Police find historical leather-bound Bible during road checks in Turkey's Aksaray

434


Police carrying out routine road checks in Turkey's central Niğde province confiscated an ancient bible inside a vehicle, reports said Saturday.

According to reports, the Bible was confiscated inside a vehicle belonging to driver Sertip B. accompanied with Syrian nationals Darsim H., Sowd H. and Iraqi national Muhammed H. on the Aksaray-Adana highway.

The suspects were detained by police, reports said, adding that an investigation has been launched into the incident.

The bible manuscript is written on leather and is believed to have historical value.

The smuggling of historical artifacts into Turkey from conflict-ridden neighboring Syria has significantly increased in recent years, especially with the rise of terrorist groups, according to figures. Turkey, meanwhile, has stepped up its border security, leading to a rise in artifact seizing as well.

Who gives a fux if Jesus was black. He's not divine and he's not the king of all nations.

And oh yeah....a Halo is a Buddhist symbol/iconography

Job 9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he

Malachi 1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.

But...but...I thought the Bible was a "white man's book" and we were introduced to it via the caucazoid :mjgrin:

I think the text is possibly Coptic.

Just a guess on my part.

Yes....the text in the picture (opening post/thread starter) looks Coptic....post#1
The Iconography looks like it from Levant (referencing the picture here as well)

I was referring to the video clip...post#4
That would make it more Egyptian than Ethiopian, even though you have a point being it is Christian and the Coptics were mostly based in Egypt.
The Iconography also looks Ethiopian.

The writing in the video is 100% Proto-Ethiopic/Sabean

It's the father language to modern Ethiopic (Amharic, Tigrinya)

The text in the book in the OP looks either Greek or Coptic.

I see no reason why Ethiopian Christians would ever depict Jesus and their religious figures as white :yeshrug:

That said, knowing Jesus color is not nearly as important as knowing his life/teaching/message:hubie:
Menelik II referred to himself as caucasian
:mjpls:
