The Shapira Scroll was first introduced to the world back in 1883 and there has been much debate surrounding its authenticity ever since. But now, a new expert has come forward claiming that it is in fact the real deal and is “actually the oldest known Biblical script” that has ever been found. The scroll is a paleo-Hebrew script written on fifteen leather strips that contain verses from the book of Deuteronomy and even an 11th commandment, “you should not hate your own brothers: I am God, your God”. Jerusalem antiques dealer Moses Wilhelm Shapira claimed to have found the scroll in a cave near the Dead Sea. He sold the scroll to the British Museum for £1 million who then put two pieces on display for the public to view.
