. Steven Greer's film, Sirius, last night and at the very least, I would say this was well worth viewing. I plan to give a full review in my Amazing Discoveries Newsletter, which will be out later this week. If you do not already receive the newsletter, visit my website to sign up!

With that being said, let me also announce that due to some apparent issue with the servers at Yekra, the media company responsible for distributing the film, many people did not receive the email containing the order specific link required for viewing in a timely manner. This caused the planned radio after party panel discussion to be postponed until this Friday, April  26 at 10:00pm EST.

Hopefully, this did not cause too many difficulties for people and everyone was still able to see the film, Sirius. I would definitely recommend the film, but not without making a few points clear, as I discuss in this month's Amazing Discoveries Newsletter.

Perhaps disclosure is closer than we thought...
