NG (the publication of choice for Chinese fossil hoaxmeisters) must have been a little short on material so they threw in this article as filler.

infra/ultra spectral techniques have been used on the Qumran scrolls for some time now.

These are garbage dumps, not library caches. If the mss were in the garbage, there must have been a good reason. Before the days of Gutenberg and automated binderies, scrolls were not trashed like today's paperbacks.

The latest volume includes details of fragments showing third- and fourth-century versions of the Book of Revelations.
Even the greenest of writers should have known that there is no such book as "Revelations." So much for the credibility of any aspect of this article.

Intriguingly, the number assigned to "the Beast" of Revelations isn't the usual 666, but 616.
Equally revealing is the author's ignorance of the variant "616," which is no recent discovery.

If this were Comp 101, the paper might get a C on style and a D- on content.

Ack! I'm working on my blog on this, and I'm going to say some of the same things!

Not necessarily. I've seen Christian writers call it "Revelations." Hell, half the churchgoers at my workplace pronounce it in that manner.
