"Fake news!" No, fake scrolls!

[True Dough]

Washington (CNN)The Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC says five of its most valuable artifacts -- once thought to be part of the historic Dead Sea Scrolls -- are fake and will not be displayed anymore.

German-based scholars tested the fragments and found that five "show characteristics inconsistent with ancient origin and therefore will no longer be displayed at the museum."

CNN raised questions about the museum's Dead Sea Scroll fragments in an article published last November, as the Green family prepared to unveil their new, $500 million museum. At 430,000 square feet, and with views of the Capitol, the Bible museum represents a significant investment for its evangelical founders.

Now scholars say the Dead Sea forgeries could be part of the most significant sham in biblical archeology since the "Gospel of Jesus' Wife," a fiasco that hoodwinked a Harvard scholar and made worldwide news in 2012. Some scholars estimate that as many as 70 forged fragments have hit the market since 2002.

Jesus's Kenyan birth certificate.

Astrolabe from Noah's ark.

Dinosaur bones, (ones that look like your butcher saved for you to give to the dog.)

Reeds from the boat that Moses' mother put him in. Certificate of authenticity not available as Franklin Graham was busy that day.

4. This hobby lobby shitshow is also full of

stolen artifacts. The Green family just doesn’t give a flying fuck where they get their shit from. The scandals have been documented for years now.
