2012 updates[edit]
On 26 November 2012, BBC News conducted a short investigation about the authenticity of the codices. This was conducted as a short 13 minute segment of Inside Out West (26/11/12) [31] accompanied by a written BBC News article entitled “Jordan Codices ‘expert’ David Elkington’s claims queried”.[32] The programme initially focused on the codices’ authenticity with Dr Peter Thonemann again affirming that “I’m as certain as it is possible to be that this entire body of codices are modern fakes. I would stake my academic reputation on it” adding that “all of the codices that have appeared in the media in the past year or so are products of the same modern workshop — they’ve all sorts of similarities in style, fabric, and content. It seems absolutely clear that every single one of these documents is a modern fake”.[31] A spokesman for the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA) noted, “They were shown to experts on the period; all the experts absolutely doubted their authenticity.” Author and metals expert Robert Feather was also sceptical.[31]
The BBC Inside Out programme shifted focus onto whether David Elkington was the right person to be testing the authenticity of the codices, analysing the true intentions, history and qualifications of the “self styled” academic. It emerged that 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”.[31]
