There were some serious problems with Secret Mark.
On the one hand, Morton Smith was an accomplished scholar.
On the other hand, we only have his notes and photographs as the original ms went missing. Also, there was some possible indication that Smith was either duped or else maybe even was playing a trick of his own, it is just not known for sure, and many or most scholars no longer consider S. Mark reliable.

I was just having a bit of fun, imagining what might be afoot with the new discovery...given that its being kept hush-hush ... and COULD, I cannot know of course...but COULD be another one of the ‘hoax for profit’ situations we’ve seen a few times with ‘archeological findings’

I guess I’m just suspicious how this one may be coming down, is all.

I can’t know yet, at least not from the very sketchy news story we have so far. We will see.

Best,
