MessageToEagle.com – Few subjects are as sensitive as religion. This highly controversial ancient Bible is believed to be between 1,500 to 2,000 year-old.
It is written in Syriac, a dialect of the native language of Jesus.
If the ancient book is genuine, it would have serious consequences for Christianity and all its followers.
According to National Turk the Bible was “rediscovered” in the depositum of Ankaran Justice Palace.
“The bible was already in custody of Turkish authorities after having been seized in 2000 in an operation in Mediterranean area in Turkey. The gang of smugglers had been charged with smuggling antiquities, illegal excavations and the possession of explosives and went to trial.
The manuscript carries excerpts of the Bible written in gold lettering on leather and loosely strung together, with lines of Syriac script with Aramaic dialect.
Turkish authorities express the bible is a cultural asset and should be protected for being worthy of a museum.
Syriac is a dialect of Aramaic – the native language of Jesus – once spoken across much of the Middle East and Central Asia.
It is used wherever there are Syrian Christians and still survives in the Syrian Orthodox Church in India and a village in the vicinity of Syrian capital Damascus. Aramaic is also still used in religious rituals of Maronite Christians in Cyprus.
Experts were however divided over the provenance of the manuscript, and whether it was an original, which would render it priceless, or a fake.
Other questions surround the discovery of the ancient bible, whether the smugglers had had other copies of the relic or had smuggled them from Turkey.

The Vatican reportedly placed an official request to examine the scripture, which was written on pages made of animal hide in the Aramaic language using the Syriac alphabet.
The copy of the ancient Bible is valued as high as 40 million Turkish Liras ( 28 Mil. Dollars).
The Bible is highly controversial because if, genuine it would totally re-write the life of Jesus.
The book contains the Gospel of Barnabas – a disciple of Christ – which shows that Jesus was not crucified, nor was he the son of God, but a Prophet.
The book also calls Apostle Paul “The Impostor”. In addition, the book also claims that Jesus ascended to heaven alive, and that Judas Iscariot was crucified in his place.
