Special thanks to Peter Thonemann who did the legwork on the Greek and was the first to note definitively that the copper tablet was fake. Special thanks also to Robert Deutsch who linked some of the images to coin iconography!

@derZeitzeuge That might be the worst position you can hold. No one is attacking the authenticity of these codices because of religious reasons and there are no "religious networks" involved--only students and scholars. The "religious network" hype is a ruse to take attention away from the facts. The facts speak for themselves, and they are quite clear: the codices we have all seen are fakes. You can choose to ignore the evidence but don't project your conspiracy theories onto others.

Well Done, Sums everything up.

ive hered some people say 800-1000-2000 years old where do they get thnis extra 1000 years from

Disappointing to say the least

@tomverenna your the douche who cares too much about having your opinion taken seriously that you have to attack and insult anyone who thretens your false beliefs. Talk all you want because know one really cares about you or your jealous crazy opinions tom. Happy New Year!!! ;)

[tomverenna]

@bosco11x You have avoided dealing with the issues we've presented and instead simply restated exactly what is shown to be false. The only reason this is the case is (a) you are Elkington, (b) you were lied to by someone you trust, (c) you are delusional, or (d) you're a liar. I'm sorry I mistook you for a rational person.

[tomverenna]

@bosco11x Northover, who did the Oxford analysis, shows clearly that the corrosion is not ancient. Read the unaltered analysis at Dan McClellan's blog. Stating repeatedly that 'the tablets are authentic' does not make it true; the Oxford metallurgical report disagrees with you.

[tomverenna]

@bosco11x The corrosion is not ancient; where are you getting this information from? You clearly are just lying now, since it is proven that the reports from Northover state otherwise. From the actual (not the altered) reports:

"In the present writer’s view this is not characteristic of lead that has been buried where it would be expected that the surface crust would be thicker and that there would be greater penetration of the metal leaving, at least, a pitted surface."

(more...)

[bosco11x]

@tomverenna not only is the lead very old but the corrosion over the depictions is ancient. Sounds more like you have a personal problem with Elkington. I have studied the dead sea scrolls in my courses and can read Hebrew and some Latin. The tablets are authentic to many and that will never change no matter what you do so theres no point getting defensive. Its been intresting talking to you and seeing your views enjoy your opinions, and happy new year! ;)

@bosco11x See my discussion here for the chariot and Alexander coins that are absolutely identical matches:

danielomcclellan[.]wordpress[.­]com/2011/08/30/steve-caruso-b­eats-me-to-the-punch-and-more/

Those coins are fakes, too. There are no tests that show a provenance from 1800-2000 years ago. Dr. Northover's report has been demonstrably altered by Elkington, and he has stated directly to me and to others that his analysis does not rule out a modern provenance. No others have been produced.

[tomverenna]

@bosco11x Finally, the trees are taken from coins dating to Ambivulus, see here:

tomverenna.wordpress[.]com/201­­1/09/17/jordan-lead-codices-p­a­lm-tree/

And your weak comparison to the dead sea scrolls shows how little you know about them and these codices.

[tomverenna]

@bosco11x They are an exact match, actually. Again, go to this site:

bibliobloglibrary[.]com[/]jord­­an-lead-codices[/]visualizing­-­the-problems[.]php

(remove the [])

Check the images again. They are identical. Pay close attention to the wheel of the chariot. Notice even the spokes of the chariot line up (one is crooked on the codex and identically crooked on the trinket, the only explanation is that the codex icon was caste from the same die as the trinket).
