The image of Christ is shown in the source article...
Christmas or Easter must be coming up.
Someone notify Time and Newsweek of this amazing discovery!
Hey... The very first three ring binder, how ingenious. Did the Hitler diaries come in a three ring binder format?
The very last page translates as follows... Hillary will win the 2016 Presidential re-count. So it’s obviously not fake news.
Duh.
(Please don't tell me there are any morons who actually thought that was the case.)
looks like a fake to me.
check out the images for “oldest bound book”:
That exact same “lead leaf” “book” appears over and over again, but there’s not a singe other picture of a similar “book”.
Not only that, but that “book” would an EXTREMELY high-tech device in even some place like Rome, but to be found in a cave in a desert in by a Jordanian Bedouin beggars belief.
No Christian believes Jesus was creating a new religion; per the Bible: Matthew 5:17-19 - “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
IT’S A COOKBOOK!!!!

Fake News.
this is bunk. Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple and was in no way seeking to establish a new temple covenant. what heresy!
Tabloid. Blech.
“On 9 April Prof. Jim Davila published the following summary on his PaleoJudaica blog:
“The Greek is lifted nonsensically from an inscription published in 1958. The forger couldn’t tell the difference between the Greek letters alpha and lambda. The Hebrew script is taken from the same inscription. The Hebrew text is in “code,” i.e., is gibberish. The “Jesus” face is taken from a well-known mosaic. The charioteer is taken from a fake coin. The crocodile has a suspicious resemblance to a plastic toy. This forger was not Professor Moriarty. This forger was a careless bumbler. That makes it all the more galling how readily the media fell for the scam.”
The lead may be 2,000 years old, but the inscriptions on it bear no patina, indicating they are recent.
The Elkingtons themselves are fakes:
“David Elkington is not an academic and has “No recognised qualifications in the field” although previously using the title of Professor.[31] It also emerged that Elkington is “using the codices to raise money to support him in his work”[31] from supporters including Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia who has donated tens of thousands of pounds to Elkington. It also stated that Elkington plans to release a book and create a film based upon the codices and that “over the years he’s taken thousands of pounds as investment to make a film based on his theories”.
Live Science reported in 2011 that the are fakes
experts in writing and language notice that there are problems with the tablets in how the letters are formed and other technical problems
and guess what else? the guy pushing this "find" doesn't have any real credentials.
Again from LiveScience
Elkington's credentials may not have been questioned thoroughly enough by the media outlets that gave him a platform. "The 'British archaeologist' who is named as apparently trying to get these things into a Jordanian museum and who is one of the few who has actually seen them, one David Elkington, is not an archaeologist," said Kimberley Bowes, a Greek and Roman archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania.
"He doesn't seem to occupy any post or other academic position, and his writings on how acoustic resonance is responsible for major world religions wouldn't be accepted by any academic or scholar I know," Bowes told Life's Little Mysteries.
But the press will lap this up, especially since it undermines Christianity, which is always popular with them during religious holidays like Christmas and Easter.
More from Rogue Classicism, again from 2011 link... sounds like they are trying to recycle an already debunked theory.
Looks like a heavy read.
